Client mode wireless connection Drops out

[philm001]

Hello all,

I have a WRT1900AC with this version of OpenWRT installed: OpenWrt 18.06.1 r7258-5eb055306f .

Now, I configured one of the radio's (radio0) as a client to connect to the univeristy's eduroam. It is a 802.1x wifi connection. The name for this network is called eduroam. I was able to successfull connect and get internet on the LAN ports. I then configured my other 2 wireless radios to broadcast with different SSIDs. Radio1 is called RGMedia and Radio2 is called RGWireless.

Now about once every 6 - 8 hours, the connection on radio0 drops out and dies. This then kills the internet on the LAN and other WLAN interfaces. I then need to restart the radio and internet is back on.

I recently found out that in my eduroam wireless settings under Interface Configuration->network, both Media and eduroam were selected.

I believe that this caused some interference issues killing the eduroam network. However, since I need to wait another 6 - 8 hours before I say that it worked, I would like discuss with the community if this was an actual fix or if there is something more sinister lurking.

What could cause this issue? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Below is a copy of the log. I marked where the wireless connection died, when it was attempting to perform reconnects, and then, when I reset the system to change the settings.

I don't know why it's disconnecting from eduroam, but it is typical behavior that the local stations stop when the client connection on the same radio stops. Some of the reason behind this is that there is only one radio and its channel depends on the channel of the upstream AP that it connects to. With no upstream AP, the radio doesn't "know" which channel to select. The "travelmate" package is one way to help mitigate this part of the drop.

[philm001]

So if I am understanding you correctly, since eduroam stops transmitting because say there are no clients, then this causes the radio to turn off because it doesn't which channel to select to since there is no upstream?

The travelmate package? I have not heard of this before

[jeff]

I haven't used it myself, but it seems to have quite a following with people that want to connect to another wireless service, then have their own AP for their own devices.

Travelmate support thread

Hi, in the OpenWrt stable & snapshot package repo you'll find the travelmate package, a wlan connection manager for travel router. Main Features STA interfaces operating in an "always off" mode, to make sure that the AP is always accessible Easy setup within normal OpenWrt environment Strong LuCI-Support with builtin interface wizard and wireless connection manager Fast uplink connections Support all kinds of uplinks, incl. hidden and enterprise uplinks WPA3 support includes a vpn hook with …

[philm001]

Thank you for the link! The devices are able to still connect to the router even when the connection between the router and eduroam drops.

The main issue is that the connection between my router and the AP of the university drops and there is no internet.

As a side note, I see that the connection status for eduroam on my router keeps dropping to 0% then shoots back up to 97%. Now this shoot up usually occurs when the traffic is higher (I tested with speedtest.net) and then it shoots down when there is very little traffic. So far, I am assuming that this is some sort of energy saving mode. But just in case that it isn't, is this behavior normal?

[philm001]

Any other thoughts?

[philm001]

So new update. I installed travelmate last night and the connection did end up dieing. However, this morning the connection was back up!

I will be waiting to see if the connection dies again (hopefully it does not) but in the mean, has anyone else ran into something similiar to this?

[philm001]

Ok so the connection is repeatedly dieing over and over again. Eventually, the connection comes back online but it then later dies. Is there anything that I can do to keep the connection up?

[jeff]

@philm001

Is there anything that I can do to keep the connection up?

Inactivity is a common reason for wireless connections to be terminated. Perhaps a ping a minute or two (or five, or ten or ...) to a host on the other side of the link?

So if I am understanding you correctly, since eduroam stops transmitting because say there are no clients, then this causes the radio to turn off because it doesn't which channel to select to since there is no upstream?

This would be a reason that your AP drops.

Ok, great, thanks @jeff

For the ping, would that be a simple cron job?

Edit: Ok, so I created a cron job that will ping google's servers every 15 minutes. Let's see if that will work.

Looking at your log file it looks like the failure is tripped off by the eduroam middle process being unable to renew the DHCP lease. This causes eduroam to shut down, which triggers a client initiated disconnection (deauthenticated by local choice) from the college AP. A few seconds later it reconnects successfully.

@mk24 @jeff

Thank you for your feedback. I did implement Jeff's recommendation where I am pining google's servers every 15 minutes. unfortunately, this did not work and the connection still went down.

Now, is it possible that my AP glitches and cannot renew the DCHP lease causing eduroam to permanently go down? If this is the case, then how cna I fix the issue?

Hello all,

Does anyone have any feedback on fixing the DHCP lease? I am still having the issue and I have attempted to use travelMate, a heartbeat ping, and changing the settings of the router to no avail.

I haven't quite figured out how to fix this DHCP lease.

Could it be the wireless AP is shutting the down network?

I am bumping the post because I really need some assistance

• I gave you a good reason your connection likely drops, did you address that?

• Travelmate was suggested by @jeff above.

Newbie question: how can I broadcast Master SSID if Client SSID not associated?

Hello, I have been using OpenWRT for a while on my single-port HooToo TM06. My use case is as a portable wireless AND wired router, using the wireless CLIENT as WWAN (internet connection) and wired ethernet as "WAN" (no internet), both routed through the second wireless MASTER SSID that I connect my laptop to. This works great, until I forget to disable the wireless CLIENT before leaving a site, and then am unable to reconnect to OpenWRT because the MASTER SSID isn't broadcast unless the CLIE…

Use any of pre-selected number of WiFis, as a repeater/A

Hello, I have two phones at home, both of which support Hotspot mode. I want to configure my OpenWrt to be repeating/sharing any of the two hotspots, whatever is available at the time. The idea being, I want the 'clients' at home to only know about one WiFi - the OpenWrt and I want it to feed whatever 'underlying' wifi is available at the time - hotspot1 or hotspot2. In other words, I want to be able to turn off one of the hotspots and turn on the other and that should work seamlessly to the c…

Hi, just to check the progress cuz I am facing the same problem, have you solved this issue?

[lleachii]

@MakerX, welcome to the community!

You may wish to make a new thread in the future.

@MakerX

I am facing the same problem

To be clear:

• you're saying that you setup an upstream WiFi connection for Internet; and
• you also have an SSID for LAN
• furthermore, that your client connections on that SSID drops

If so, to solve you issue, let the Internet SSID connect first. Additionally, the upstream WiFi can NEVER loose connection!

Also, please see Post No. 16 for other links and information.

Hi, thanks for your reply, and I've created a thread here.
To reply to your description, my router does loss connection to upstream WiFi (WISP) completely, though "connected" but without Internet access. I often had to reboot the radio to reestablish the connection.
