Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Faced a problem on Linksys EA7300. This is the second time the 2.4 hertz network has been lost. The first time I was able to add a new network and deactivate the old one. This solution lasted a little more than a day. Now the problem is the same and I decided to try to solve it correctly

I'm not good with the console and mostly do everything through the LuCi interface

Where did radio0 go off to? Because it is not in the wireless config.

Yep, it is down all right.

My fail during copying

LuCI is fine. Don't worry about it.

You have been split into two threads so, ignore the other.

Go:
Status/ Channel Analysis/ 2.4 and show me the screenshot.

7

It takes much more time, that I expect

and 2.4 just stuck on this

Refresh doesn't help

8

Need 2.4.

you can delete 5 screenshots.

9

Oh, the situation has changed, now the web interface is not responding, but the internet and ssh still work

10

I think radios are having issue, reboot and try the screenshot again.

11

Okay, apparently the holy reboot has brought the wifi back to life

I didn't even realize I had so many wifi networks near me.....

12

Well, it picked channel 6 in the last config and it went back to 6.

Do you have anything that is wired going to the router?

13

Yes, there are a couple of switch and a home assistant

14

But no computer...

Do you have a laptop you can plug in the router next time the radios go down?

15

Yes, it's possible. I need to find an adapter to it for normal cable connection.

In that case, I'll post something in the thread again on Thursday)

16

When you notice the radio is down, copy the system log including up to 30 minutes before it happened.
System log can have a day in it if you do not have a lot of traffic for it to log; so you do not need to catch it immediately.

That said, you may need to reset the router and start from a blank slate. It was always a configuration mistake I had that caused it.

before you go:
cat /etc/config/wireless and paste it here.

I apologize for the delay

NP.

You have 3 aliases of radio0 but no default configuration. You have 2 aliases of radio1 and 1 default radio1 config.

I'm going to guess that you are trying for/want 2 aliases of radio0 and radio1, and 1 default config of both radio1 and radio0.

I'm too sleepy to stay up; someone will come along and say I'm, totally, wrong and fix something else or fix what I found.

19

My idea was as follows:

I wanted to make wifi for IoT devices, wifi for guests, wifi for tenants and wifi for devices like cameras, robot vacuum cleaner.

At 5 hertz I wanted to output the duplication for guests and tenants.

Maybe I made a mistake and instead of creating a new network, I edited the standard network

I'll be awake in about 10 hours.
