WDR3600 wireless stops broadcasting

Post by 3to1ODDS »

Some time in the early morning no wireless device in my house is able to see the SSID broadcast from this router. I've had this issue two days in a row and yesterday I set up a remote syslog server and forwarded out everything 7 and below to it but after a line-by-line analysis the only out of the ordinary entry is this:
*snip*
Nov 30 06:40:33 gargoyle.lan dropbear[19937]: Child connection from 141.212.121.10:51314
Nov 30 06:40:33 gargoyle.lan dropbear[19937]: Exit before auth: Exited normally

*snip*
every thing else is DDNS related and DHCP renewals. Unfortunately I'm usually late for work in the morning so all I can do is pull the plug on the router, which fixes it, but I do not have the time to attempt to log on to it via lan.
I have been doing some "tweaking" and added the noscan and HT40-( which worked well on the WNR2000 that I replaced with this model, same channel) so I've attached my /etc/config/wireless for review:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option macaddr 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
option hwmode '11ng'
list ht_capab 'LDPC'
list ht_capab 'SHORT-GI-20'
list ht_capab 'SHORT-GI-40'
list ht_capab 'TX-STBC'
list ht_capab 'RX-STBC1'
list ht_capab 'DSSS_CCK-40'
option noscan '1'
option channel '11'
option htmode 'HT40-'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
option type 'mac80211'
option macaddr 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
option hwmode '11na'
list ht_capab 'LDPC'
list ht_capab 'SHORT-GI-20'
list ht_capab 'SHORT-GI-40'
list ht_capab 'TX-STBC'
list ht_capab 'RX-STBC1'
list ht_capab 'DSSS_CCK-40'
option channel '157'
option htmode 'HT40+'

config wifi-iface 'ap_g'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'ap'
option network 'lan'
option ssid 'BOO'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'noneyo'

config wifi-iface 'ap_a'
option device 'radio1'
option mode 'ap'
option network 'lan'
option ssid 'YOY'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'noneyo'

Any ideas?

FYI, seems to be the noscan option, which is odd considering it ran just fine on the wnr2000 that I replaced with this model. I've removed it and it seems to be stable.

I'm having this same problem. I'd like to revert to stock/OEM.. What is the procedure for doing that for WDR-3600? I'm reading about modified firmwares that I might need?
