The box restarted in safe mode for some reason, but after a reboot it started normally again.
Wi-Fi connects, but I’ve been disconnected twice while streaming a movie. The bandwidth also seems low for Wi-Fi 6, even when testing right next to the box:
Performance isn’t better on the Android side either, so I suspect the integrated antennas might be poor.
Would it be better to connect using p2p0 or wlan0?
edit:
Something is wrong, can’t get a stable link:
Just tested EA6621QT_SEEKWAVE_R00005.bin as calibration file (renamed to be loaded). Now the connection is stable at ~240 Mbit/s on 5Ghz and ~70 Mbit/s on 2.4Ghz.
I also put in firmware directory the 3 files aml_wifi_rf.txt, aml_w2_rf_0640_0111.txt and aml_w2_rf_0640_0332.txt. But as there’s no mention in dmesg I think the only benefit comes from the other calibration file loaded.
EDIT:
I spoke too soon, I’m still getting disconnected.
Will need to wait for a better driver I beleive
Thank you very much for your valuable time.

The files are unavailable now, I tried to compile the github repo but no chance for me.
There are these two calibration files that I would have liked to test.
ok tested the 4 calibration files, no chance here. I monitored the bandwitch for each of them but I got disconnected randomly during the test. Link is robust on idle though.
EA6521QF_SEEKWAVE_R00005.bin - 80-120 Mbps / disconnected after 35 seconds
EA6521QT_SEEKWAVE_R00005.bin - 230-260 Mbps / disconnected after 4 seconds
EA6621Q_SEEKWAVE_R00005.bin - 90-150 Mbps / disconnected after 52 seconds
EA6621QT_SEEKWAVE_R00005.bin - 60-160 Mbps / disconnected after 12 seconds
Rockchip thread mentions a file named skw_bootcoms.ko which is not loaded here. Can it be needed?
EDIT2: I tested iperf3 with Android, and the only thing it does better is reconnect very quickly after a disconnection. The speeds are poor (~80 Mbps) and unstable. That chip is just garbage.
Thanks for your help anyway. I will just giveup at this point.
I haven’t yet found a thread where the supported chipsets for CE-NO are mentioned. That could be useful to help us choose an efficient stick that works.
from the readme : Note that if you use this driver on kernels older than 5.15, the enhanced features of wifi 5 and wifi 6 are greatly crippled as the kernel does hot have the capability to support the new packet widths and speeds.
I understand that we might have a chance to get this driver working with 5.15? That would greatly improve Coreelec’s compatibility with recent wifi sticks.
Just tried the recent nightly of NO (CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-22.0-Piers_nightly_20250825-Generic) and I got BT back but no wifi. I’m not too sure how to post logs without wifi. I’m on a S905X4 HK1 RBOX X4
