GL-XE3000 Puli terrible repeater performance

Routers
1

I started noticing this issue on 4.7.4 firmware, but it's also happening on the 4.8 beta.

On a fresh reboot, the repeater speeds are normal and about 90% of the original network's speed. Then after a few hours to a day, the speed drops to <1mbps. There are also constant dropped connections, and even the admin panel randomly shows timeouts or lack of internet connection.

The logs are full of the following line:

I noticed several older threads have this same issue:

And more.

My primary use of this router is in repeater mode, so this is a very annoying issue. I would appreciate someone taking a look.

Hi,

Please SSH to the router, and execute the commands:

iwpriv rax0 show MibBucket

logread -f &
while true;do echo ----;iwpriv apclix0 show stainfo;echo ----;iwpriv apclix0 show stacountinfo;echo ----;iwpriv apclix0 show stat;echo ----;iwpriv apclix0 show MibBucket;echo ----;iwpriv apclix0 show mibinfo;echo ----;iwpriv apclix0 show tpinfo=0-2;echo ----;iwpriv apclix0 show vow_info;echo =======;sleep 3;done

When the repeater issue occurs, please copy the issue syslog and share with us.

May I know how do you test the Internet speed of XE3000?

I have saved logs from before, how can I send to you?

Should I run those commands now or after the problem occurs?

I use speedtest, but even loading basic sites like Google is noticeably slow when it happens. And voice calls will keep dropping.

Hello,

you can PM me the syslog through clink the personal icon and message there:

And please help us collect more information:
These commands are running on SSH. When the issue reproduces, please export syslog or copy the content in the SSH window and send it to me.

Is the XE3000 repeater connect to primary WiFi 5G or 2.4G?

If the PC is wired to XE3000, is it normal to access the admin panel and the Internet when this issue reproduced?

I sent you the logs. It depends on the hotel I'm in, but usually 2.4g.

The PC is also connected via wifi. The internet and admin panel remain acessible, but the speed is very slow and the connections often break,
