5GHz Not Working?

Post by focus »

The 5GHz wifi connections was working for about a week after I began using Gargoyle but then it randomly stopped working without anyone changing anything.
The connection appears in the wifi list but no device is able to connect to it. I tried resetting the settings in Gargoyle and the entire router as well as the modem.

Settings:

Any ideas?

Your screenshot isn’t working for me.
Can you please try it again?

What wifi channel are you using?

Nothing appears out of the ordinary sorry.
Perhaps check the system log (logread and dmesg) next time it occurs.

Thanks for checking.

Is there a way to view logs via GUI or is the only way to SSH into the router?

The webshell (logread) plugin can be installed from the plugins page.

Thanks!

Just for anyone else who is having this issue.
I installed webshell and systems logs (easier) from the plugin section and logs show:

daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA x:x:x:x:x:x WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN)
daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA x:x:x:x:x:x IEEE 802.11: disassociated
daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA x:x:x:x:x:x IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)

If I figure out the issue I will post back.

You don't happen to be using a WRT1900 series router and android devices do you?
If so, known issue with the wifi driver. When we move to the next testing version (1.11.X) there is a supposed fix along with it. But i don't have Android devices on my network so can't comment.

There are multiple android devices on the network so i guess they are interfering with the 5ghz connection and not allowing computers to connect either.

Thanks for the information!
I'll test once the update is available.

What's the model of your router?

What Gargoyle version you're on?

Is this thread somewhat related?
TP-Link Archer C7 v2 - Gargoyle 1.12.X
TP-Link WR842ND v2 - Gargoyle 1.10.X
TP-Link RE450 AC v2 - Stock FW 1.0.4
TP-Link WA850RE v1.2 - LEDE 17.01.1
