I am seeing the following message within the System Log for my GL.iNet MT 6000 router running 24.10.4 . The messages come in bursts every few hours for about a minute. What does it mean? Is there an issue with drivers as Internet searches suggest?
daemon.err hostapd: IEEE 802.11: Failed to send Action frame

Set 5ghz channel to automatic too
Disable offloads gradually in firewall (and wait 2x time it takes for failed action frame (aka management frame))
Try separate access points for wpa3 and wpa2, identical in both bands. (wait 2x ....)
Beside mixed mode nothing out of ordinary in your setup
I believe the 5GHz channel being set to 36 is because one of the wireless 5GHz access points is WDS. Do you agree?
I don’t understand the meaning of “Disable offloads gradually in firewall. . . .” Please elaborate.
Yep, WDS is on, still rest applies.
What does “disable offloads gradually in firewall mean”?
If creating separate access points for SPA3 and WPA2, can the names of those access points be the same. I suspect not, but asking to be sure. What does “wait 2x. . . .) mean in this case.
You can have 15 access points per radio, all with same name if you want....
Find the place where you enabled firewall offloads and disable them.
