Hello,

I have a problem with my QOS / QSM on the WRT1900ACS and the last Vs. David/FW,  all my numbers on the DSLREPORTRS were worse, when I used a C7 / DD-WRT,

I use a fiber link of 50/10 mbits in PPPoE, and already tried several configs, with LEDE but all without a good result.

So I would like the help of the most experienced, indicating me the best standards and especially indicating me where to study more and better on this subject.

All help will be very welcome, and I already leave my thanks to everyone.

I'm on TDS Fiber to the home, and only have a 300/300mbps connection, and like yourself Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet is used.  I've had zero issue getting full speed, so I'm wondering if this doesn't have something to do with QOS/QSM.

Have you tried disabling QOS and SQM to see what kind of a difference it makes?  I'm not talking about disabling it permanently, but just for a process of elimination.

I'm kinda up in the air about the V1 right now.  Since the reboot issue it's been nothing but a pain jumping through hoops to get it working... somewhat.

I just completed a new build on a different machine with a new .config, and the results were the same with samba-3.6.25 failing.  I couldn't find Samba in the daily snapshots over at LEDE/OpenWrt either. 

One of the developers is probably working on a fix.

*Edit*

The fail may be related to this on flyspray --  https://bugs.lede-project.org/index.php … sk_id=1332

I haven't had any issues yet, but would like to hear how other people make out with it.  The build with Kernel 4.14 has been uploaded to the server. Keep in mind that Samba is not available.

Hi David,

404 error code clicking that link

K4.14 build is here:
https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/sn … tal/r6177/

I edited the post and fixed the link...

I gave it a try - from what I can tell, I am missing the "wireless" page under Network where I would configure and enable my radios.

Is there just a missing package or something? Here is what LuCI looks like: https://imgur.com/a/GI8Na

Thanks for the hard work!

It looks like the wireless configuration doesn't exist, and probably just needs to be rebuilt. 

My guess is if you run ether of these commands they will not work.

cat /etc/config/wireless   <<< File probably doesn't exist
uci show wireless    <<< There's probably no configuration to read from.

there's a command to reset and rebuild wifi however, I'm having difficulty finding it.. will keep searching.

Hi the command to reset and rebuild wifi  is rm /etc/config/wireless and then wifi config

I gave that a shot, still looks like I am out of luck. After trying to regenerate, I am not getting any interfaces or anything:

root@OpenWrt:~# ls /etc/config/wireless
/etc/config/wireless
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
root@OpenWrt:~# uci show wireless

What build is on the other partition? Or what image were you using before?  Take a look at the Advanced reboot app, and see what's on the other partition. You might try booting over to it, and then flash again, but don't save any settings.

Same here with the latest experimental build on the wrt3200.  Did a factory install from the Linksys stock on the other partition and then reset to default just to be safe.  I even tried restoring my configuration from a previous backup....wireless did show up but the tabs had blank drop downs for most of the settings.

I also noticed that it wifi driver was older than I expected: kmod-mwlwifi - 4.14.18+10.3.4.0-20171214-1kmod-mwlwifi - 4.14.18. Not sure that helps but I thought I'd pass the info along.

I've seen the blank drop downs before, and is fixable... Take a look at your wireless config really well.  Also, take a look at your wireless radio path.. See if it looks like the one below.

wireless.radio0.path='soc/soc:pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0'

My other partition has the latest Linksys stock. I did try booting over to it and booting back without any luck. I also tried resetting all settings via LuCI but it didn't fix it.

I will try reflashing tomorrow.

Thanks for the info.... So far we have 2 who came from Linksys stock firmware with a similar wifi issues. Yours seems to be a harder issue to solve.

David, how did you guess?  My radio path looks exactly like the one you posted.   All other information looks to be OK in the config, except possibly the hwmode. I did read somewhere that those values aren't as clear as you might think.  Also it's only the mode, Band, Channel and Width drop downs that are clear with no selectable options..

Make that 3. Testing on a 1900acsV2 here. I always go back to stock firmware on the other partition before loading your builds. Just tried your test version this afternoon. No access to wifi in LuCI at all. Could not take the time to play with it as the family would have killed me.

I am still on r5917 on the 3200 and just noticed I have the same issue. /etc/config/wireless does exist and WiFi is working flawlessly, BUT I simply cannot see the configuration page in LuCI. I normally change settings in the config file itself so unfortunately I cannot tell when this problem first occurred.

Edit: It's been a long time and probably a dozen or so of OpenWRT and LEDE releases since stock firmware...

Hey my dear,

I am sure that I am much longer part of this post as you think.

So keep your "correction" for your self!

If there is written Hey David than I ment David. And that have a reason why I wrote direct to him and not asked generally!

Third radio, really? Isn´t it a gasstation to refill my mobile?

It is not the point that any client use yet the 160mhz, why than have this setting if not usable?!

One thing is so bad about forums, unqulified answers just to write something where the people than screem after two years " Oh yeah I have 2899 posts and you?".

Never mind, I gues you didn´t read the post otherwise you would have seen my posts years ago already.

Thanks David,

yes I remember that it was recognized as bluetooth device in the past. Would be cool to have this opportunity to connect as well. I am thinking there more about IoT. I am currently playing a lot with microcontrollers and the wifi setup takes a lot of memory always so I am forced than to use a device with more memory which of course is more expensive.

However, the radio seems to be stable now with your last public compile! Thanks! ;-)

I still have trouble with compilation and in hell I don´t find the reason why. randomly packages fails to compile even without touching the defaults. So I gave up this point.

One of my clients have a huge problem with wifi so I sold him the wrt3200acm and damn, still the same problem. There are a lot of clients in the nieghbourhood but this can not be the reason why the signal strength goes down after 5 meters to almost have without anything in the way!
Any Idea why? It is a wooden house by the way, no steel at all. I ordered now a measure device to find out if there are maybe some stringer signals which destroys the wifi signal.
The strange thing is that the mobile antenne is in view and the 4g signal is going up and down as well.
No high voltage powerline in the near as well.

Have you heared that there are comming "bad" signals over the usal 230 v power net which affects wifi?

@davidc502
Thx for this new 4.14 test build, I can confirm i also experience WIFI problems.

The systemlog displays the error below:

This problem is already known and seems to be solved.

@davidc502 Might be of interest.

Hello,

finally today it was possible to install in my WRT3200, immediately only the network in 160Ghz did not work, however after setting at 80Ghz and resetting the router everything worked fine.

As the same is used in a different ISP and with a faster link of 200/100 mbits fiber to performance is higher than the WRT1900, during the week I will be doing bigger tester and finalizing the configuration, I will send the topic informed because it has a high usage of devices on this router I believe it is possible to help David in the tests of his Vs.

no more would like help or guidance to configure a VPN server, and how incredible it seems the Upnp does not recognize the DVR and printer and central alarm, but that a read in the WIKI should solve.

Ps.>: I know that this modification should be done in LUCI, but to show the temprations in the overview page would be very paratic, I will do the suggestion in the forum developer, however I believe that if a developer like Davis also suggests have a greater power.

one more time, congratulations on your hard work
