A Wireless WAN Wifi annoyance (Mediatek 7620 + CCrc3)
Before i file it as a bug, i would like to ask others to see if they can replicate it
- on the same devices. NEXX 3020, and D-Link DIR-505
- on other devices with Mediatek 7620, and Atheros AR1311
- on completely different devices. To see if they behave any different.
The situation:
Radio transmits on channel 6 in my case
Router connected to the net is the AccessPoint
WLAN SSID:TheNet
EDIT
Above is the existing router
and
Below is the OpenWRT router
/EDIT
Radio on channel:6
WWAN SSID:TheNet
WLAN SSID:OpenWRT
All works fine until SSID:TheNet is not available
When you take the 'travel router'to another place and try to boot, OpenWRT does not find SSID:TheNet and as a result SSID:OpenWRT also does not seem to come up.
The 'travel router' is no longer reachable via WiFi. So if you don't have a Cat cable in your pocket there is no way you can reach the router to reconfigure to connect to another WLAN. And that kinda sucks...
BUT:
When I add another SSID
SSID:WTF
Then it becomes a bit weird...
Now all of a sudden de SSID:OpenWRT comes up. but the new SSID:WTF is not. And after a few minutes also SSID:OpenWRT disappears again. If I then try again, and add SSID:WFT2 nothing happens...
With BarrierBreaker on a D-Link DIR-505 The issue seems to be almost the same, although on BarrierBreaker the WWAN Client SSID is automatically disabled when it can't reach the AccessPoint. Still the other SSID is also disabled. So the router cannot be reached over WiFi. The DIR-505 only has 1 RJ45 So i wonder when i would have configured that as WAN instead of LAN if i then still could have access at all. Or if it would stay in a semi-bricked kind of state until I'm near the last uses AccessPoint. Semi-bricked since you need a Cat cable to get access to the router, and when travelling you might not have a Cat cable in the suitcase.
Will also try this with the GL.iNet 6416 I expect the same, since it has the same SoC as the DIR-505.
What happens on other devices?
