More and more users are complaining that this firmware update introduces 
a regression of not being able to support 5 GHz and 6 GHz together 
anymore. Apparently the EEPROM data needs to be patched to limit support 
to one of the two bands, otherwise both don't work.
Switching at runtime apparently doesn't work without a firmware restart.

Is there any chance we could get a firmware that fixes this bug?

Thanks,

- Felix

Hi Felix,

We've released new firmware which enables 5+6 GHz on mt7916 band1 to
mt76 community, and are collecting feedbacks from users.
I'll send the updated firmware after getting positive feedbacks.

Thanks,
Shayne

That sounds great.

Thanks a lot,
