5ghz wireless radio randomly disappear

Sat Dec 12, 2020 11:13 am

Hi guys i have rbm33g with two wireless card one for 2.4ghz /AR9370/ and other/QCA9880/ for 5 ghz . But sometimes 5ghz wireless radio disappear. In winbox all look OK , i disable/enable the interface but that not resolve the problem. Only when i reboot the routerbord the radio is available . This is happen randomly after 2 days, 2 weeks, 5 days, next day ...
I have had this board for more than 2 years, at one time this problem had appeared at the beginning, but it seems that the new versions of ROS have fixed it. Unfortunately, this problem may appear again in 2 months. I have tried all available versions for the board except version 7, but the problem remains. My question is did I put the cards in correctly and shouldn't a jumper fix it?

What's frequency setting? Auto or fixed frequency? What is it? I'm sure you're aware of DFS and rekated AP behaviour.

Wifi disappearing can be two things :
- HW problem (in this case don't know what you could do for solving it)
- DFS/ radar detected.
If DFS detected the log will show it (I think it is part of "info" logging. else add "wireless" for lagging).

In the interface tab, while the Wifi i/f being "absent", in the lower right tab part it will say : "radar detection" and it will show "not active"

PS: I exclude the 3rd one, ROS problem as I can not imagine this being SW problem if you use long term ROS version on your board...

Your client is set to auto frequency and channel width setting?

I use fixed channel - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=170718#p834491
I try last RC ROS with skip DFS channels=all
