IEEE 802.11: disconnected due to excessive missing ACKs

Gabyd10s · July 23, 2020, 4:00pm

Hi, I've a WE826-T2 4G Router with this configuration:
Architecture MediaTek MT7620A ver:2 eco:6
Firmware Version GoldenOrb_2020-03-01 ( OpenWrt 18.06.7 )
Kernel Version 4.14.167

After a few hours of using it or after one day I got this messages, and I lost my wifis connection.
Log:

Can you help me to understand what is the problem? Thanks.

hello try to force channel , and the 40mhz frequence of wifi , try another profil

essaie de forcer le choix du channel et aussi essai avec le 40mhz de wifi , tu as configurer quelque chose comme il ne faut pas

Gabyd10s · July 23, 2020, 4:36pm

Thanks for your response. I have forced in channel 8, and 20mhz, because with 20mhz works better than 40 mhz.

Gabyd10s · July 23, 2020, 4:43pm

Solution: /etc/config/wireless → @ config wifi-iface → add option disassoc_low_ack '0'

Sorry, but where I have to add this opttion? Really Thanks for the help.

Thanks, I unchecked the Disassociate On Low Acknoledgment that was checked.

I will test this. Thanks!

screenagers · October 24, 2020, 1:55pm

I'm facing this problem too on both my mt7620a. any solution?

lleachii · October 25, 2020, 3:39pm

Did you try the one the Original Posted noted?

Ramon · October 25, 2020, 3:50pm

There was a bug fixed (included in master/snapshot in September)
mac80211: fix regression in station connection monitor optimization

which may affect this.

Not sure if this is in latest stable though

screenagers · October 26, 2020, 2:53pm

yes yes. now my problem gone.

screenagers · October 27, 2020, 12:54pm

unfortunately no. doesn't solve my problem. how sad. this bug reported since 2016 if I remember. I have two devices using same chipset. both have same bug. here my log.

The disconnected due to excessive missing ACKs is something different than "did not acknowledge authencication response". The former is that the STA does not send ACK frames and hence the AP thinks the client is gone. The latter looks like either the AP or the STA is not configured right, or not supporting the same things. Are you by any chance using WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode? Avoid that, because not all clients may tolerate this.

thank you sir for the replay. I don't use any encryption on my WiFi.
