hAP ax3 with Starlink - problems

dudi · February 26, 2025, 11:34am

Hello,

I am a new user of the hAP ax3 router. My ISP is Starlink. I followed a tutorial from YouTube for the setup. At first glance, everything seems to be working fine – the Wi-Fi speeds are significantly better compared to the stock Starlink router.

However, I have noticed that devices frequently disconnect from the Wi-Fi network, and I have no idea why. I enabled the wireless debug mode, but it doesn’t provide any additional information.

Additionally, I am having trouble connecting some IoT devices (mainly Xiaomi). I’m not sure what the issue is, but they cannot connect to the Internet. Other devices work fine, but these disconnections still occur. I also noticed that on one of my laptops connected to the 2.4GHz network, domain names are not resolving despite having the correct DNS address. After manually switching to Cloudflare DNS, everything on that laptop started working correctly. I also created an additional Wi-Fi network for IoT devices with WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication, but I don’t think the issue is related to authentication.

I just updated the firmware to version 7.18, but the issue persists.

I would really appreciate any help.

Regards,
dudi

Those devices that are disconnecting, are they downloading something at this time? Idle devices often disconnect due to power saving

I’m pretty sure it is not related to power management. It is disabled for the Wi-Fi cards, and additionally I see in the tray that the connection is being dropped and almost immediately re-established.
During this time, I have some radio stream running on one of the affected clients.

Edit: I’ve double checked it and it seems that the disconnection is not related to power management.

root@bungholio:~# iw dev wlp6s0 get power_save
Power save: off

I’ll leave only WPA2 enabled and disable WPA3 – maybe the disconnection is related to that…
