Wifi 2ghz disconnecting when downloading 2 big files

hello i recently bought a tl mr 3420 v5 installed last distro of open wrt, tought it was going to be super fine, i was wrong... do not want to downgrade by any way to wpa2... Wifi 2ghz disconnecting when downloading 2 big files

if i download 1 file it is ok, but if i download 2 files of 4gb it goes down ssid dissapears or does not connect, i have to restart the router manually on off... ... also it does happens when 2 or more clients uses the wifi actively...

any guesses or solutions? , thanks in forward

tried changing lot of configurations...

tried changing of channels
changing from n to legacy bgn mode
802.11w Management Frame Protection disabled, required , nothing worked
Enable key reinstallation (KRACK) countermeasures enabled, disabled , did nothing

any idea ??

waiting for some anwser.... heh

Waiting for useful information... heh.

@thejoke123 - please remember that users here are volunteers. Nobody is being paid to provide answers and it is unreasonable to expect immediate turnaround. If people happen to be interested in your specific issue and have ideas or things to contribute to help solve it, you'll hear from them in due time.

I will hazard a guess that this is a power issue. Try replacing your power adapter. That device ships with a 12V 1A adapter. Try another equivalent one, or even better one that has maybe a bit more capcity just in case the device actually draws ~12W (margin is always a good thing).
.
In the meantime, you can provide your config files, as well as more detail about the problem (for example, does ethernet stop working too, or is it only a wifi issue).

yes sir, agree totally with you,i am sorry, i do not know what to post, i am very newbie, barely made it flashing the router... and tought it was propper to write such comment as a bump, also i do not know how to interact in forums so i am sorry if you think i am arrogant or offending you, i did not meant that, sorry , however, i do not think it is a power issue because, i have reduce the dbm or wireles wattage to 0 , not even driver default

thankful for your time and boldness

This is not the only thing that can affect power usage. In fact, I would expect OpenVPN to have a very significant impact on the power draw of your device when you're transferring large amounts of data.

You have also added several other non-standard items (such as the https-dns-proxy, parted, bcp38), which may also contribute to the issues.

Start by disabling your OpenVPN connection and then running the same tests again... does it still disconnect? If so, you might want to start from a fresh, near-default configuration and run the test again.

i dont use openvpn since my router is very... not powerfull , also parted i used it to create overlay usb partition... only for that... https dns proxy i have it disabled since i was debugging other error, and also have DOH in all my devices, it is weird, lets see what happens now i performed factory reset

This famous problem has existed for several years. All mt7628 devices are affected.
