Hello
On my newly configured ex5601-t56 I'm facing issue with TV detecting it. When I turn on TV it will not automatically connect to it. After about 5 minutes and that also sometimes it will detect it and once it detect connection will be fine. It works all fine with ISP provided router with auto connecting when it is turned on. Below is wifi config
ssid and password is same for both bands, I've changed encryption to different for 2g band considering WPA3 might not be supported by TV.
Every other device is not having any issue with connecting. Only TV seems to have issue.
What could be wrong here?
Many streaming sticks / TVs do not support Protected Management Frames (a.k.a. PMF / 802.11w), which is required for WPA3. I suspect part of your issue is that you have the same SSID / WiFi password on both radios, while simultaneously having different encryption options for each.
I would guess that your TV is not PMF-capable, and is attempting to connect to the radio with WPA3. Have you looked at the logs to see what is there about the connection attempts?
Perhaps reconsider changing the SSID to something different on Radio0 and see if the TV connects.
I tried changing name of 2g ssid and there is little improvement that it connect but still after few minutes. In ISP router it connects immediately without much delay. Have configured WPA2 now.
Any further ideas?
Is the ISP router upstream of your OpenWrt router? If so, how are the two connected (i.e. lan-lan, or lan-wan)?
Probably worth taking a look at your complete config:
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
I've connected LAN port of ISP router to WAN port of this router. And I've turned of wifi of ISP router to avoid any interference. IP range of ISP router is 192.168.2.0/24

@frollic as of now nothing else, just now installed banIP and trying to configure it but it has no impact on above mentioned behavior as just now installed it.
But recently I setup a Netgear R7800 running OpenWrt 24.10.1 with full wpad-openssl at a relative's place. They have some android phones (2x Galaxy S24 Ultra and 1x Pixel 6) and an ISP provided and branded Android TV based IPTV box (most likely running Android 12).
The ISP provides an ONT + WiFi Router combo device (Genexis GX Earth 2022). Before I setup the R7800, this ONT was the only router and the ISP's Android TV device connected to both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi SSIDs (separate SSIDs) of this ONT without any issues.
The ISP's Android TV device could never detect either the R7800's 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz WiFi SSIDs (separate SSIDs). The three Android phones are able to detect and connect to the R7800's WiFi SSID (both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands) just fine but not the Android TV device. I resolved the issue by connecting the Android TV box via Ethernet cable to R7800.
Right now at my location I do not have an Android TV box to test, but I also have an ISP (different one) provided ONT (Dasan H660GM-A) and a GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) running OpenWrt 24.10.1 and (full) wpad-openssl .
Thanks for this information but it didn't help instead after taking their advice I got no Internet connection error. After changing back to Automatic time, it connected.
Also checked with wifi analyzer and configuration of both looked same:
