Ax1800 Flint Bug Report

Zoey · 2022-06-20T11:15:59.665Z

If my Flint is my Router, with Firmware 4.x, and I connect my B1300 in WDS-Mode to it, to extend my Wi-Fi the B1300 disconnects after a few hours, and only reconnects after a restart. With the Flint on 3.x the connection is stable.

I hope it is the same problem. Let’s wait for WDS fix in firmware 4.x

Ok, that’s good, that there will soon be a fix for WDS problem, so you got the second also reproduced?

I didn’t try connecting B1300 to Flint though.

Zoey · 2022-09-17T15:28:22.869Z

Is this now fixed or does the bug still exist?

alzhao · 2022-09-18T06:10:29.867Z

Sorry, need to clarify again, connect AX1800 as WDS client to B1300 or
Connect B1300 as WDS client to AX1800?

Zoey · 2022-09-18T08:01:41.281Z

B1300 as WDS client to AX1800, which disconnects after a few hours.
And AX1800 as WDS client to AX1800, which doesn’t connect at all.
At least these were the problems I had three months ago, I didn’t test v4 since this again.

alzhao · 2022-09-18T08:52:25.768Z

Can you test AX1800 firmware v4.1?

Zoey · 2022-09-18T09:14:45.893Z

If I find time I test it, but I can only Test AX1800 as WDS client to AX1800, since I replaced the B1300 with an AX1800. (So I now have four of them)

alzhao · 2022-09-19T09:19:49.050Z

Pls upgrade to 4.1 firmware, WDS should work.

Please note, WDS to (or from) B1300 is not supposed to work as they use different wifi drivers.

Zoey · 2022-10-01T13:51:47.627Z

I’ve tested v4.1.0 on AX1800 and B1300 today and so far it seems to work without problems on my four AX1800s and my B1300. I will stay on v4 for now. Many Thanks!

I found a new Bug, on my B1300 (in WDS mode) under Applications I have the Sub-menu “Plugins” on my AX1800s (used in WDS and AP mode) this point does not exist. It only exists in Router mode.

Also under System → Overwiew
If I use the UI in dark Mode, the graph is good readable on the B1300 and not so good on the AX1800.

On the same page the external storage Tab is bugged on the B1300:

And the last Bug I found on my B1300 (WDS to a Repeater of another company):

I tried multiple reboots and the error is still very often shown, but everything works without problem, only the error is shown.

Yes it has been fixed

Actually we added the plug-in back in bridge mode because it does not conflict with bridge mode.

I can set a schedule for the guest network, even if it can’t be configured/used (guest-wifi), because the router is in AP/WDS-Mode. I think this is a Bug, it shouldn’t be possible to enable a schedule for this, or it should be possible to use the guest network even in AP/WDS-Mode.

alzhao · 2022-10-18T12:01:10.279Z

AP mode cannot use guest WiFi?

I see. Forward to developers

Zoey · 2022-10-30T20:11:48.927Z

After updating (from dl.gl-inet.com) and looking into the changelogs: Release Release v4.1.0_ax1800_release3 · gl-inet/gl-infra-builder · GitHub
There is mentioned: “Fix AP mode does not allow Guest wifi, so it is blocked”
Do I need to reset the router that this option will become visible, because on my Router I still can’t activate the Guest wifi in AP-mode, instead the mentioned “Guest Wi-Fi Schedule” setting is disappeared.

Also using the GL-inet App it is possible to activate the Guest network on Routers in WDS mode and AP mode. This doesn’t make sense at all.

And another questions – why is it not possible to run a vpn server on the AX1800, while it is in AP/WDS mode? While at the same time it is possible to run Network Storage on it.
