GL-MT300N-V2 show up LEDE

Technical Support for Routers

Is this a firmware bug?

GL-MT300N-V2, v4.3.18

-After booting, I can see wifi with SSID as LEDE
-After a short while, LEDE disappears and the SSID I set appears, but it disconnects immediately.
-After a while, I see the SSID of LEDE again. It appears as if something crashed and is rebooting.

Even after resetting and making the necessary settings again, it comes back at some point. The setup is a router but nothing on the WAN side, there is a switch hub on the LAN side and a few fixed IP devices on the same subnet.

Is there any solution for this?

The firmware of MT300N-V2 is written based on OpenWRT, not LEDE codes, so it seems impossible to appear the LEDE SSID.

  1. Please check the firmware of your MT300N-V2.
  2. Please upgrade it to GL latest firmware, v4.3.10.

I get the same on both of my GL-MT300N-V2 upon bootup.
@bruce all of the LEDE improvements and features were merged into Openwrt in 2018. The merged project uses the code base of the former LEDE project.
So thank you for confirming LEDE shows up in the ID_LIKE

Why should @kuniyoshimegane downgrade from 4.3.18 to 4.3.10?

Wow, thank you! Got this issue deep info.

Do you also find the LEDE SSID broadcast in few second of the bootup?

Yes, on both units on 4.3.18
It turns up halfway through the boot process, you can even connect to the LEDE ssid but have no internet connection, so it seems tied to the radio bring up process with the radio.
Do you want a system log?

Maybe it will be easier to find in a relatively clean WIFI environment.

There are too many WIFIs around me, and didn’t notice the SSID keyword LEDE in the WIFI list.

There shouldn't be a need for syslog.

The SSID: LEDE definitely comes from this router. I have checked many times.

The problem is that when this LEDE SSID appears, the router cannot be used properly and looks keeps rebooting. I cannot even access the configuration page. When this happens, the only way is to long press the RESET button to reset system.

Interesting, what's the power of the power supply you're using it with?

I will submit this issue to the R&D team for analysis. Thanks.

Hi, any update?
I have tested both version of 4.3.18 and 4.3.10, and both will show up LEDE ssid when bootup.
And another thing is, is the bootup time more than 2 min?
I had to wait 2min15s from power on until I can see the login page, every time, is that normal?

I've got the same boot up times, the whole thing is completely unoptimised for the Mango.

I can confirm that it definitely happens every boot up.
Didn't care much but it's pretty interesting that this was an unknown issue.

MT3000 also has similar symptoms, but at least seems it's known to the devs.

It takes longer than average, but felt it's normal. I've never ever seen any other vendor provide that plenty of features into a such low-end hardware and supports this long.

And TP-Link ER series which also based on OpenWrt take significantly longer boot up time, so I didn't felt it's unusual.

I gather you don't see this on the op24 firmware for the MT3000?

This would then mean the Openwrt SDK is to blame.

18

I have no idea because haven't tried the op24 RC or any other vanilla build yet, but if they use an open source driver then I guess the SSID may not be broadcast. (Currently I really don't know about the driver differences yet)

I'll try the op24 RC on my spare MT3000s when I have time and then share the result.

Does anyone know how does the Mango with a vanilla build? Does it broadcast the "LEDE" when boot up?

About the LEDE SSID, R&D will check the issue. Please have a wait.
