Hi,

I am experiencing WiFi drops. rebooting the router does the trick, until next time.
Below is the kernel log:

How to fix this?

Seems to be a known issue...

Hi!

This is a very dirty workaround but as even 18.06.0-rc2 has this problem, I have started to restart network only, which doesn't kill the uptime.

http:///cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/crontab

Textfield: 0 5,17 * * * /etc/init.d/network restart

At 0500 it's still time for the backup of my phone to GoogleDrive
At 1700 it's about an hour or two before I return home :wink:

Seems like this repo include fixed driver, discussion is here.

5

check if this patch make things any better https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1005952/

6

any news guys?

7

@psyborg I want to test the patch that you suggest, I have 2 Xiaomi Miwifi Mini devices with this problem too.

How is the correct way to implement the patch in my trunk build environment?
Should it work if I put the patch in the package/kernel/mac80211/patches/subsys folder?

Thanks

8

it should work

if the above patch doesn't help this one does for sure:https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10739037/

additionaly, remove patches:
701-rt2800-move-usb-specific-txdone-txstatus-routines-to.patch
702-rt2800mmio-use-txdone-txstatus-routines-from-lib.patch
703-rt2x00-do-not-check-for-txstatus-timeout-every-time-.patch
704-rt2x00-use-different-txstatus-timeouts-when-flushing.patch
705-rt2800-flush-and-txstatus-rework-for-rt2800mmio.patch
980-rt2x00-reduce-power-consumption-on-mt7620.patch

and add patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10743705/

to have both stable and fast wifi within normal range. mark thread solved

I an Asus RT-N56U wireless router (ramips target, rt3883 subtarget). When it had 18.06, the bug occurred very frequently. With the latest OpenWrt 18.06.2 r7676-cddd7b4c77 / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.020.41695-6f6641d) the bug almost went away - it is harder to trigger, but definitely not fixed. I'm not sure the issue only effects only the rt3883 subtarget, or the bug is still lurking in the rt2x00 driver affecting all ramips targets.

How could I help to fix the bug? I am able to trigger the bug quite regularly.

11

I am a bit confused regarding the info to remove patches (as proposed by @psyborg).

I cannot find them in the master or openwrt-18.06 branches. Are these referrring to a different openwrt source tree?

12

renamed for some reason to 002* - 006* in https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=tree;f=package/kernel/mac80211/patches/rt2x00

13

Update: I flashed my Asus RT-N56U to the latest OpenWrt 18.06.4 r7808-ef686b7292 / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.170.32094-4d6d8bc) and to my disappointment, the problem is still there. When that happens, the same error is logged: rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Dropping frame due to full tx queue 2

14

Please check master snapshots instead, that's where development (and potential improvement) happens, the openwrt-18.06 branch only gets (targetted) bugfixes (if identified and requested for backporting/ cherry-picking). The rt2x00 suite of drivers has seen some work on this particular issue in recent months, but given that these problems are longstanding, I wouldn't expect the world either - but it is worth testing.

First time user here. Same problem on my D-Link DIR-615 D4.
I just switched to openwrt because the stock firmware kept stopping passing traffic after a few hours.
OpenWrt is marginally better but still doesn't last more than 2 days before this problem shows up.
Even if it was fixed, I'm stuck with version 17.0.7 due to RAM/flash size.
I guess I'll put the D-Link in the bin now and go get a Cisco WAP 125 or something.

And old Honda advert comes to mind. It said something like "Isn't it great when things just ... work?!"

Just wanted to express my frustration :slight_smile:
Thanks for listening!

Update: OpenWRT 19.07.3 onwards do not have the problem.
