GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Keeps Disconnecting and Reconnecting to WWAN

My new GL-SFT1200 Opal keeps disconnecting and reconnecting to WWAN.

Unit is in Repeater Mode. I tried turning off the WiFi output since I am connecting the computer through the LAN interface. No change.

I upgraded the firmware to 4.3.7. No change.

I tried a different WiFi network (I have two at my house). No change.

I tried 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, No change.

I checked the S/N ratio through Luci. It was -87/0 db. I moved the GL-SFT1200 closer to the WiFi access point, dropping the S/N to -50/0. No change.

I can see it is disconnecting when I ping the WiFi access point it is connected to. I can also see it in the System Logs.

I also have laptops and WiFi clients that don’t have this issue.

Ping times to the access point are very long with the average being 75 msec. It should be about 5 msec.

I checked the forum for ideas, and came up with nothing more. I’m out of ideas.

I am posting the last sections of the logs.

So no response. Anyone?

I have now run hours of testing and I have come to the following conclusions.

  1. The WWAN radio suffers greatly from adjacent channel interference.
    2)_ The WWAN radio has a low capture ratio, meaning it suffers from the inability to reject weaker signals on the same frequency.
  2. When the WWAN radio encounters either of the two above conditions, it randomly and frequently disconnects, and then reconnects.

I rearranged my network so there were no overlapping signals, which is not something people can do when they are traveling and using the networks provided by others. Changing WiFi channels and changing channel widths on access points eliminated the disconnects and reconnects.

In my opinion, the radio on this unit should be to be redesigned. WiFi radios on just about any device are more capable in interference conditions.

Are you talking about WWAN or WLAN?

I am referring to WWAN. I am connected to Ethernet on the LAN side.

The issue is once it disconnects from the WWAN, it has to go through a long cycle to reconnect.

This morning I tried disabling MultiWAN tracking in the Network menu as suggested in another thread. It didn’t fix the problem.

The bottom line is you need a strong signal and little to no interference from other WiFi signals. I could get fairly reliable performance with a signal of -50 db and 0 db noise. If you have a -80 db signal like I have with one of my access points, then forget it. Most laptops and phones will outperform the radio in the Opal.

It is more than interference.
The WWAN connection will drop frequently when:

  • 1 there is more than one AP with the same SSID around, and BSSID Lock is not used (use advanced settings at first connect, and set BSSID Lock)
  • 2 there is more than one SSID in the known network list in the same or other band (remove the others)
  • 3 When the uplink AP is using MPDU aggregation, then packets with more than 32 MPDU are dropped (the IEEE 802.11 defines the limit at 64, not 32), causing disconnects
  • 4 When a disconnect occurs (and no fixed IP address was set, but eg DHCP) with mode=router, then all open sessions and NAT are dropped before reconnect, even when returning to the same AP and SSID.
