Hi! I am trying to set up a TP-Link EAP245 v3 as a dumb-ap unsuccessfully.
I tested Openwrt
- stable 21.02.3
- OpenWrt 22.03.0-rc6 from 13ago2022
I already have a working TP-Link EAP225-wall v2 just working fine on the same network and have followed all steps from the Openwrt Wiki dumb-ap guide without any success.
I have a managed switch (Zyxel GS1900-8HP with Zyxel stock firmware) but have not configured any VLAN.
I will start by the configuration, and then with the log wich is showing an issue with Atheros going up and down constantly.
The configuration
/etc/rc.local
# these services do not run on dumb APs
for i in firewall dnsmasq odhcpd; do
if /etc/init.d/"$i" enabled; then
/etc/init.d/"$i" disable
/etc/init.d/"$i" stop
fi
done
if test -f /etc/config/firewall; then mv /etc/config/firewall /etc/config/firewall.unused; fi
exit 0

And the system log which shows the issue of the port loop going up and down "Atheros AR8216/AR8236/AR8316 mdio.0:00: Port 2 is up". I had reduced the size of the log by removing a long extension of such loop and had to remove more content due to I exceed the post size:

And the kernel log is almost the same issue abouth Atheros going up and down. I didn't include it here because it exceds the post size.
