I checked my system logs and didn't see anything around:
IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEA
UTH/REMOVE)
or
IEEE 802.11: disconnected due to excessive missing ACKs
I think that matches the issue you describe in your post:
There is a third issue with Android that I have experienced where all the issues above are resolved with the work-arounds as noted I still experience an issue where I cannot access the Internet. Android says I am connected. OpenWRT log says I am connected but I cannot access any site on the Internet. If I leave it alone it will resolve itself after some minutes. I am impatient so I turn off then on the Android wireless and all is good (reestablish the connection). I also have hostapd loglevel set to 1 and I do not see anything in the log either.
I'll SSH into my router and do a logread as soon as it happens next time.
Edit 2 - Happened again this morning. Here's a copy of the syslog during the time of the event. Nothing really jumps out at me aside from the pattern of connect/disconnect er, actually, I do see deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) in there:

Edit: In other news, AdguardHome fixed their OpenWrt detection based on the bug I filed with them. I tested the latest edge release, and the service installation/reboot worked like a charm.
Aside from the Wifi issues, the only other issue I've seen is that my WRT3200ACM doesn't pick up the switch that's attached to it when it reboots. It picked up my laptop connected via ethernet just fine, but the port the switch is attached to doesn't "light up" until I unplug and replug the ethernet cable again. Not sure what's up there.
Same wifi cutout issues on my WRT3200ACM, even with the older firmware - phone will be connected, but can't access any websites, nor load 192.168.1.1. Turning wifi off/on again on phone fixes the issue.
Sometimes the logs show deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE), sometimes they don't.
Going to reboot back into my previous image/partition that's running the newest firmware, since running the old seems to have done nothing.
@RuralRoots what's your question? Looks like a normal flashing screen, asking to keep settings and checking your choices re: backups.
If you're jumping from a significantly older image, it's recommended to not keep settings/restore things from backup and thus to setup from scratch. Especially with the DSA switch architecture change, older config is incompatible with newer software.
after upgrade (keeping settings) I have to install dnscryptproxy2 and ddns-scripts and
turn off some start up services on my dumb ap.
After upgrade I will not get any internet connection because dnscryptproxy2 is not installed, so have to go in the dhcp config and 'disable' stuff to get on the internet.
Would it be a easy solution to script this process?
Don’t know what to say about that. I have never seen anything but option 1 - “Keep Settings” on any build I’ve flashed in the 16 months I’ve been using Openwrt (davidc502, my own based on David’s seed following his last, and Divested since it’s inception). Options 2 and 3 I have never seen before today flashing a new build. In fact I ran r17343 yesterday, and got only option 1 on the flash.
I did another build today because I forgot to place a new custom hotplug script in my buildroot files dir (clean, pull, update feeds, download, make - same .config) so it was a surprise.
Just for giggles, I flashed r17343 to alternate partition - NO option 2 or 3????
If you are selecting dnscrypt-proxy2 and ddns-scripts in make nconfig You shouldn’t need to re-install the package. Your dnscrypt-proxy.toml config file should get picked up by sysupgrade backup
Just a thought if you came from David’s build, does your config for dnscrypt-proxy.toml reside in /etc or /etc/config
Without alluding to the foregoing, I like it and I find it useful.
The installed_packages.txt defining packages already part of the new build in /rom is helpful. A quick script quickly shows what additional packages I forgot to add to my newest build or conversely when I decide to remove it.
Set up a uci script to update what you need in /etc/config/dhcp to enable internet, opkg update ; opkg install dnscrypt-proxy2, and then revert back to your original /etc/config/dhcp.
