So I have this router which any time I want to make configuration changes to it, which I should be able to change the settings as I please, something goes wrong the router stops working (boot loop, Ethernet connects/disconnects constantly), best case scenario I can still reach the the GUI.
So, I needed to put the router temporarily in repeater mode, I went to make the changes and then WiFi is gone, 2.4 and 5 GHz both gone, the led lights remain off, the channel is set to 0, tried putting back to router and the same issue, tried rolling back to an older firmware, update to latest, put one, two, three versions older, tried clearing NVRAM, resetting, tried pretty much anything I could think off.
Usually this problems goes away after the router is been unhooked from the power for a ~day, we will see if this time is also true.
In any case, I am tired of dealing with this router, I paid good money for it because I wanted to avoid any issues yet have a strong signal, at this point my raspberry works better as a router than this Asus GT-AC5300.
In any case, I was able to reach the GUI again turned on/off WiFi and still nothing so I decided to go SSH to see if there was anyway I could figure out via shell what could be the problem, I really have never used shell on a router and found that with the wl command I could bring up and down the WiFi and probably even do some diagnosis so I ran it and got this:
and pretty much any command I run with it I get the same wl: wl driver adapter not found, then I read somewhere that some routers, don't have a chip that can be managed with wl.
So my question is, does anyone have any experience with this router or a similar one with SSH, and if so is there any command I can use to check and bring up the WiFi?
I can almost say for certain is not a hardware problem since the WiFi both 2.4 and 5 GHz were working before I started with the settings.
Another note, when I got into the shell, I checked the value of the NVRAM for the wl_radio and it was set to 0, I tried changing it to 1 and reloading the NVRAM to see if it was due to that value considering that 0 means radio is off.
Thank you all for your input.
