Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450 WiFi AX discussion

Same issue with auc here. The online image builder is working and just used it to sysupgrade.

I think good news re. PPPoE + hardware offloading with this update. My litmus test that it works is Amazon Alexa can reliably control my Philips Hue hub / lights. I enabled it after updating and so far so good. Will keep it turned on and see how things go over the next day or two. Previously with it on other things such as a couple of cloud / IP cameras report a loss of connectivity after 12 hours or so. If that doesn't happen and Alexa continues to work with the lights then I would consider the issue resolved!

Same issue with auc here. The online image builder is working and just used it to sysupgrade.

Does anyone have a clever 'ubus' command or otherwise to dump out the list of currently installed packages, so that it is just a simple cut and paste into the online builder? I suspect I could strip off the version information dumped from 'opkg list-installed' but it seems like there is probably a much easier way I'm not thinking of.

LuCi attended sysupgrade still not working for me. Same error message as above.

My easy way is I maintain a text file with the string of packages I have installed. I then remove a couple from the default list since they are replaced then I copy / paste my string onto the end of the list and verify using the installed list once the image is built.

Does this support 2.4ghz 40mhz?

I've set mine to use 40 but it's only broadcasting 20

If there's any overlap with other detected AP for the secondary it'll refuse to unless they vacate or you set noscan. The latter is non-compliant.

You may not see better performance anyway, as you then need to have a compatible client, and a not very noisy environment.

Thanks a lot, it works!

My testing shows massive performance drop with ax 160mh. Ax 80mhz, ac 160mhz, ac 80mhz all performing within 10% of each other.

Running 22.03-rc1

@hnyman any idea about this:

Sorry, no idea.
(I have never used auc, as I build my own firmware from scratch.)

I found the issue: the default attended sysupgrade server is down. Replacing with asu.aparcar.org in LuCi (or /etc/ocnfig/attendedsyupgrade) allows update to go ahead.

Looks like the thermal fix for 5.10 and 5.15 will be landing soon, which should boost performance a bit with less throttling, at least, that's what I've seen so far. It definitely affects the 'schedutil' freq numbers before and after.

I'm using this device with today's snapshot in dumb AP mode. Everything's working great, except for IPv6 traffic for wireless clients. Router advertisements are working fine -- wireless clients are getting IPv6 addresses from the PD advertised by my ISP and delegated by my router. Wired clients on the same subnet as the wireless clients have full IPv6 connectivity. The WAP itself has a SLAAC IPv6 address on its management interface and I have full IPv6 connectivity from the WAP, as well. It's only the WAP's wireless clients that can't receive IPv6 traffic.

Here's a tcpdump running on my router (the next hop for my wireless clients), observing a single ping from a wireless client to ipv6.google.com:

20:49:15.755256 IP6 (flowlabel 0x00400, hlim 63, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 16) 2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx > mad07s10-in-x0e.1e100.net: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, echo request, id 5572, seq 0
20:49:15.774956 IP6 (flowlabel 0x00400, hlim 115, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 16) mad07s10-in-x0e.1e100.net > 2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, echo reply, id 5572, seq 0
20:49:15.843021 IP6 (flowlabel 0x928da, hlim 64, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 64) 2001:8a0:75be:9600::1 > mad07s10-in-x0e.1e100.net: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, destination unreachable, unreachable address 2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

On the router, ip -6 neigh show shows:

2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx dev br0.100  FAILED

and it's the same story for all other wireless client IPv6 addresses.

I recalled that my R7800 had a similar issue with IPv6, and I dug up these old threads which I used to fix the issue on the R7800:

However, setting neither allmulti nor promisc on all of my bridge interfaces makes any difference on my RT3200. (Wireless clients are on a separate VLAN (100) from the WAP's management traffic (101).)

Is anyone able to pass IPv6 traffic to wireless clients through this device when configured as a dumb AP, and/or is anyone else seeing the same issue as I am?

I'm interested to your IPv6 issue but I couldn't not reproduce.

I have RT3200 as dumb AP as well. The IPv6 works fine. My AP doesn't have IPv6 configured normally.

I tried adding DHCPv6 interface AP, with dhcpv6 or SLAAC only (reqaddress='none'). Wireless clients' IPv6 still work fine, in different VLANs/VAPs.

Here's my test config.

root@RT3200-3:~# uci show network.lan6
network.lan6=interface
network.lan6.proto='dhcpv6'
network.lan6.device='@lan'
network.lan6.reqprefix='no'
network.lan6.reqaddress='none'
root@RT3200-3:~# uci show firewall.@zone[0]
firewall.cfg02dc81=zone
firewall.cfg02dc81.name='lan'
firewall.cfg02dc81.input='ACCEPT'
firewall.cfg02dc81.output='ACCEPT'
firewall.cfg02dc81.forward='ACCEPT'
firewall.cfg02dc81.network='lan' 'lan6'

Could you provide more info on your VAP setup and AP SLAAC setup?
A tcpdump from your AP may be helpful too.

How about this. I log in using ssh, then issue:

opkg list-installed |  grep -o '^[^ ]*'

If you want to copy it to a file on your workstation, try:

opkg list-installed | grep -o '^[^ ]' > /tmp/installed-pkgs.txt 

and then use scp to copy it to your workstation.
Your mileage may vary. I did find that I had to edit a few package names where grep didn't strip the name right (like libwolfssl5.2.0.31258522, which I think should just be "libwolfssl").

An update on this, I've been on
r19616-98bb26f9f7 for a while now and yikes.
The issue has been happening nearly every day.

I decided as a test to switch my 5GHz interface
from:
WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE Mixed Mode
to:
WPA2-PSK only

And to my surprise the rate at which the 5GHz interface dies is much much faster.
It regularly disappears within hours now rather than days.

Relevant context:
Mode AX, Channel 124, Width 160MHz, Default Driver Max Transmit Power
Isolate clients on
My 2.4GHz interface is completely disabled; I do not use it. The few times I have it on the issue only affects the 5GHz interface, the 2.4GHz one does not experience these issues.

When bugged out, Luci shows

MediaTek MT7915E 802.11nacax

I also have the logread if needed.

Note: As a next test I am changing exclusively to WPA3 security mode

[59691.958173] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan1: link becomes ready

This appears on change and the interface is restored without needing to reboot the router.
I am wondering if it is normal operation that
[59626.940986] device wlan1 entered promiscuous mode occurs so much

Or if my issue is with IPv6 this whole time. I'll be careful not to test two things at once.

Has anyone tested the E8400/RT3200 with PPPoE H/W offload and has stable operation?

My E8450 kernel panic just after one day uptime with H/W offload enabled. It is running my own build from master pulled (as of this commit) just a few day ago. While enabling H/W offload does make CPU load almost zero, this random panic is not good. I've disable H/W offload for the time being, with just S/W offload enabled.

I saw a similar bug report in OpenWrt Github's repo, so I posted the stack trace there.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I can't test for awhile because I'm no longer on site where the WAP is located, though I can remotely get the config.

My WAP has 3 VLANs: one for client devices, one for devices that communicate with client devices via mDNS but don't need Internet access (e.g., HomeKit devices), and one for managing the WAP itself. I believe that only the management VLAN needs an interface with an IPv6 address, because the client and mDNS VLANs are just dumb bridges (or at least, that's how it was configured on my R7800 with the working IPv6 configuration, and I've replicated that config on the RT3200).

The backhaul from the WAP to the router is via the device's WAN port, which is configured as a trunk interface with traffic for all 3 VLANs passing through it as tagged packets.

The management interface's config looks like this:

# uci show network.mgmt6
network.mgmt6=interface
network.mgmt6.proto='dhcpv6'
network.mgmt6.device='br-lan.101'
network.mgmt6.reqaddress='try'
network.mgmt6.reqprefix='auto'
network.mgmt6.delegate='0'

However, I don't think that the management interface's IPv6 configuration should have any effect on passing IPv6 traffic to the client and mDNS networks, since none of their traffic passes through there. Likewise, as the dumb WAP isn't acting as a router or otherwise forwarding packets to the client and mDNS networks, I don't see how the firewall configuration is relevant, either. In any case, all of the firewall configurations are set to ACCEPT, just to be sure.

It is working reliably now for me after building/installing OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r19620-d9a063c396 a couple of days ago.

Hope this helps.

Not asking for an ETA, but is this router expected to make it to release anytime soon? Although I must to say it has been rather unreliable for me during the past 6 months with https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer .

Thanks
