Plusnet hub one repeater setup

[anon79750093]

I didn’t get a config then but I did have it set to channel 100 80MHz

@anon79750093

had it on 100 and it had an issue, see first post

@anon79750093

I didn’t get a config then

Can you explain what we're supposed to see in Post No. 1 then?

Lastly, I suggest testing 20 MHz first, since you have an issue selecting a good 80 MHz channel.

The DFS error I am having with every channel

Or did I just not wait long enough for the radar scan

[lleachii]

@anon79750093

DFS error I am having with every channel

So now, I understand you're having an issue on every channel. Thank you for finally explaining your DFS issue.

@lleachii

How did this 20 MHz test work?

@anon79750093

Or did I just not wait long enough for the radar scan

Wouldn't know, scans can take a few minutes in some nations, I'm not sure about the UK. How long did you wait before changing channels, making posts, etc. (i.e. I can't guess how long you waited)?

Honestly, we haven't yet seen proof you've actually configured a correct channel/bandwidth combination.

---

Now, let me speculate - I surmise this endeavor is about some repeater/relayd bandwidth matter. Even though folks have given you sound information in other threads, I'm guessing this is another attempt to have us circuitously work on it anyway. I hope that's not the case.

@anon79750093

we get constant planes over here
main flight path for the airport about 10 miles as the crow files

@anon79750093

we have been over this before
DFS is the only way to get speed

I wanna provide a reference and ask you a serious question before we take more time:

Turning off Radar Detection on DFS channels?

and the DFS documents reference specific requirements for anything within 35km (21 miles) of Doppler Radar (TDWR) locations. Radar systems protected by the DFS standard come in many forms, including radar on boats, radars for TV weather stations, and military radars. ~ From: https://www.networkcomputing.com/wireless-infrastructure/dynamic-frequency-selection-why-its-critical-80211ac My answer is yes.

• Maybe you weren't aware - but DFS has to protect for 21 miles
• You admitted planes constantly fly over you - meaning 0 miles

Can you clearly explain why you think DFS channels would work for you, and how?

[anon79750093]

@lleachii

So now, I understand you're having an issue on every channel. Thank you for finally explaining your DFS issue.

I thought that was clear

@lleachii

How did this 20 MHz test work?

I will do that now

@lleachii

Wouldn't know, scans can take a few minutes in some nations,

some are 1 minute, some are 5 minutes and some are 10 minutes here

I will send you prrof of channel 100 80MHz now

[anon79750093]

I will do 20Mhz actually to see if it works

[anon79750093]

config wifi-device 'radio2'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'platform/1f400000.fpi/1e101000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0'
        option channel '100'
        option band '5g'
        option htmode 'VHT20'
        option cell_density '0'
        option country 'GB'

[lleachii]

@anon79750093

I thought that was clear

@anon79750093

DFS not working on the usb adapter

Nope - and just to be clear, probably the adapter.

@anon79750093

I will do that now

@anon79750093

will do 20Mhz actually to see if it works

That's we can save more posts. Save the live of a few bytes.

@anon79750093

        option channel '100'
        option band '5g'
        option htmode 'VHT20'

Is it working?

before we take more time

I guess you don't respect other's time?

No worries - just wish you'd respond to the part about DFS not working for you on the adapter instead of pasting the same log sections.

@lleachii

How long did you wait before changing channels, making posts, etc. (i.e. I can't guess how long you waited)?

@anon79750093

60s

Guess nothing appears 60s later?

[anon79750093]

@lleachii

probably the adapter

it worked in version 19

@lleachii

Is it working?

so its not working

@lleachii

I have been told before

@lleachii

You admitted planes constantly fly over you - meaning 0 miles

yes, thats why tp-link no longer answer me
but surly the RE450 should have radar detection
to be honest after yesterday, thats broadcast incorrectly
channel 120 80MHz on the RE450

but how can I get my target speed on anything by not using DFS, there are to many nearby devices

everyone uses 80Mhz, even though I know there maximum speed is 80Mbps, because only a few houses have fibre, most are ADSL copper

@lleachii

I guess you don't respect other's time?

I try to

[anon79750093]

also just changed the RE450 to 36 for now and it was on 40MHz for some reason

[lleachii]

@lleachii

on the adapter

@anon79750093

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'pci0000:01/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:00.0'
        option channel '120'
        option band '5g'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option cell_density '0'
        option country 'GB'

Does DFS work on the internal device?

I won't get into the law - but lets try the internal device.

@anon79750093

it worked in version 19

I'm not 100% sure of that.

If you wanna revert to 19 and try yourself, OK. You've been warned.

(I made a note the law changed, but we did advise you upgrade, not knowing you wanted to break the law. I mentioned this in another thread.)

[anon79750093]

If I shouldn't be using DFS though

channel 36 80MHz is fine for speed actually
RE450 STA side of plusnet hub

[lleachii]

@anon79750093

channel 36 80MHz is fine for speed actually
RE450 STA side

I don't understand your statement, since channel is selected by the AP and not the STA.

Glad you realized channel 36 was a good selection for 80 MHz.

[anon79750093]

I made an edit

the RE450 is set to channel 36 80MHz which is the STA side of the Plusnet hub

The AP is set to channel 48 80MHz with mobile data speeds

[lleachii]

@anon79750093

Yes I understood it the first time. Again, STAs don't pick channels.

If I understand the RE450 is the STA, its channel config should be auto.

@anon79750093

The AP is set to channel 48 80MHz with mobile data speeds

Wow. SMH.

Are you just ignoring us or do you have another theory?

[anon79750093]

to be honest lets try auto, never used it for years

[lleachii]

You lost me again.

I guess you do have another theory. Please explain it to us.

Are you saying you've also been expecting the bandwidth setting to have a certain output?
