QCA9880 OpenWRT signal is very poor

mayfa

THERE IS A QCA9880 AC NETWORK CARD IN MY HAND, AND SEVERAL VERSIONS OF OPENWT X86 HAVE BEEN SWIPED, AND THE SIGNAL IS VERY POOR, WHETHER IT IS 2.4G OR 5G, THE SIGNAL IS ONLY 30% WITHIN 1 METER, AND THE ANTENNA IS GOOD, SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT IT IS THE DRIVING PROBLEM OF ATH10K. In addition, I found that the MAC address seems to be wrong, the last 3 groups are 12 34 56, please ask you to have this card in your hand, do you have these problems? How to solve the weak wireless signal, thank you

I've taken it apart and seen the chip.,It's BR4A,It's not the V1 version,5G and 2.4G can be recognized.,It's just that the signal is very poor.,The MAC address should be incorrect.,A netizen said it's the driver problem of ATH10K.,You can modify the driver to solve it.

The signal difference is a driving problem, and Xiaobai will not change the driver

For driver problems, QCA closed-source drivers can only exert their performance

Where is the closed-source driver?

It is better to brush Pandora with QCA9880 chips

Is there a Pandora's X86?
