Random net loss, 5g going down

[tim bowater]

Hi, I have the latest merlin firmware and I keep losing 5G. Can someone see whats happening with the log?

I have also been struggling with random 5G drops. Sometimes a couple within a few hours and then no issues for a day or two. I just installed a laptop cooler pad under the router to see if lowering the temp will help. Curious if anyone else has seen this or come up with a solution.

 

[tim bowater]

mine seems to be getting worse. The temp of the 2g is 51c, the 5g is 53c and the cpu is 82c. cpu seems a little high

That's my log

 

[tim bowater]

it can't be heat related, just turned it off, moved it onto the floor and waited 10 mins. Now the cpu is 70c and it dropped out again...

After the last drop out

 

[anichols70]

Nope. No luck here either. Temps dropped from 70 to 56 and just happened again. Lost contact and couldn't see the 5G network again until I rebooted the router.

Mine seems to be stable now, I turned off IPV6 and QOS completely. I will try to figure out which one is causing my drop outs.

I like to add that I think m 5g is droping too and requires reboot to fix

 

[anichols70]

Happened again about 10 minutes ago. The 5G drops, the SSID "disappears" until a reboot. I've also attached my log taken not long after it happened. Does anyone have any ideas? I've followed all the setup info about minimal configuration, etc.

Happened to me too. And after I restarted my router the 5G appeared minutes later than the 2.4G band. Changing the channel fixed it for me!

It's a firmware issue. I reverted back to 380.64_2 and works no problems.

 

[anichols70]

I've hard set both 2.4 and 5g channels and disabled IPv6. It's been more stable since then. I'm curious....I have a newer router that supposedly has different wireless chips (can't find the thread, but it had to do with the temperatures being shown as disabled). Does everyone on this thread have the same thing or is it a mix of old and new?

 

[anichols70]

@muffintastic - I moved my router back to 380.64_2 as suggested and it's been stable for a couple of days now. Thanks for the insight.

Try going to wireless then to the 5g side, then to professional tab and turn transmit power down halfway and test it.

I haven't had a problem since I disabled ipv6 and QOS. Just enabled QOS again to see if it's that or ipv6. Will report back

 

[tim bowater]

I can't use QOS or IPv6

It's a firmware issue. I reverted back to 380.64_2 and works no problems.

Same problem here also. Rolling back fixed it for me too. Hopefully, the problem will get fixed in 380.66.

 

[tim bowater]

the new firmware seems to good so far, no problems for 8 hours. i enabled QoS and no wifi problems or restarts. I'll try ipv6 tomorrow and report back.
