Yes, I tried it’s working very well. It switched from low power indoor mode to standard power.
I get ~2800mbps on my S24Ultra which is 600mbps more than without AFC.

Looks very promising. Finally! Now if they can also push AFC for the be98 pro...

I am having issues with my AFC not going into standard power mode do to a control channel conflict. I am on the 320Mhz width and have tried several different channels including 182 which has been a good channel to use for non interference. I have changed the router to auto on the control channel to see if this helps. Once I get home from work I will have my phone on the net to see if this changes things. If so then auto will be something I guess I will need to use. Would anyone like to share what control channels they have tried and got AFC to work?
