Unstable WLAN - Drops after 2-3 days

Post by ripmyundies »

Hi All

I have a WRT64G (v2) and also tried a WRT54GS (v2) and get the same issue run 1.4.1

After about 1-4 days, it drops Wifi, the wired works fine but the only way to get Wifi back is to reboot the router. I thought it was the WRT65G (not as much memory) so got a cheap WRT54GS and have the same issue.

Any ideas?

After your WAN has dropped post the output of 'logread' on this thread. Maybe that will give us a clue.

Re: Unstable WLAN - Drops after 2-3 days

I see the errors "deauthenticated due to local deauth request" in your output. This seems to be an issue with the hostapd deamon and not a Gargoyle specific issue. Your best shot will be to take this up over at OpenWrt.org. Start a new thread there and post your logread output. Hopefully someone who knows something about hostapd will take up the issue.

Now I did some reading and saw that some folks are able to recover such wifi issues by typing 'wifi' at the command line. This will re-init your wifi and is less dramatic than a reboot. It would also indicate that we are on the right track by accusing hostapd.

Good luck.

Speaking of logread, is it normal to see this message reoccurring every 10 minutes? logread is full of them.
