Mesh and AP on the same radio stopped working on 24.10.0

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi there,

After upgrading my three Xiaomi 4a gigabit edition v1 to Openwrt 24.10.0 (did not keep settings, reconfigured everything from sratch), I can no longer use both a 802.11s mesh and an standard access point on the same radio. It's either one or the other, when trying to configure them together they simply won't spin up.

But this works correctly on Openwrt 23.05.5.

I already opened a bug report about this, but is there anything I can try to help diagnose/fix the issue? Thanks and have a nice day.

Personally, I have been testing mesh for numerous architectures on both OpenWrt 24.10.0 and Development snapshots and not encountered any problems.
A few of these tests have been on Mediatek MT7621 SoC devices, but not on a Xiaomi 4a gigabit edition v1.

I think it is most likely that the problem you have is either your configuration or something specific to your Xiaomi.

Please show the information requested by @brada4
In addition, please also show the output of:
iw list | grep -A 4 "valid interface combinations"
Edit: already been requested

does rc7 work?

Hello guys,

I could not attach the log as log.txt so here it is in full, I've added logread as well.

@bluewavenet v24 is working normally for you with mesh and ap on the same radio?

@hecatae I did not try in any rc versions since I was waiting for the official release, will try on RC7 and ping back. (EDIT) Tried on RC7, did not work.

@fernandodiacenco 24.10.0-rc are working fine for me on 2 Belkin rt1800 and 3 Zyxel wsm20.

24.10 is not official yet.

Did you keep a list of the installed 23.05 packages.

7

wpad-basic does not support any kind of mesh

You need to remove it and replace with wpad-mesh-mbedtls or wpad-mbedtls.

8

Ok guys I have an answer.

Intrigued by @hecatae post I decided to try RC1 version for My Xiaomi, and to my surprise it worked.

So I resorted to try EVERY v24 version available to my device.

image
image100×184 11.3 KB

image
image798×273 4.03 KB

The result is:

RC1 - Working
RC2 - Working
RC3 - Working
RC4 - Working
RC5 - Working
RC6 - Not Working
RC7 - Not Working
24.10.0 - Not Working

So something changed from RC5 to RC6 onwards

@brada4 I also tried your suggestion and removed wpad-basic-mbedtls on RC7 and installed wpad-basic, but the same problem occurs so it can't be wpad.

So for now I will be using RC5.

I have now installed 24.10.0 on a GL-MT1300, the closest I have to your Xiaomi 4a gigabit edition v1. Both are mt7621 based.

It works perfectly. Here is the iwinfo output showing my complex set of mesh and multiple AP ssids:

@bluewavenet Oh I actually wrote wrong, I installed wpad to test, not wpad-basic, in my hurry I typed incorrectly, the command was: opkg update && opkg remove wpad-basic-mbedtls && opkg install wpad

But just to make super sure I reflashed yet again v24.10.0 and installed wpad (full) and the same issue persist

(I assume that wpad contains the full package correct?)

OpenWrt 24.10.0, r28427-6df0e3d02a
root@Wifi-Escritorio:~# opkg list-installed | grep wpad
wpad - 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r2

@hecatae, my mesh has no complex config, its just a 802.11s mesh without password and an access point on the same radio, here are the iwinfo's

With both:

Yet the same config works on v23 and v24 up to RC5.

Here is the logread after a restart with both set up on 24.10.0, not sure if it helps.
(had to remove some starting lines because the reply hit character limit)

This is STILL incorrect. READ CAREFULLY

PLEASE install wpad-mbedtls

Blue, I did all the versions, did not work on versions higher than RC5

Anyway I got more clues, I got RC5 and generate packages with all wpads mbedtls I can get

The result is:

wpad               - 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r2 not working
wpad-mbedtls       - 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r2 not working
wpad-mesh-mbedtls  - 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r2 not working
wpad-basic-mbedtls - 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r2 not working
wpad-basic-mbedtls - 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r1 works!

The difference is that 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r1 is the default on the image download, whereas 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r2 appears when you try for a custom version on the firmware download page.

I suspect of a problem in r2 vs r1.

Is there a way I can generate a package with wpad R1 versions on Openwrt 24 to test?

One more report of the same issue on github

If I could get my hands on wpad - 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r1.apk for the Xiaomi I can test it on 24.10 and perhaps on RC6 and 7 as well, but so far my google-fu is failing me. I strongly suspect that installing r1 would fix it.

I don't see this problem with the gl-mt6000..

You do know you cannot install an apk on 24.10.0?

FYI, on my working system (GL-MT1300, the closest I have to your Xiaomi 4a gigabit edition v1. Both are mt7621 based.):

Is there a reason you post a screenshot and not even provide the link? Please try to directly point to your sources. Thx.

You do know you cannot install an apk on 24.10.0?

Oh I did not know that, so even if I found the file it would be futile then. Do you know of a way to install the specific wpad 2024.09.15~5ace39b0-r1 versions on v24? Opkg install and the firmware selector always brings the r2 versions.

20

The r2 version is the only one available and it works.
You must have some other problem.
Perhaps your particular device version of 24.10.0 has an issue with duplicate mac addresses - a problem that can prevent mesh interfaces from coming up.
This can happen when the vendor does not allocate mac addresses for all phy.

For this reason the mesh11sd package checks and fixes mac addresses with locally administered versions if needed - you are not using this as far as I can see. With your current config DO NOT install it, at least not yet as you will make things worse.

Please show what you currently have for the output of:
ip link
