So the current build that needs testing is r21876? I can test it tonight I just need to wait til the house is asleep.
My PC is running Linux (Tumbleweed), and its my only OS, but I doubt that's sufficient experience to debug kernel issues. I'm not sure what debugging entails tbh, if it's similar to figuring out why something went wrong/reading logs/checking config files I can definitely do that.
However, if you need someone with experience programming in C and working with kernel modules I probably won't be of much help beyond swapping modules and running modinfo. I can run gcc and follow instructions to compile a program from source but the most advanced C program I can write just solves equations and calls printf.
About the 5GHz/2.4GHz:
I'm still on build r21530 and 5GHz works perfectly but 2.4GHz won't allow newer devices to connect. I'm fine with only 5GHz and only realized it was an issue because I was attempting to put install ubuntu server on an old laptop and that device could connect but a newer galaxy tablet could not connect (to 2.4GHz).
alright, i just "downgraded" to the R21865 build.
When using the sysupgrade with luci the downgrade only partially worked.
I still was not able to select channels and the 5GHz radio still didnt want to start.
also i noticed the device was running very hot.
after that i did a complete reinstall using recovery and factory build and now i have channels and 5GHz radio working. ill see how stable the build is and maybe try if i can make it join my mesh network.
Manually added the 2.6.0.1 firmware and build from source, same issue.
I've noticed that setting the distance/ack to 1 increase speed from 50Mbit to 120Mbit at 30dB
And setting it to 2000 with 10dB brings speed down to 20Mbit from 400Mbit, seems to have a big effect.
Also the closer the Slate is at 10dB the slower the speed. I've also noticed that the TX/RX rate keep jumping from 6Mbit to 916Mbit gradually in a loop at 30dB, while it loops between 514Mbit to 916Mbit at 10dB. Hopefully someone with a Xiaomi AX1800 can chime in since they use the same chip (?).
I'm testing right now, last snapshots (both r21876 and r21865), all seems work well, also wifi 5 and 2.4 ghz, my phone find them and connect without problems, for 5 ghz, I'm on driver power and channel 40, and connection is stable with 433 Mbit/s (it is 860Mbit/s with original gl inet firmware). but seems to be ok onto wifi, no connections lost for now. I'll stay on r21876 release!
I can now (after installed all dependiences!) confirm that usb wont works, no usb device is detected!. also for me for dlna and samba is important, so I'll wait for some news about!
thanks.
adding that seems electrical problem, no led on usb key/external HHD turns ON when plugged into.
Thank you for your proposals. I tried Firefox, Konqueror, Edge, I tried regular and private windows, LAN and WAN, 2.5GbE over USB or builtin Gbit port, several snapshots, shortened file names. I'm out of ideas what could be wrong.
r21876 runs great now. There is an issue with changed BSSID after every reboot. I lock all my WiFi connections to BSSID. Activated igmp snooping, forced igmp_v3 and mld v2 on br0. There were some backtraces but after a restart the router came up just fine. IPTV runs stutterfree on 5 GHz which never worked with GL-iNet 4.x firmware.
Now there are a bunch of messages:
Sun Apr 2 17:05:14 2023 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wan6_4' is now down
Sun Apr 2 17:05:14 2023 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wan6_4' is setting up now
New Build uploaded to webserver, I need Wireless SDCard and USB tested. Can you please also test to see if wifi down and wifi up commands cause a crash!!
