I just tried it again. I can live without MLO support, just wanna get it up and working :confused:

From a fresh reinstall:

I join an existing network on radio0 (radio1 wasn’t showing 5GHz networks for some reason), installed two travelmate packages, enabled travelmate, clicked the Interface wizard, typed in the values and hit Save, Save and Reboot and then one last router reboot.

Everything below was blank (I manually placed WWAN interface and the three radios and under Additional settings I put “lan” as the LAN interface because that was empty too (still won’t scan anything):

Edit: Oh and logview now only says:

[01/25/2026-14:48:01] trm-2.3.0-r1[3700]: travelmate service autostart is disabled
[01/25/2026-14:48:23] trm-2.3.0-r1[4042]: travelmate service autostart is disabled

Edit 2: Google Gemini told me to try:

# 1. Set the internal config to 'enabled'
uci set travelmate.global.trm_enabled='1'
# 2. Tell the system to start it on boot
/etc/init.d/travelmate enable
# 3. Start it right now /etc/init.d/travelmate restart

which populated the Information table, it was working for a couple seconds but now says running, but not connected:

Still nothing on the scans…

Maybe it's better start with the readme than aksing the AI:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/travelmate/files#installation-and-usage

Split the radios (for AP and STA) and enbale the service (/etc/init.d/travelmate enable).

999

The service is enabled… I just did another clean install, pasted that line into putty, I even attached the screenshot where it says running but not connected.

The readme was fine until the “Scan for networks”. Nothing on all three radios. And the readme mentions nothing about assigning wwan/lan interfaces (idk if it’s needed) but I’ll assume it is.

I can follow instructions, I’m not a complete retard. Things just don’t work as they should (or are not described well enough for a noob like me to understand).

No matter what I do, the scans are coming up empty on all three radios (but work fine under Network→Wireless).

The Status/Versuion keeps changing between running, not connected (frontend: 2.3.0-r2 / backend: 2.3.0-r1) and connected, net ok/100 (frontend: 2.3.0-r2 / backend: 2.3.0-r1)

The Wireless Stations shows the one 5Ghz radio1 connection I originally used to get internet in order to install the travelmate packages. When the thing is connected, it shows in blue, otherwise it’s shown in white.

But it always shows as Enabled: No. Clicking the edit button shows me a red box arround the SSID field under “Travelmate Settings” (I can’t type anything).

Edit: And Log View now only says:

[01/25/2026-16:47:25] trm-2.3.0-r1[2177]: get ntp time sync
[01/25/2026-16:47:29] trm-2.3.0-r1[3496]: travelmate instance started ::: action: start, pid: 3496

Edit: Apparently there is a (somewhat) known bug several people reported about AP+STA modes in 25.12. Could that be a reason why I’m getting what I’m getting?

Did another fresh install. Barebones as it can be, only joined my home wifi to get internet for Travelmate installation and enabled/set up the three aps with country code and proper bands. I’d also like to note I couldn’t enable Travelmate through LuCi/Travelmate gui, had to ssh in and type /etc/init.d/travelmate enablein order to populate the Travelmate Information screen.

Also my client wifi is now gone from the Wireless Stations screen:

Used to be listed there but said Enabled: No and I couldn’t save any changes via the Edit button because of the reason I mentioned above (red box around SSID field under Travelmate Settings).

Now it’s just… gone? Also, still nothing on scan across all three radios in Travelmate (works fine and finds networks under LuCi Network → Wireless.

Also, I noticed that my client connection to my home wifi now seemingly randomly goes to disabled:

For further testing please - as already suggested - split AP/STA, don't use both on the same radio. For instance remove the AP from radio0, limit travelmate to radio0 and try scanning. Also provide the output of iw dev after this change.

1003

Ahh, I didn’t connect the dots :smiley: This worked. Removed the ap from radio0 and now it scans fine on radio0 (left all three radios in Travelmate, not sure if I’m supposed to leave the ones I want as uplinks or clients; I can play with that later, gotta go get ready for work now).

Also removed radio1 ap because I want that as the uplink but it won’t scan for 5GHz.

I still have:

config wifi-device 'radio1'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'soc/11300000.pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/0000:01:00.0'
        option radio '1'
        option band '5g'
        option channel '36'
        option htmode 'HE160'
        option country 'HR'
        option cell_density '0'

in my /etc/config/wireless so not sure what’s up with that :frowning:

Here’s the output of iw dev (radio1 not visible since i removed both the client and ap networks):

                Radios: 2

Radio1 won’t scan by default for 5Ghz for some reason (in Network–>Wirelesss). I have to make an ap first on 5GHz, then it scans for 5GHz. Before that only 2.4GHz networks show up.

So I tried making a temp 5GHz ap, scanning for 5GHz, joining my 5GHz network as client, removed the ap, then tried scanning in Travelmate on radio1. Nothing :frowning:

But it works with radio0 uplink and radio2 ap. I get internet on the 6GHz network.

Now I just gotta figure out how to get the radio1 to scan for 5GHz so I can use that as the uplink.

Hi,
I have a problem with travelmate probably since Openwrt 25.12 (not sure, I upgraded recently from 24.10).
When I scan the Wifi, the SSID are not good, there are sometime SAE prefixed (on encryption : mixed WPA2/WPA3 PSK, SAE (CCMP) ), or OWE suffixed (on open Wifi… It was a hotel captive portal, no encryption).

Hopefully I can edit the SSID when creating the travelmate wifi entry, but once created I can no more edit, except via SSH.
here are scan of the scan via travelmate and via network/wireless

Thanks for the report. Which encryption mappings are currently incorrect (in your experience)?
Edit: Not reproducible. Please provide the content of /var/run/travelmate.scan after a travelmate scan ... unmodified please (maybe per PM).

1006

Any idea why scanning on radio1 comes up empty?

radio0 scan in both Network→Wireless and Travelmate finds 5GHz networks (I was under the impression it should only be finding 2.4GHz networks?)

I tried joining my 5GHz network anyway but Travelmate log says:

[02/08/2026-10:54:41] trm-2.3.0-r1[30254]: can't connect to uplink 'radio0/MyWiFi5GHz/-' (1/3)

[02/08/2026-10:56:10] trm-2.3.0-r1[2118]: travelmate instance started ::: action: start, pid: 2118

which is to be expected I guess because it’s a 2.4GHz radio. Doesn’t work in Network–>Wireless either if I join a 5Ghz network on radio0.

I also tried making a temporary 5GHz AP in Network→Wireless then scanning and only then it shows 5GHz networks and I tried joining as client and assigning it the trm_wan interface but it just says Enabled: No in Travelmate.

And no matter what I do, the scan on radio1 in Travelmate comes up with “Empty resultset” (even when it works in Network→Wireless and I join the network as a client (tried both wan and trm_wan interfaces).

Edit: Running 25.12-rc4 now. Same behaviour as on rc3.
