Topic: Openwrt no 5ghz on WLR-8100

The content of this topic has been archived on 20 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,

I have installed Openwrt on my Sitecom WLR-8100. Everthing seems to work fine with the exception of the 5 GHz (802.11ac). In the wiki there is a link to a bin file with the 5 GHz support. I'm not so familiar with OpenWRT, how do I use / install this bin file in a running OpenWRT system?

I tried with opkg but it doesnt work to install a .bin file.

Plz help me.

Hi All,

I have the same problem. On the wiki it says:

Enabling 5GHz

Due to redesigns within the ath10k wireless driver - latest images do not work without modification of config files. Extracting caldata from art partition currently does not seem to work and is therefore not yet integrated in upstream firmware.

cat /etc/modules.d/55-ath10k 
ath10k_core skip_otp=y
ath10k_pci skip_otp=y

Can anyone help? What should I do in order to get the 5ghz working?

Thanks in advance..

The discussion might have continued from here.
