I did notice that as well and I believe I had reported that in the testreport. I did not hear anything about it.

a1300 doesn’t have DFS support as of certification. so repeater manager scan won’t see DFS channels.
axt1800 has option to enable DFS:

smiths:

Currently all SSID are disabled on the A1300.

This may be caused by scanning by iwinfo and repeater manager conflict.
Try

/etc/init.d/repeater stop

Before iwinfo scan.

Hi Hansome,

All SSID disabled on router, is not a bug - just my poor explanation.
I turned off all the client wifi in the wireless menu option to focus on the wlan connection.

My problem is:
Router UI does not see DFS channels in GL-iNet UI.
I have to bypass the UI and use UCI or edit repeater config file to connect.

Leaving my AXT1800 on 4.0.3 for now, everything works (and this setting is not there, so I am guessing defaults on).

If this is a regulatory issue, then I do not want to waste your time playing around with it. I can think of a couple of ways I can make it work - if I have to, enough for me. I have been spoiilt by the 4.x on AX1800/AXT1800

That is a regulatory issue indeed.

hello,
is there a plan to allow DFS scan in repeater mode on a1300? or do i need other hw?

alzhao · 2022-12-05T10:33:53.713Z

You can just use Luci I think.

lenovomi · 2022-12-05T11:38:47.892Z

@alzhao i dont get it, use Luci for what? thanks

alzhao · 2022-12-05T11:55:13.704Z

Use luci to configure repeater to connect DFS WiFi.

lenovomi · 2022-12-05T13:00:49.648Z

@alzhao

alzhao · 2022-12-05T13:12:02.855Z

It is already there.

lenovomi · 2022-12-05T16:19:00.050Z

Google is your friend.

wcs2228 · 2022-12-06T01:10:25.450Z

Try clicking on the Scan button next to radio1. It looks like the router WWAN is already connected as a client to SSID OpenWrt_5Ghz as a repeater.

I do not work for and I am not directly associated with GL.iNet
