Using the Lima development board, the wlan works find, and broadcasts.

Using the exact same settings on our custom board with the industry Lima, the wlan doesn't broadcast.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Does this have anything to do with SMART_ANT_CTL_2? Which is controlled by qca_mux_ctl....

Furthermore, we only use one of the ethernet ports (eth0). What should eth1 be connected to? Can the pins float?

Thanks for the reply.

The datasheet I have does not have that information. Could you direct me to the datasheet you are referring to?

WRT our WLAN antenna issues. Do you have any ideas?

I have now attached two pigtail antennas to the module. They don't seem to help our issue.
Do I need to select these, and not the board antenna (just ANT0/1 float)?

There are no differences between commercial an industrial modules.Only extended temperature range.Maybe your module is faulty ?
