Hello,
I have a couple of GL-ATX1800 running latest (v4.7.0 firmware) unites which I am using to connect couple AP at two locations. The AP is HPE Aruba Networking running at 5GHz only and in both cases ATX1800 is about 15-20 feet away from AP in straight line (no obstacles). The firmware was upgraded and 1800 was reset to factory settings as I always do after upgrade.
The ATX1800 is running in Repeater mode 5G / DFS (under Internet tab on the left panel). Also I have my MacOS plugged in to LAN1 port. At random times I do loose connectivity to internet. I do not think it is a WiFi issue, since while testing I have Terminal open and I am pinging 192.168.8.1 which is the default ip of the ATX1800. When I do loose connection, I see that ping stops working
64 bytes from 192.168.8.1: icmp_seq=8244 ttl=64 time=1.111 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.8.1: icmp_seq=8245 ttl=64 time=1.075 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.8.1: icmp_seq=8246 ttl=64 time=0.817 ms
ping: sendto: No route to host
Request timeout for icmp_seq 8247
ping: sendto: No route to host
Request timeout for icmp_seq 8248
ping: sendto: No route to host
Request timeout for icmp_seq 8249
Of course, I can't login to the web page, making me think the device possibly reboots itself. Same behavior on both ATX1800. After some time +/- 30 sec, ping starts working and I can connect to web page, and when I do quickly login, I see there Repeater ssd reconnecting to AP.
I am attaching the System and Kernel log. Does someone spots anything unusual or adjustment I should do? Or provide additional information?

I had the same issues, reverted back to 4.6.11.
Yup, I just ssh to the atx1800 after such event happens and the unit is back online, and checking uptime, looks like the device rebooted itself.
$ uptime
09:55:43 up 10 min, load average: 1.00, 0.92, 0.54
And the device is powered for past few days.
Question to the support: Is this known issue for some users? Are you aware of this?
Can I provide any additional logs, configurations?
Tx
Revert back to 4.7 RC release 7, works great stable for more than a week. Final version is a disaster
I just checked the download page Stable Firmware and the Beta tab is not available. And I do not see the RC listed. Is there a link where I could download it which you could share?
The one I am using is openwrt-axt1800-4.7.0-0319-1742353146.tar, Size: 64873286
Tx
The file name is: openwrt-ax1800-4.7.0-0213-1739433434.tar try to google it maybe you can find it
I look at a third router of the same model, which also is running the same final firmware version and uptime is good on it. The only difference that I could spot between the other two is "Network Acceleration" is turned off.
Could this be a reason for this behavior? I will disable it on other routers and see if the disconnections do go away (or reboot as I should say)
Tx
Looks like after turning off the "Network Acceleration" in latest 4.7.0, did improve connection stability over all. So the issue seems to be related to this setting.
Does anyone have information, what exactly or which parts are accelerated?
Network acceleration reduces CPU load and speeds up traffic packet forwarding, but can conflict with some features.
When Network acceleration is enabled, the following functions will not work properly: Client Speed and Traffic Statistics, Client Speed Limit,Parent Control.
What are the conflict with some features in addition to will not work properly list.
Like to understand it a bit more? Maybe link to github source file?
Tx
I have network acceleration enabled and no issues on the RC version
Could you point me at instructions for reverting? I’m having a very similar issue. Previously the router was rock solid.
Goto GL.iNet download center and choose your device from the dropdown and download the 4.6.X version you want.
Log into your router and goto system ==> Upgrade and click on "local upgrade" tab.
Click or select the firmware for your device that you downloaded and it will downgrade for you. You will lose your settings as 4.7 settings are not downgradable, write them down if you don't remember them. After doing it 4 times, I got good at it.. lol
