So I installed this on Nano, https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/mt7628/openwrt-ramips-mt7628-miwifi-nano-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
The problem that I encountered is intermittent failures to access the Internet. Say I use my Android 4.4.2 phone and connect (no security), then I open Chrome and surf any websites - no problem. But when I switch my phone back on after idle for say 30 mins and access a website, all I got was loading and loading...until I got "You're offline" message from Chrome. Sometimes I do get to load the site after 2 mins of waiting, sometimes I don't.
This happens occasionally on these phones.
Samsung Galaxy S5 - Android 4.4.2 (most frequent)
LG-G3 - Android 4.4.2 (most frequent)
iPhone 6s - iOS 11.4 (less frequent)
It never seems to happen on these.
Sony Experia - Android 4.4.3
iPad 2 - iOS 9.3.5
Asus Zenbook - Windows 10
WiFi settings.
Channel: 2 (not used by other WiFis)
Mode: N
Width: 20MHz
Transit Power: Auto
Anyone has any ideas what's causing this issue?
Anything useful in the logfiles?
Oh course. Forgot that.. willcheck
To log, are you referring to using logd, https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/log.essentials
root@OpenWrt:~# ps | grep log
418 root 892 S /sbin/askfirst /usr/libexec/login.sh
4570 root 1168 S /sbin/logd -S 16
4571 root 1336 S /sbin/logread -f -F /tmp/system.log -p /var/run/logread.1.pid -S 16
5745 root 1176 S grep log
If so, my log config (etc/config/system) is as below. But I can't seem to get much info when my devices are not getting any webpages loaded.
config system
option hostname 'OpenWrt'
option ttylogin '0'
option zonename 'UTC'
option timezone 'GMT0'
option log_size '16'
option log_proto 'udp'
option log_file '/tmp/system.log'
option log_type 'file'
option conloglevel '8'
option cronloglevel '5'

Here's an update. Apparently, this problem also occurs on more devices that I first thought. Maybe because now I've used more of these devices now. Here's the update.

Sony Experia - Android 4.4.3 (maybe cos I hardly use this device)
