First, thanks to the developers who got this image baked for us to download. It's really cool to get 802.11r on mikrotik with openwrt. I'm trying to get my device working with OpenWRT. I am a dev, but no experience with wifi or embedded. My goal is to use this as a dumb access point: I want to bring in tagged VLAN traffic on the wan port and split into three SSIDs. I have three other devices with this same vlan setup, each different hardware (archer a7, nighthawk 6700, eap615)
I'm having issues with my device crashing. It seems to happen when I use wifi. I first feared power issues, so used the OEM PSU. After reading logs, I see there are kernel warnings and after some amount of traffic the device becomes unresponsive on all interfaces. I can get some throughput some times, but generally it crashes before completing a web speed test.
my setup:
- running
openwrt-ipq40xx-mikrotik-mikrotik_cap-ac-initramfs-kernel.bin
- ram fs; not flashed, netbooting each time
- installing luci to get GUI since i'm not quick with scp/files/uci
- wan port on a bridge
- bridge vlan filtering; i think this is the "new" DSA technique

Any answers would be helpful, also wondering...
Has anyone else gotten tagged vlans and 2+ SSIDs working with this hardware?
Has anyone seen similar output to this?
Is this a common failure mode?
Is this because I haven't flashed my onboard storage? I want to find out why I'm crashing before flashing if possible.
Do I need to post more info?
