I had an E7350 (same platform as that netgear looks like) and was very happy with the WiFi. 2.4ghz was not disappointing.

Can someone elaborate what aql_enable exactly is doing ?

Probably it's better you ask here

Woke up this morning and my 5GHz radio was dead again (interface show disabled in luci). Restarting the radio didn't work, had to completely reboot. I probably should've done more diagnosing to help here but I needed my network back up immediately.

The radio has 4 SSIDs broadcasting currently, set to DFS channel 100 with 80MHz bandwidth. WPA3 only on the main network and WPA2+WPA3 on the others (which aren't even currently used). Running 2022-rc4. Same exact settings on 2.4G and I don't have this issue (only the random disconnect issue that resolves itself).

2371

Anything in dmesg or logread to indicate cause?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to check as I mentioned I needed the network back up immediately and so I rebooted. Next time it happens I'll be sure to look though. Happens very irregularly and has probably been a month or two since the last time it happened.

FYI mt76 driver was updated in 22.03 branch yesterday.

Testing on my RT3200 now. No obvious regressions so far.

Looks substantive. Thanks for the heads up. How do we verify that the latest 22.03 snapshot includes this commit?

2377

You have to build your own load for now.

Prepare to dedicate an afternoon or more to this if you are unfamiliar with building embedded Linux images. This is a steep learning curve for a casual user. If you aspire to become a developer, this is an essential first step.

If this is too much, just wait for rc5 to come out.

You can take the git hash and check which commit it's made from.

Thanks - this is what I was looking for so we can see where the snapshot falls in the history of commits. Is there a way to check the build status of snapshots relative to the most recent commit? Or just to check what the build status is of the latest snapshot for the 22.03 branch?

You have to scroll to the right and look under column "mediatek/mt7622" to check the build status for that specific commit.

hello what does the addition of this driver update mean? is it to solve the wifi problem or simply announcing that 22.03 is more than very close to its release ^^ because I see marked OpenWrt 22.03 in the buildbot page?

Thanks a lot !

@nbd I updated my Belkin RT3200 from

OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r19873-a703f9ed0b / LuCI Master git-22.167.28356-8effea5

to

OpenWrt 22.03-SNAPSHOT r19455-f608779f92 / LuCI openwrt-22.03 branch git-22.167.28394-8a4486a

Now, I do not see 5 GHz SSID in my phone. System Log shows:

Sat Jun 25 12:55:13 2022 daemon.notice hostapd: handle_probe_req: send failed
Sat Jun 25 12:55:14 2022 daemon.notice hostapd: handle_probe_req: send failed
Sat Jun 25 12:55:16 2022 daemon.err hostapd: nl80211: kernel reports: integer out of range
Sat Jun 25 12:55:22 2022 daemon.err hostapd: nl80211: kernel reports: integer out of range

Is this due to updated mt76 or is something wrong with hostapd / wpad in 22.03 branch? I am using wpad-openssl.

Please try removing option he_bss_color '128'

Should I remove it completely or set it to some value in 1 to 63 range, for HE20 to work?

2385

I think either is fine

2386

That worked. I changed he_bss_color to '8' in /etc/config/wireless. Thank you.

I didn't expect that option to cause issues. I used '128' to force setting random BSS Color number in hostapd during runtime.
