MERCUSYS MR70X v1 - Wireless device disables

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi there!

I have a MERCUSYS MR70X v1 that was working just fine. Yesterday i upgraded to the latest stable firmware with a full wipe (Did not keep any settings)

When setting up Wireless with names, security etc, one of the radios just disables. Its sometimes 2Ghz or 5Ghz...

Now, if i DO NOT change the names, and leave both as OpenWRT and just add security both radios works just fine. It is just as soon as i change the name. I have not been able to pin point the issue here. Its just so random. Thank for the help!

Now, that's a lie...

Btw, sae-mixed is usually a no go.

  • Also, I assume you live in a country that allows use of Channel 14?
  • That said, you have no country set

?

Edit:

I don't believe this is allowed on Channel 14 anywhere.

The initial setup was done via Luci...
Just changed the channel and all is well... But on an initial setup just renaming did disabled a wifi band. Thank you everyone! <3

Renaming wouldn't set those parameters, you claim you never touched.
