RT-AC56U wireless driver

[neoteny]

First of all, i appreciated your work, Merlin.)
I,m using Macbook Retina with my RT-AC56U. Before RT-AC56U_3.0.0.4_378.51_0 release i was having troubles with signal strength and random disconnects without able to reconnect again. Also only a few channels where available (from 36 to 48). Wireless driver included in RT-AC56U_3.0.0.4_378.51_0 release resolves all the problems, SIGNIFICANTLY improves signal strengths and opens channels up to 112. I was absolutely happy!
But newer releases uses Mar 12 2015 15:45:59 version 6.37.14.86 (r456083) wi-fi driver and all the channels gone. And signal is crappy again =(
Is it possible to return RT-AC56U_3.0.0.4_378.51_0 wi-fi driver?

(RT-AC56U EU version, Bootloader (CFE) 1.0.2.6)

Hmm, the only time I saw those channels enabled was when Merlin was using the AC68U Wi-Fi driver in the experimental DPI builds. Since then Asus released a proper DPI enabled driver for the AC56U and that's what is used now.

Make sure you have DFS enabled - this is mandatory to gain access to the second band of 5 GHz channels in EU.

I dont see any menu to enable DFS. Only 802.11d+h....In previous build DFS was enabled by default.
And yes, it was RT-AC56U_3.0.0.4_378.51_dpi (experimental).

Sorry for not Eng pictures.
Pl-l-l-e-e-e-s, make available releases with RT-AC56U_3.0.0.4_378.51_dpi driver (wl0: Jan 15 2015 08:50:49 version 6.37.14.86 (r456083) )

DFS support should be enabled with 802.11d+h.

Beyond that, no idea.

802.11d+h enabled, but it's no effect.
By the way, as shown on pictures above difference in signal quality is 10 dBm. Its huge. I think its not Macbook specific. Maybe it'll be beneficial for all, if rt-ac56u build spot "experimental" driver. =)
