5GHz wifi dropping 8devices jalapeno

No sure what is going on here, first I thought it be be not enough power to the device which I have corrected with a Anker 60w smart power plug and that seems to working on that end.

However most if not all of my devices are conneceted via 5ghz and all of a sudden it will sort of just kick us all off on this device. I am using what I believe is the latest build of openwrt stable "OpenWrt 18.06.2 r7676-cddd7b4c77 / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.020.41695-6f6641d)" this was direct from the openwrt page for this device https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/8devices/8devices_jalapeno.

I do not keep any crazy odd settings I use Cake with Piece of Cake I have a 60/5 connection from Crapcast and everything that can be plugged in is, I have an 8 port monoprice switch.

2.4ghz seems to be fine and never kicks its devices. I thought heat so I just added a fan to the device.

Anyone else have this issue, maybe I should use a different openwrt build?

I just noticed this in my log for upnp, could this be my issue?

It should not be connected, but it is highly recommended to avoid using the upnp as it can be a security risk. Try to uninstall it and see how it goes.

Can you try using snapshots?

I will look at using a snapshot when the house is empty, right now I put everyone on 2.4ghz network and all is fine.

I might also go back to .1 from .2 and see if that clears it up for now.

Its most likely ath10k-firmware version issue.
Current ones in snapshots are pretty good with ath10k-ct and a lot of spam from the driver was removed

Thanks for this tip. Would moving to the CT version available on stable be a good idea instead of having to move to snapshots?

As a reference this is IPQ/QCA4019 version.

You cant really do that as those firmware version require newer driver.
What are you afraid with snapshots?

Was not so much a fear more so I didn't want to have to re-set up everything. But we must do what we must do. I hope to have time tonight, will confirm if this works or not.

If you preserve settings after flash and use a script to reinstall all extra packages you installed, it won't be too difficult or time consuming.

Thanks for that. I wasn't sure if I should preserve settings going from stable to snapshot.

So figured out the issue is my channel for 5ghz is 36 however I had my width at 80, this was not a good choice not sure how that happened anyways. Moved to 40 for now.

If your problem is solved, feel free to mark the relevant post as the solution; and edit the title to add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning (click the pencil behind the topic).

I certainly will I am just waiting a whole 24 hours to make sure this is in fact the issue. I have everyone now back on 5ghz to test.
