I can also confirm the wireless upgrade problem when upgrading to 6.37.
In this case going from 6.24 using wireless-fp, the upgrade went through but afterward I had wireless 6.37, wireless 6.24 and wireless-fp 6.24 all present and disabled.
Uninistalling via CLI did not remove them.
Downgrading to Bugfix 6.34.6 version got the radio going again.
I checked what packages were installed after the bugfix had rebooted and it only showed the 6.34.6 wireless options.
I decided to try an upgrade form the bugfix but that still failed showing wireless 6.24 still present ???
Back to 6.34.6 until it’s sorted
Other devices running happily on 6.36.3 have upgraded to 6.37 without problem. And our office AP has been running much better since upgrading to 6.37 so it is not all bad !!
Hi All,
from my side after the upgrade all is working as before except a “cosmetic” issue.
Statistics on wlan is now 0 while before the upgrade it was working.
I am using CAPSMAN and this happen on RB951Ui-2HnD that is the manager while on CAP RB941-2nD and RB952Ui-5ac2nD the issue is not present
With 6.37 I am unable to set up a wlan interface without SSID; i get error “failure: ssid must be specified for AP mode”. Indeed i have no SSID on the real wlan interface, i got 4 virtual APs. Is it normal behaviour?
Links missing, not files. And Changelog missing too.
We are working on something for the download site, unfortunately, some things got broken. We will fix soon.
After upgrade to 6.37 with DFS, when I change frekvency → then is AP with fixed frequency (5620Mhz) 10minutes detecting radar (without clients) and after 10minutes is runnig AP. It is normal?
When using 5600-5650MHz, ETSI requires to search for 10 minutes, this is in the regulations. You should use some other frequency, or modify your scan list to avoid the most common radar frequency range (this one).
Yes, it’s normal, it is following ETSI requirement.
You should exclude this frequency from the scan list, and it will not scan for 10 minutes. Or you can use superchannel or another country to avoid DFS altogether, but for this, you can get into trouble.
How come that my LINKSYS WRT1900ACS Dual Band router neither ASUS RT-AC5300 nor does D-Link DWL-8600AP Unified Wireless N Dual Band PoE AP or Cisco Aironet 1852E have a 10 minute delay before starting ? They all are available after device has booted, thats say within 2-3 minutes as most worse.
These are all indoor units that will probably operate by default on the low channels where DFS is not required, and can investigate the radar situation later.
Also note that ETSI specifies those radar checks to happen at “installation or re-installation” time, not at boot time. So an AP is allowed to store the
results in nonvolatile memory and use them after boot, maybe conditional on a time-of-last-operation timestamp.
(so it re-checks the frequency when it detects that it has been booted after a longish period of no operation)
AVM products do in fact wait for 10 minutes if one selects channel 116 and above. Just wondering why the hAP AC set to “Ceee” on channel 116 only waits for one minute as it potentially uses the Radar frequencies on “eee”?
Well this is not funny at all, i have hundreds of AP with that kind of configuration, i’ll have to update them manually (delete virtual AP, configure wlan, change bridge) ?
I have just tested with a 6.34, wlan without SSID, 2 virtual AP. Quickset->upgrade->reboot: after reboot, my wlan interface is disabled and in default configuration. Mikrotik is seriously messing up with this version
Because This routers/ap are for indoor use as pe1chl wrote. I was also confused about that, Lots of people are baying tons of wireless equipment that don’t support DFC, I find 2.4Ghz routers (US standard) with max eirp 1W but max allowed in EU is 200mW, this is what our Telecom is doing they are giving tomson routers (for free) with 1W output power. My local authority told me at my home I can use 5Ghz frequency without DFC at max output power that device support, and there is no law that can stop me.
Like Microwave it works on 2.4Ghz output power up to 50W but its legal to use in your home
But If you place LINKSYS WRT1900ACS in to the weatherproof box and place it outside on the tower and use frequency that required DFC that is illegal
