5 GHz band always busy (24.10.5)

Klingon · February 17, 2026, 11:37am

Hi everyone,

Running a wireless scan on 5 Ghz. band (in luci or cli) is always busy, showing no results.
Devices can connect with no issues... but no info about my neighbours channels.

No matter what I do (reboot, shutdown and wait, disable/enable interface....) always same result.
In 2.4 Ghz band, no issues about, only in 5 Ghz.

Anyone in the same way?

Thanks,

run logread -f via ssh.
click scan button
post log entries from logread.

have you by any chance updated any packages ?

egc · February 17, 2026, 11:41am

Perhaps try the non CT firmware

"have you by any chance updated any packages ?"

No, default packages...

I'll try it again (I tested with 25.12.XX), the result was the same as CT.

Whic+ of 2 wireless scans you are running? Both require country set.

Klingon · February 17, 2026, 2:01pm

Interface scanning:

2.4 Ghz. - Working
5 Ghz. - Not Working

Both interfaces same country set

If I run 2.4 Ghz. I get info about my interface + neighbours channels.
If I run 5 Ghz. I only get my interface channel.. nothing else.

Interface 5 Ghz.

Being client (STA) or monitor effectively prevents channel switch.

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):

Try two scans in the luci-

Status/Channel Analysis
Network/Wireless/scan next to 5ghz radio.

Your setup looks perfectly fine. Wave1 ath10k had fake "background scan" that AP was blinking while you scan, but yours is wave2 and should have no problems.

Can you verify that you have mainline linux driver + firmware (default were -ct)?

opkg update
opkg remove ath10k-firmware-qca4019-ct kmod-ath10k-ct
opkg install ath10k-firmware-qca4019 kmod-ath10k

@anon63541380 @Jaidee

I have "downgraded" to 23.05.5 (same config - also ct driver), now scan works in 2.4 GHz. and 5 GHz. band.

Something is "buggy" in 24.10.XX (at least for my device)

anon63541380 · February 17, 2026, 3:00pm

If you change the driver and reboot?

Klingon · February 17, 2026, 3:01pm

In 24.10.5, not working, the same at CT driver.

EDIT: In 25.12-rc4... the same as 24.10.5
Usually before posting a problem.... I try to solve by myself changing configs/firmware versions.

Klingon · February 17, 2026, 3:04pm

I'll stay in 23.05.XX, is not a problem in my case.

anon63541380 · February 17, 2026, 3:11pm

Well, depends on the device and wifi chip config - some need one or another driver to work at all, or to set up the mesh etc.

My Country is set to ES in both radios, no US in any config file.

Any idea??

Result of scanning:

Around my area, scanning with my laptop/mobile I find many 5 Ghz. SSIDs.
No matter if I put 'auto' in channel selection or a fixed channel, always same result.
