GL-MT3000 keeps disconnecting from router in repeater mode

Hostname GL-MT3000
Model GL.iNet GL-MT3000
Architecture ARMv8 Processor rev 4
OpenWrt Version OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT
Kernel Version 5.4.211

I am connecting to a guest house router, the router is outside my room, the status light on the router is green, I can connect to the router directly. I have the same Jio fibre router at home.

Sometimes the GL-MT3000 status light is solid white and the interface shows the the router is connected to the guest house WiFi. Sometimes it is flashing blue, sometimes it alternates between these two.

Often powering it up whilst holding the reset button for a short time gets it to work again. I have already reset the router and set it up again during the trip.

I am not using a VPN in the router.

The power here goes out multiple times a day so I don’t want to do a firmware reset.

I used it before on another trip in a different country and it worked flawlessly.

Gemini examined the logs:

Primary Observations from Logs:

Interface Shutdowns: The system.log shows multiple instances where the wireless interfaces (ra0 and rax1) are explicitly being brought down with CMD_RTPRIV_IOCTL_VIRTUAL_INF_DOWN and DEINIT commands.

Beacon Failures: Immediately before the link goes down, the kernel reports that the "BSS is not ready" during beacon updates. This typically indicates the router is losing synchronization with the parent AP or the driver is crashing/restarting.

  • MLD Clamping Warnings: There are frequent "IPv6: MLD: clamping QRV" warnings throughout the logs. While often non-critical, a high frequency of these can sometimes correlate with network instability or configuration conflicts in the bridge.

Local Service Failures: During the disconnection events, local services like the GL-iNet UI (gl-ngx-session) report Connection refused when trying to reach internal components, suggesting a momentary system-wide hang or service restart.

Hi

Could you please provide or clarify the following:

  1. What is the GL firmware version on the MT3000? You can find it in Admin Panel → System → Upgrade.
  2. Are you currently using the original power adapter for the MT3000, or another adapter that supports 5V/3A? If not, please see if you can switch to one that meets this requirement.
  3. After the issue occurs (for example, after trying to connect to the problematic Wi-Fi a few times), please export the device logs and send them to us via private message so we can analyze them.
  1. Version4.8.1
  2. Firmware Typerelease8

I am using the supplied white adapter.

Could you export the logs after the issue occurs and send them to us via private message so we can analyze them?
