Flint - 2.4 Ghz wireless partially stops working after update to 4.6.6 bugfix

[pinus]

Hello,

I've seen this morning an update for my Flint. If I understand correctly, this update was only meant to fix the GUI issue with wifi, which I already fixed temporarily following that topic.

After the update, the 2.4 GHz network was down.
I have 3 wireless network in that frequency:

1. Management - radio1.network1
2. Guest - radio1.network2
3. IoT - radio1.network3

The first two are the default ones from gl-iNET, I didn't change any settings.
The third one was added manually in Luci.

The weird thing is that if I disable the first 2.4 AP (management - radio1.network1), all of sudden the two other networks appear and work fine.

Any suggestions ?

Many thanks

The weird thing is that if I disable the first 2.4 AP (management - radio1.network1), all of sudden the two other networks appear and work fine.

May I know if the radio1 disabled, does the radio2/3 not work?

[pinus]

I don't have radio 2/3.
Here are the names showing in Luci:

• 5 GHz management : wlan1
• 5 GHz guest : wlan1-1
• 2.4 GHz management : radio1.network1
• 2.4 GHz guest : radio1.network2
• 2.4 GHz IoT : radio1.network3

Both 5 GHz are fine.

For 2.4 GHz, if Management - radio1.network1 is activated, none of the 2.4 GHz are OK.
If I deactivate radio1.network1, the other 2.4 GHz are OK.

This config group 'radio1.network1' probably has issue.

Please check the /etc/config/wireless. Have you configured it before?

I haven't done any manual change in the wireless config file.
I have only applied these commands from the thread mentioned in the first post:

uci set wireless.default_radio0.ifname='wlan1'
uci set wireless.default_radio1.ifname='wlan0'
uci set wireless.guest5g.ifname='wlan1-1'
uci set wireless.guest2g.ifname='wlan0-1'
uci commit wireless

And here is my /etc/config/wireless file:

Thanks for your help,

There are 2 'ifname's same, try configuring the second one to 'wlan0-2'

[pinus]

That was it, thanks for the solution !
