[ROM][7.1.x][v500][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 [Nightly]

This version does not work for my 5GHz (Netgear R6300, region:US), it was dropped out after flashed this ROM.

Works quite well

Where are you from? (Country).
It had been that some from one local will connect, but others so far, can't connect. We need to show what country we are in.
I am now in the US. Where are you btfree?
--------------------------------------------------
Check your country code by terminal:

iw reg get

or to set your country code by terminal:

iw reg set (country code here-2 letters)
Example: For me: iw reg set US

I am located in Taiwan, bought the R6300 from US, it can only select region: North America (channel set 149).
iw reg get, shows

global
country 00: DFS-UNSET

Hope this helps.
But the 5Ghz's speeds(by Speedtest.net) are all relatively lower than the LG 4.4.2 stock ROM's.

Ok, here you have a new wifi test zip, and hopefully the last. It also contains the boot.img, so don't recommend it in other rom threads. Let me know how is the 5Ghz band, and also if you get wifi disconnects again (I had to revert some wifi changes).

Although my 5GHz was connecting, very recently it kept dropping the connection. I had to enable connection to my 2.4GHz for a stable signal.

Currently trying your wifi4 test and shows a good strong signal on 5GHz. Let's see how it holds up.

Can see and connect to my 5GHz network now. So far the connection has been stable, so let's hope it'll stay that way :laugh:

Just flashed the zip and it seems that the annoying authentication issue on 5ghz is finally gone. I'll do more tests tomorrow and let you know if i get disconnects again.

 

[Cal]

Yeah! Seems to be holding...and 5GHz!
Will post back, but all seems stable.

Woks like a charm! Thanks!

My router is set to US with a different SSID for 2.4 and 5ghz. I set iw reg to US, rebooted but it reverts back to UNSET (00). Before rebooting it does not work.
I can see my 5ghz, and it saves but does not connect. Same behavior unpatched, patch v2 and v4.
Anything else I can try?

 

[Cal]

Excuse my post.

After almost a day of intensive usage i can say that 5ghz now works but at first I was getting random disconnects and very slow speed (pages not loading etc.) so i changed gEnableAutomaticTxPowerControl from 1 to 0 in wcnss_qcom_cfg.ini and now it works fine.

Another thing: I did some research and found a zip containing wcnss_qcom_cfg.ini and WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin from stock 4.4.2 GPE. I compared both files with the ones we are using now and the .bin is exactly the same (so i assume we are now using kitkat wifi drivers right?) while in the .ini there are marginal differences and the most relevant ones are, in my opinion, gEnableAutomaticTxPowerControl=0 and McastBcastFilter=0.

I don't know if setting McastBcastFilter=0 instead of 3 changes something or not (i didn't try yet) but, at least for me, gEnableAutomaticTxPowerControl=0 seems to make my 5ghz more stable (i'll test 2.4 ghz tomorrow).

No Wi-Fi issues at all after a full day. Guess the problem is finally solved now!

 

[Cal]

All seems solid here with both bands of wifi connecting and no disconnects. Very smooth and no drop connects by the default browser. Much better than before. Seems all wifi issues are fixed here.
Only change I made before this wifi "fix" was a change of gapps to open-nano.
Thanks fefifofum for solving our wifi band issues. Nice to have 5GHz stable and a stronger signal than before.

People, do you know any gallery app that preserves all the cached thumbnails in 7.1.1 ROM like this? QuickPic and stock gallery permanently deletes all the thumbs.

I don't no.
Try Piktures.

Try Piktures.

Tried it, no luck.

 

[paulomodesto]

I think you will have to try one by one all the apps on Play Store.

Seems there is some cache autoclean feature in Nougat that cannot be disabled...
