Flint WiFi issues

realjohny · 2021-12-03T04:29:33.028Z

The outer connection is most reliable and stable. It is working with zero downtime on B1300 with firmware 3.22.

I have used both 2.4Ghz (with AX) and 5Ghz (with AX) for these devices. These devices are Samsung S21 Ultra, Nvidia Shield TV, Dell XPS 10th gen. I believe all these devices are quite new.

Besides the WiFi issue, for no Internet connectivity what I have noticed is, it has something to do with custom DNS server. As I turn it off and on again, I get Internet connectivity.

When this happens, can you ping router and for example, 8.8.8.8 ?

Hello, since I upgraded to firmware 3.207, with 2s2, I can no longer reach the subnet of router b from the wifi of flint (router a). I can ping the peripherals, but not connect. No problem from the wired network. I have downgraded the fling to firmware 3.206 and everything is ok.

Thank you very much for your feedback, I will check it.

Hello, since I switched to firmware 3.208, I have the same problem as with the 3.207, with the s2s vpn: I can no longer access the subnet of router b from Flint’s wifi (router a ). I can ping devices, but cannot connect. No problem from the wired network. I downgraded the fling to firmware 3.206 and everything is fine. Can you s.v.pl. correct the problem in the next firmware? Thanks and greetings.

olivier · 2022-01-03T22:05:53.878Z

I reset the 2 routers to the default values, installed firmware 3.208 and recreated the s2s tunnel, and everything works. Thanks and greetings.

So I did reset my Router to and have installed before latest FW… For now everything works… I will wait 3-4 days and response again…

There are still huge 2,4G Wifi issues present for me, bandwidth around 1mbps even though there is perfect signal quality. Any news on that?

5G works perfectly, but there’s now coverage on the edges of my flat. So its quite a luxury problem. 2,4G IoT devices work as they should, they don’t require a lot of bandwidth probably.

Do you have any details? I don’t have feedback like this.

Well even after a fresh reset 2.4ghz wifi throughput is max 1-2 Mbit/s with perfect reception, upload usually worse, huge Ping also, 500ms. Apple devices mainly, will try to confirm with others

@alzhao does Flint technically support 160 MHz channel width?

alzhao · 2022-06-01T04:01:37.387Z

NO. Flint only support 80MHz.

I had completely the same issue. I had an USB disk attached to the USB port. After removing the disk everything was back to normal. It seems like the disk sucked to much power and is affecting the router (funnily just the 2.4 GHZ Wifi).

alzhao · 2022-06-28T14:17:46.123Z

USB3.0 has great interference with 2.4G wifi. Are you read/writing to the disk while using 2.4G?

It interferes but should be usable.

Pepperl · 2022-06-28T14:30:19.908Z

No it was just attached. Did not read or write anything.

martinderm · 2022-06-28T15:23:37.439Z

I have the issues without any disk attached…

Pepperl · 2022-06-28T16:56:08.885Z

I made some tests right now. As soon as I plugin the SSD and do a reboot 2.4 GHZ WiFi is unusable. Plug out the SSD and reboot, everything is fine again. Thats very strange! I really need the SSD attached to the router. It is one of the main reasons I bought this router. I even tried the 4.0 beta firmware. Completely the same behavior.
