Wireless bridging same device

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,

I have a Wavlink WL-WN575A3 . It is cheap but has good performance 5GHz 867Mbps and 2.4GHz 300Mbps only downside it 100Mbps ethernet sockets. Thank you to the person that made the firmware btw.

  • MediaTek MT7628AN ver:1 eco:2
  • MediaTek MT76x2E 802.11acn
  • OpenWrt 19.07.2 r10947-65030d81f3 / LuCI openwrt-19.07 branch git-20.115.52331-39a8290

What I want it to repeat/bridge the connect from 5Ghz AP (and Archer C9 running dd-wrt)
WDS I haven't got to work.
using relayd this works for ethernet and 2.4 Ghz

However 5Ghz doesn't seem to work. I feel it should as the manufacture firmware had it working. The internet suggest it should also work if i keep the channel the same. (I have tired that)

I have set up a client to the AP
and AP to rely the connection. The AP to relay (master) get labeled as disabled with no red line on it.

I set the error in the sys log

Sat May 2 21:56:17 2020 daemon.notice hostapd: handle_probe_req: send failed
Sat May 2 21:56:23 2020 daemon.err hostapd: Failed to set beacon parameters
Sat May 2 21:56:29 2020 daemon.err hostapd: Failed to set beacon parameters
Sat May 2 21:56:35 2020 daemon.err hostapd: Failed to set beacon parameters

I have tried setting the beacon to 100 on both wireless setups. I have also update all packages I can.

Then don't set a beacon parameter.

With
option beacon_int 100 for radio1
set and not set in in /etc/config/wireless
same result

Ok I think I may have worked it out.

I updated to OpenWrt 19.07.3 r11063-85e04e9f46
I correctly enter the wifi region for both Master and Client
Also I set the wifi channel
