Disassociated due to inactivity - tv and alexa

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I´m having some trouble with desassociation, at first I thought that was the roaming wifi so I created an specific wifi ap for the tv, but it keeps disassociating after some time in the TV

[daemon.info](https://daemon.info) hostapd: wlan0: STA ** (MAC Addr) ** IEEE 802.11: disassociated due to inactivity

[daemon.info](https://daemon.info) hostapd: wlan0: STA ** (MAC Addr) ** IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)

  • Device name?
  • Configs?
  • OpenWrt version?

(I see you updated your post.)

  1. Which SSID is experiencing the issue?
  1. Are these 2 SSIDs enabled at the same time?

Hello Lleachii,

I experienced this behaviour on all configs,

Yes, Puccii are both enabled at the same time, bc they are 1 for 2.4 and 1 for 5ghz. So both are enabled at the same time.

But on Puccii there is roaming, so I created TV_2 and TV_5 (also split 2.4 and 5ghz) and did not enabled roaming and the issue still occurs

Have you tried the more up-to-date and secure psk2+ccmp (WPA2) instead of mixing insecure WPA?

Is there a reason you're using known-vunerable WPA (and TKIP)?

Yes i have tried more secure wpa, but some old cell phones (like the one from my maid's cell phone) does not work well with this config.

Have you tried setting disassoc_low_ack to 0 as specified at https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#inactivity_timeout_options? I used to have a Samsung TV which was very temperamental and it kept disconnecting all the time (probably crap hardware, it lost packets all the time) and that fixed it for me.
