AR5213 with no turbo?

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi all,

I own a RB-532 running MTv2.9.13 equipped with a CM9 similar mini-pci wlan card with the AR5213 chipset. Wierdly enough, at the “band” pull down menu the option 2.4GHz-G-Turbo is not availablle.
The same type of card is also installed on a PC with MT v2.9.6 and works perfectly with that band option.

What do you make out of this?

Regards

Only the 5214 chip supports turbo – this is reported by the eeprom to driver and you then you don’t get that option.

i’m using cm9 AR5213 which does support 2.4 turbo - check your country setting

as was explained in my previous post. The same cards on a Routerboard 14 in a PC with MT 2.9.6 support 2.4 turbo.

What country code should I try? Currently I am using the no_country_set option. Have tried a bunch of different ones to no result.

Thanks in advance

To quote, he said a “CM9 similar card” – so it is not a CM9.

sorry, did not notice the “similar”

i did found that some countries does not support turbo mode

After consulting with support I was instructed to enable the wireless-legacy package.
After doing so the turbo option became available.

but this is not the fix, it is only the workaround as the wireless-legacy uses older wireless driver which doesn’t check the eeprom for supported bands.
