General wifi debugging tips

Post by smoke_15 »

Hello all, on my x86 custom build (based on gargoyle 1.14) with a 2.4G network via the AR9485 wifi (ath9k driver), after a few days the Wifi seems to go down. The SSID stays up but clients can't connect to it anymore. LAN access to the internet works fine. When accessing the connected hosts in the gargoyle web GUI, there are no wireless clients.

System logs don't give any clues and no new entries are logged when a device does try to connect and gets rejected.

Reading some forums, what did work was "wifi down && wifi up". Restarting the radio/wifi seems like a bit of a hack as is rebooting the router.

Any tips on what I could look into? Enabling more verbose logging?
