Thanks for the tips, Bruce. I tried everything you suggested and even forced TKIP instead of AES in the OpenWRT LUCI interface. Nothing helped.
I have decided I will return the device and use my Flint 2. I think you mentioned last time it's not an issue if I don't have the box anymore.
How do I start a return?
Cheers
We’re truly sorry that the Flint 3 didn’t meet your expectations this time. Please rest assured that we are continuously working to improve our products. I’ll email you at your @me.com address to begin processing your return request.
Thanks for your patience and understanding all the time.
Hi, just to check back again, was this ever resolved? Did someone manage to make it work with Ring doorbell 3?
Hi,
We are trying to purchase this iot device, and test in our R&D lab.
We are working hard on solving this issue.
Has this been fixed yet?
Just thoughts.
Disable 5Ghz band to retest. Forcing app and camera to be on
Make sure you don't have guest network on. Swap names later. I set up everything on normal name then moved everything to guest by changing names.
Delete and reset camera in app.
Hello all,
In the latest snapshot version, we have resolved the WiFi connection issue of the Ring Door, please upgrade to snapshot firmware without keep settings for Flint 3 to test:
Hi, I was having the same issue and download the Snapshot version. It worked and I could connect, but I could only use WPA2. Thanks for the fix.
Many other issues have emerged with the Snapshot, devices state they password is incorrect when it is not (copy and paste same password multiple times). The Gl-inet app also keeps asking to reconnect. I am seeking a return.
Hello,
Sorry for causing inconvenience.
I tested this with my BE9300, and the issue did not reproduce.
To avoid conflicts with other settings, please reset the firmware, and set a WiFi password again. Please forget this network on your laptop/phone, and re-enter the password and connect the WiFi.
If no luck, please export the syslog and send it to me via PM, will try to find the reason in the log.
Thank you, that is great news! Now if we can just get NAT Loopback working I can use the Flint 3, it has been sitting on my desk and collecting dust since July.
Turn off network acceleration and the NAT loopback is fixed. Apparently a OpenWRT thing and not specific to flint I hear.
Thanks Bruce for the fix on Ring. I have finally started using the router
I’m the person who reported the issue initially. It is not a OpenWRT thing, it’s Qualcomm’s drivers. It works fine with Hardware Acceleration enabled on the Flint 2 (Mediatek processor). The Flint 3 processor is already slower than the Flint 2, the last thing I want to be doing is disabling Hardware Acceleration.
It's not the processor that's slower, it's the supported Wi-Fi spec that's slower. I disabled it on my Flint 3 with no noticable difference, but more stable.
I use my guest network as an IoT network. In order to pair some devices, I had to turn off AP Isolation for the guest network during setup.
NAT acceleration off uses more CPU resources because the CPU is processing everything itself, making it slower…
Also, the CPU in the Flint 3 (1.5GHz Quad) is slower than the Flint 2 (2GHz Quad) and this is reflected perfectly in wireguard performance with the Flint 3 being around 25% slower.
Which is why I’m still using the Flint 2. What’s the point of changing the router and setting everything up again only to be approximately as fast as my Flint 2.
What is the status on a fix to this problem?
Hello,
Are you asking about connecting Ring Door to Flint3?
If yes, please refer to:
I'm having the same issue with the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro battery. Just converted from Xfinity router to Flint 3. I can connect if I run 2.4 wide open but when I configure PSK the cams don't connect. Running the Flint 3 beta 4.8.99. It looks like it never completes authentication.
I sometimes get a p7-07 error and sometimes I get a wrong PW message. Set the PW to be just a string of As and still got invalid pw.
Use the nightly build.
Please try to install snapshot firmware
