Wireless drops out after a few hours/days

[drz]

Hi all,

I'm running two TP Link WR841N v9.1s (Gargoyle v1.7.0). One is AP+WDS, one is WDS Client.

Setup works great (awesome throughput) until a certain point at which the Wifi on the WDS Client seems to stop working (I don't drop the connection/signal, however LAN/WAN seems to slow to a halt). I get the following error and only a reboot of the WDS client seems to bring things back to normal.

I have found a different bug to due with the bandwidth monitor that caused routers to crash (I fixed by disabling BWMON service). Any thoughts?

Post wireless config and logread output (after the wds client stop) here.

Have you tried this version of 1.6.2

http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... =14&t=6356

Its the most stable version ever (in my opinion)

SPooky will post logread next time it happens. Wireless settings are attached.

(thinking it could be because I am re-broadcasting same SSID?)

ispyisail, does v1.6.2 support Tp link wr841v9? I was under the impression support first started in OpenWRT BB

1.7.0 is still buggy

I can confirm this problem, i am too use wr-841N V9 as wireless bridge/repeater, on high torrent activity (or sometimes just in the middle of nothing) it freezes, WiFi and LAN do not respond and i can't even enter the web interface, only powering it off and on helps. I had this same problem on my previous wr-841N V7, that died after 3 years (no wonder). Thing is - for V7 version of router 1.5.6-1.6.0 versions of Gargoyle used to work stable as it gets - no hangs, no freezes. Sadly for V9 i can't use 1.6.0 simply because it does not exist and latest 1.7.1 (now i'm running gargoyle-ispy 2015-March-27 which works pretty much the same as 1.7.1 stable) works as described in this topic. Any debug info i can provide - please instruct me and i will gladly do it.

I have the same problem with TP-link router on both 1.7.0 and 1.7.1. If anything it's worse on 1.7.1.

Wired networking doesn't have the problem.
