Issue with Amazon Cloudcam

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,

Router : LinkSys WRT1900ACS v2
Firmware : 18.06.1 with default settings for most.

I have recently bought a Amazon cloud cam security camera. I have setup 2.4 and 5GHz wifi. I couldn't connect the camera to this ( 2.4 GHz,as camera supports only this ) 2.4GHz wifi. But the camera can connect to the same router with stock firmware. . All my other devices can connect to this wifi ( 2.4Ghz ) correctly. Issue is only with this cloudcam.

Note: I had the same issue with DD-WRT firmware. I switched over to OpenWRT assuming that OpenWRT will solve the issue. But so far same issue.

Any help is appreciated.

This could be an issue with the wifi drivers, see https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues/278 for example.

Thanks. I went through the long thread. Couldn't find a solution for my problem, probably I missed as the thread is long. Can anyone please help?. Will re-installing the drivers solve the problem?

No: if your security cam is one of the affected devices, there is still no solution.

OK. Thanks. Looks like I have to switch back to stock firmware till the issue get resolved

Looks like this is still a problem. :frowning:
I'm thinking keep my old wifi router for just the webcam, I didn't really want two Wi-Fi routers in my house, but maybe I can find an advantage...

Yes, the issue is still open.

This is an issue specifically with the mwlwifi drivers right? So, perhaps an $18 GL-inet AR-300M-lite would be in order here to provide a 2.4GHz access point that uses a different driver :wink:
