Hello @ll, i am now trying to get this 8189ftv to work in hostapd with 150mbps brutto. Did anyone of you get this device to worj with that speed? According to my other post here in the forum i am only getting 72.2 mbps even with a patched hostapd version where the neighbor scan is disabled. In this case the opi tells me that hostapd is running with 150mbps but clients are also only connecting with 72.2mbps. my question to you guys also did these tests: did anyone get more speed than 72.2 mbps in brutto? The range is also not really good with the standard antenna. Only getting 6mbps brutto after 2 walls indoor and 10 meters distance. This belongs to the orange pi pc plus, but it is using the same 8189ftv. THX

hello, i can not find any datasheet or pinout about the 8189ftv. do you think there is an unused pin on the ic, where, with some soldering skills it should be possible to add an 2nd antenna? the weird thing for me is, that ive seen some cheap aps with only one antenna and no onboard antenna where the clients are getting 150mbps brutto. For me it is clear that there is a big gap between of about 50% between brutto and netto data rates in wifi section. And also In openelec ive seen that this orangepi AS CLIENT is getting 150 mbps. So why not as hostapd? Thx in advance EDIT: testet now the netto throughput via usb HDD NTFS mounted and samba - shared. To my laptop I get NETTO between 5.0 and 5.1 Megabyte per second even with 20 and 40MHz channel(ed). So obviously it makes no effect and you are right - i need a second antenna. Dirk

Hi there, in the meantime does there exist a how to do with the raspberry camera??? There are many information on this topic, but for me it is not clear: is there a clear guideline how I use the RPi Cam with my OPi PC Plus? As I understood how ever the PINs must be reversed 1 -> 24 and 24 -> 1??? Does this "reversion of the pins" apply to the OPi board which need the adapter for the OPi cam or does this apply to the boards where you can directly connect the OPi Cam (sun8xi sells 2 versions of their camera module)???

Hello, I am new to orange PIs and got a "OPi PC plus" a few weeks ago. After some research I found out, that armbian ist the best OS for me In the past I tried with effort to set up a 3G / Lan / WIFI Router with USB / Samba share to have mobile network and files. It works like a charm, outer that I can not get more than 72.2 mbps to my wifi clients. Today I had many time to search and first result is, that the neighbor scan will reduce to 20MHz channels because of detected overlapping APs. With a patched version of hostapd you should be able to set 40MHz channels by overriding the scan. Infos here: https://www.brunsware.de/blog/gentoo/hostapd-40mhz-disable-neighbor-check.html before I patched the two files "h3consumption -p" told me: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"XxX" Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>" Mode:Master Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Bit Rate:72.2 Mb/s Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 after patching and new compiling hostapd I got wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"XxX" Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>" Mode:Master Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Bit Rate:150 Mb/s Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 BUT all my clients will not get more than 72.2 mbit, even a 150mbps capable laptop, also a Galaxy S7 edge... For example, with an x86 wifi router self build both, laptop and phone get 150mbps, so it must not lay on the clients. I think it must be a driver issue. Thanks for any help Dirk
