Users disassociate from the AP randomly

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hi all, this is a problem that I didn´t have yesterday, I don't know if its an update or something else.
Yesterday I connected 2 more devices to my AP, now the AP has 7 users.
After like 15 min or sometime more, the devices disconect randomly, and the AP doesnt show again ( It doesn't show in the phone)
Here is the log:

config wifi-device 'radio0'

After every 5-7 days uptime openwrt 19.07.4 dissociates clients

3

mine disconnects after 20 min more or less every time, I tried the solution above but didn't resolve the problem

What may help in tracking down the problem for you is knowing what hardware this is happening on - i.e, the router and also "the phone"

What did you try from "the solution above"? - the solution mentions wpa_group_rekey - which seems to be totally absent from your configuration

I tried adding option wpa_group_rekey '0' and option wpa_group_rekey '3600' to:

config wifi-iface 'wifinet0'
	option device 'radio0'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'DIGI-RP1'
	option encryption 'psk2'
	option skip_inactivity_poll '1'
	option disassoc_low_ack '0'
	option key '*****'
	option network 'GUEST'
        option wpa_group_rekey '3600'

Right

so, do you know what your router hardware is? and what "phone" is having the issue?

I have Raspberry Pi 4 rev 1.4 with OpenWrt 21.02.0 r16279-5cc0535800, the issue is that all devices connected to the AP disconnects and then you can not connet again, the AP seems to crash, if you reboot the interface or the PI they can connect again

Now I rebooted and waited to see if the devices disconnects, this is the log:

You mentioned a phone - what is the phone?

I ask, because I know that some iphones cause weird wifi issues with other hardware (latter Linksys WRT routers for example)

On a personal note: I'd never use the Pi on board wifi as an access point anyway - while it can works as an AP, it was primarily designed to be a client
