Flint AX1800 No Wi-FI SSID visible (v.4.8.3)

Router

Resurrecting an old thread here. My Flint (v1) AX1800 one day stopped broadcasting Wi-Fi. This was documented in this thread: Flint AX1800 All Wi-Fi Clients Disconnected (3.216, v4.1)

I originally was on v3.216, then performed an online firmware update to v4.1 without Uboot. The issues remained for years.

I’ve just now updated the Uboot using these instructions: Flint (GL-AX1800) Latest firmware - #4 by K3rn3l_Ku5h

And updated to v4.8.3 using the Uboot file (no transfer of firmware settings).

When I turn on Wi-Fi, I still see no SSID broadcast. There’s nothing to connect to.

Log: Transfer - Dropbox
iwinfo: Transfer - Dropbox

Did I use the wrong update procedure? I initially updated from v3.x to v4.x by only uploading the firmware in the interface. But I then tried to get to v4.8.3 by first updating the Uboot (is there a newer version than the one I used?) and then by using the Uboot firmware updater.

Any other advice? Thank you

@will.qiu I can see your message in my email but not here.

Could you please clarify your network setup and details of issues?

  1. Is the AX1800 the only wireless router in your network?

  2. Or is the AX1800 acting as the main router, with an additional AP connected to it, so that the iPhone and Pixel 5 are connecting through the AP and obtaining IP addresses from the AX1800?

After the Wi-Fi wasn’t broadcasting, I added another wireless router behind the Flint in AP mode. The Flint sees these phones as connected by ethernet.

Thank you
