Unstable WIFI 2GHz and 5GHz in WRT32X(WRT3200ACM)9

For Developers

Hello.
I have a WRT3200ACM router converted to WRT32X. And I have an orbit with WiFi. I get this error. The problem certainly appears on the HUAWEI P20Lite.

Fri Dec 13 06:48:08 2019 kern.warn kernel: [199215.105434] Rekeying PTK for STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:50 but driver can't safely do that.

It doesn't matter if it's 2GHz or 5GHz. After which there is no Internet.
Wifi configuration below:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option hwmode '11a'
	option path 'soc/soc:pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0'
	option htmode 'VHT80'
	option channel '44'
	option country 'FR'
	option txpower '23'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
	option device 'radio0'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'APN50-2'
	option macaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
	option disassoc_low_ack '0'
	option wpa_group_rekey '600'
	option max_inactivity '300'
	option max_listen_interval '65535'
	option dtim_period '2'
	option skip_inactivity_poll '1'
	option encryption 'wpa2'
	option auth_server '10.0.0.1'
	option auth_secret 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
	option network 'lan'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option hwmode '11g'
	option path 'soc/soc:pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0'
	option channel '13'
	option htmode 'HT40'
	option country 'FR'
	option noscan '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
	option device 'radio1'
	option macaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'APN24-1'
	option network 'lan'
	option encryption 'wpa2'
	option auth_server '10.0.0.1'
	option auth_secret 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
	option dtim_period '2'
	option wpa_group_rekey '600'
	option skip_inactivity_poll '1'
	option max_inactivity '300'
	option max_listen_interval '65535'
	option disassoc_low_ack '0'

I'm using a radius server.
Please help.
I forgot. The 2GHz network shows the level received from the client, but 5GHz is not all the time 0dbm.

Judging from other, similar, threads about rekeying issues, this seems to be a known problem with mwlwifi and is sadly rather unlikely to be fixed (as Marvell sold their wifi department).
