Connectivity lost after a while on phones

[ChiefCass]

Posting a "Me2" this topic.
I have Gargoyle 1.6.2 running on D-Link router connected via ethernet to main house router as a WiFi extender for the backyard and, after a few minutes of no demand, the wireless network disappears from the phone(s). Scanning for a network (all we have is Android) finds the network, connects and gives acceptable speed. Set phone on picnic table and talk, eat, etc. for a few minutes, pick up the phone and it's either reporting connected at 1MBPS or it's looking for a connection... Sometimes, network completely disappears - "Saved" but "Not in Range" on phone...
Are there time out defaults? I haven't setup any QoS or other stuff yet: Just basic out-of-the box and network passwords stuff. Everything else at default config.
Thanks for your ideas...

That's not the same problem. In my case, the phone stays connected to the network, the network is perfectly visible, but there is no connectivity.

I am still waiting for some suggestion. If I use:

Code: Select all

iw dev wlan0-1 station dump

I can see how "rx packets" increase, but "tx packets" never increase. So the phone is sending data to the router, and the router just doesn't bother responding.

Another release, not yet fixed, bumpy bump

I compiled from git and now it happens less often (like two or three times a day, compared with twenty times a day), and when it happens dmesg says this:

Code: Select all

No clue of what it means obviously, but hey.

No clue of what it means obviously, but hey.

what version of gargoyle?

[uysiquebien]

git from yesterday, 1.9.x was it I think.

[uysiquebien]

Oh, it looks like it's an old upstream bug. I bumped it.
