I’m using a MT1300 since 1 month now, but I’m having some stability issues.
It’ s configured as follow :
wwan connected to the main wifi in 5ghz
wireless AP in 2.4 and 5ghz with guest wifi disabled
wireguard client configured with VPN policies enabled
all VPN policies options enabled
button configured for wireguard client toggle
DNS and mtu adjusted on luci
I need to restart it 1 or 2 times per day. Most of the times the router’s blue light is blinking.
Sometimes the light is steady white, but there is no connection. I need to switch the button wait for the connection without the vpn and put back the switch to have the connection with the vpn working.
Sometimes the web interface is not starting after reboot or stops working after some time.
Can it be related to the configuration, or is there any known instability with this product ?
DNS is setup as followed:
LAN (from luci)
use custom dns : 8.8.8.8
DHCP-Options : 6,8.8.8.8
wireguard interface dns : 91.121.161.184
Today after running fine for 3 days, when coming back home led was breathing blue.
web interface is down (site not reachable)
ssh is working.
Connected through ssh this is the result of test : root@GL-MT1300:~# ping 8.8.8.8
100% packet loss
root@GL-MT1300:~# ping -I wg0 8.8.8.8
100% packet loss

Internet access is working from apcli0, but when trying to ping the wireguard server without specifying the interface, each time, the first ping is working and then ping stop with the error : operation not permitted.
When restarting the web interface : root@GL-MT1300:~# /etc/init.d/lighttpd start
The WireGuard client menu appear with an orange circle and the main button is in red saying “Abort”
After disconnecting the wireguard vpn from the web interface and then connect it again, internet access is working back. root@GL-MT1300:~# ping aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd # public ip of the wireguard server
64 bytes from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd seq=0 ttl=116 time=137.819 ms
