Flint 2 - Some ESP8266 won't connect w/ beta 4.8.0 firmware

Routers
1

Hi, just wanted to report it here. One of my ESP01s modules with ESP8266 running Tasmota 13.4.0 firmware wouldn't connect to Flint 2 wifi after switching from 4.7.7 to beta 4.8.0 w/ clean install. Tasmota would output "Connect failed with AP timeout" without any additional data. I wasn't able to get any meaningful logs on the router either. I tried changing all of the wifi options, rebooting, switching the ESP to 802.11b/11g/11n... Always the same problem. After flashing 4.7.7 again (clean install as always), the same ESP connects immediately on default wifi settings.

4.8.0 beta logs:

Hi,

Please collect the WiFi information in v4.8.0 and v4.7.7 respectively:

while true;do echo ----;iwpriv rax0 show stainfo;echo ----;iwpriv rax0 show stacountinfo;echo ----;iwpriv rax0 show stat;echo ----;iwpriv rax0 show MibBucket;echo ----;iwpriv rax0 show mibinfo;echo ----;iwpriv rax0 show tpinfo=0-2;echo ----;iwpriv rax0 show vow_info;echo =======;sleep 3;done

Hi,

The attached log is not clear enough, please help us to collect the 2.4GHz debug log

Please SSH to router, and execute the commands:

logread -f&
iwpriv ra0 set debug=5:15
iwpriv ra0 set debug=3:13

Please reproduce the issue, like connect the ESP8266 (iot devices) to Flint2 2.4GHz WiFi, the terminal will print the syslog, please copy all log to notepad, and share with us in PM.
Thanks!

Thanks bruce,
I'm going to stay on 4.7.7 for now. I'll gather those logs next time I decide to upgrade & experiment
