GL iNet AR750 5GHz radio0 not working (with/without travelmate)

I doubt it has to do with travelmate now. I tried flashing openwrt-19.07.4-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar750-squashfs-sysupgrade without keeping my settings, all combinations of ath10k-firmware-qca9887 + kmod-ath10k-ct, ath10k-firmware-qca9887-ct + kmod-ath10k-ct (default), ath10k-firmware-qca9887 + kmod-ath100k, ath10k-firmware-qca9887 + kmod-ath100k-ct, 40/80 as above, N/AC, setting the country to mine / US / default, removing kmod-ath9-ct. None of these work. I might have some wrong settings somewhere even with a new firmware. I don't know what to try. I will post it in my main thread.

Where can I get more logs to debug this?

What can I post to get help here? Where can I look?

Is your upstream device set to channel 36?

Yes. Connecting to the upstream is not a problem.

433.3 Mbit/s, 80 MHz, VHT-MCS 9, VHT-NSS 1, Short GI
433.3 Mbit/s, 80 MHz, VHT-MCS 9, VHT-NSS 1, Short GI

It shows as connected under Associated Stations. The connection does not work however: my computer cannot connect to the Internet and pinging 1.1.1.1 from ssh gives

64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: seq=151 ttl=55 time=1044.834 ms

The upstream is fast and connecting my devices to it directly gives nothing like this.
I'm using vanilla 19.07.4 now

  • You don't have an ALLOW Forwarding rule to permit traffic from LAN to the WAN Firewall Zone.
  • In addition, you only permit forwarding from LAN to a Zone called vpn - but the related network interface is nonexistent. You may want to fix that too.

Thank you @lleachii for your reply. The reason for not allowing forwarding from LAN to WAN is here and for the vpn zone here for the kill switch.
I flashed again the firmware without keeping any setting and it worked. Installing travelmate was the problem with the previous configuration.

I honestly have no clue if you're telling me something; or explaining why [you now understand how] it was broken.

Glad you got it working [without Travelmate].

You don't explain why you're installing Travelmate, so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to consider here.

For reference the configs network and firewall. Internet works when the radio0 is connected, this is not a problem of firewall or interfaces

I'm installing travelmate so that the router connects to wifis without having to restart it.

I have some logs and stacktraces now:

My setup is simple.

  1. Openwrt 19.07.4 flashed without keeping settings
  2. Install openvpn and travelmate
  3. Configure travelmate to have 1 radio0 uplink and only look at radio0 (do not use radio1)

I can get the list of packages if it's useful, but this installation is default

What happens is:

  1. My gl inet connects to the router in radio0 for a few seconds
  2. The connection drops, it restarts

I am happy to help by building with code changes and flashing it again. If it is a bug I can help fix it and push some code to do it so I can start developing on openwrt. Please help me.

???

I guess i'm lost at why a stationary device is needs to randomly connect to multiple APs...hopefully someone else can assist.

Maybe I should note if I have not already - that the client connection must be established before the AP will come online. Further, you cannot forward traffic to an interface (i.e. vpn) that does not exist.

???

:open_mouth:

OK...well...I hope you get it working! :smiley:

I've never seen anyone have success forwarding traffic from LAN, to a VPN that doesn't exist. Maybe I'm misreading your configs.

:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Sorry @lleachii I'm not good at this so this is what I understand.

I use travelmate so that when I travel or turn off/on different routers it connects to the closest/highest (in priority) one. If I don't use travelmate every time I move to another room I have to reboot my gl inet. If it's not the case, apologies.

For forwarding to vpn: I ran the commands in https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/extras#kill_switch after installing openvpn and openvpn luci. Is this a mistake?

I apologize if you see my replies as stupid. I don't know much about this. I will learn and be more helpful when posting. Please advise how I can give you more details to help me. Thank you.

  • Do you actually have a VPN?
  • If so, where are those (network) configs?

:bulb: I hope you're understanding that there's no VPN network config; but yet you keep mentioning a VPN. Your LAN traffic will fail since you only allow FORWARD of traffic to a nonexistent interface. I would advise fixing this first - then proceed to verify Travelmate is working.

Hummm...interesting use case. I don't really understand the point; but I get why Travelmate would work for it.

/etc/init.d/openvpn restart
fi
done

In Network -> Interfaces there is no vpn interface. I will try reset the router again and install travelmate without openvpn. The way I understood this was gl inet can connect to the uplink itself, but my computer connecting to gl inet cannot connect to the internet unless that vpn connection is established. What is travelmate used for if not this?

I disabled openvpn and added the forwarding rule lan->wan.
I still see these logs

I will flash the firmware again now.

Re flashed. I did not keep any setting.

No travelmate and no openvpn.

Wireless: connected to radio0 uplink and enabled "OpenWrt" open wifi connection.

The router pings slowly

64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: seq=3 ttl=53 time=28.377 ms
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: seq=4 ttl=53 time=28.043 ms

64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: seq=37 ttl=53 time=45.803 ms

The router cannot download packages

Failed to send request: Operation not permitted
Collected errors:
 * opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.4/targets/ar71xx/generic/packages/Packages.gz, wget returned 4.
 * opkg_download: Check your network settings and connectivity.

My computer cannot connect to the internet with this connection. This is all stock now. Can it be radio0 not working? Firmware or driver issue?

Correct, that's the problem.

Doesn't matter if you changed the routes, though.

Wait...your router's crashing!?!?

It's quite difficult when you followed one step, then erased everything.

Wait...your router's crashing!?!?

Yes. This is why I was talking about building it myself to help debug it. I don't know why it is happening. That is the stacktrace I see in the system log.

It's quite difficult when you followed one step, then erased everything.

You are right. I wanted to see if openwrt "as is" (no openvpn no travelmate) would help. It didn't and the connection problems still exist.

I can go back to the state with openvpn and travelmate, the problems occur all the time. Please advise how to proceed, I don't know how to debug this myself and I want to keep using openwrt.

I tried the following steps with both 19.07.3 and 19.07.4

  1. Connect ethernet cable
  2. Flash openwrt, do not keep any setting
  3. radio0 scan, find uplink router, input password and lock to ssid
  4. radio0 enable password-less openwrt wifi station
  5. Disconnect ethernet cable
  6. Connect my computer to openwrt station
  7. Verify under "Associated Stations" both router (client) and openwrt (master) are up, both on channel 36, my router on channel 36 too

Behavior of my gl inet:

  1. ping 1.1.1.1 takes ages (as above)
  2. my computer cannot connect to the Internet

I did not use any travelmate or openvpn, stock openwrt

What could it be? how do I find the fix here?

Does the subnet of the OpenWrt LAN and the upstream WiFi LAN match?

If so, one of the networks have to be renumbered.

If so, one of the networks have to be renumbered.

You're correct. This was the problem. With 19.07.3 now it works. Same steps with 19.07.4 it does not. I did not install travelmate anymore. Openvpn works. Mark as solution, I don't know why 19.07.4 does not work here.
