As it is working, I don't need to test based on the same config.

On our other model (e.g. AXT1800) when repeating an channel 165 wifi we have similar problem. But that problem was fixed in the latest firmware and does not happen on E750. So that is why I asked to check the content of /etc/config/wireless.

Next time when you have problems can you pls send the wireless config.

i do the firmware upgrade.
now everything about wireguard in LuCI is hidden :frowning:

after install, it was notworking. No Internet, so i can't read your message.

After restart radio 1 in LuCI it, it was working.
here in pictures - does it help?

Try to set Band-Selection to 2.4GHz instead of Auto.
Channel 36 with 80MHz bandwidth on 5GHz seems to be ok, in fact it will be channel 42. This channel is without DFS.
I would recommend to lower the power from max to high or medium if possible.

27

Are you in US or DE? Check your country-code in LUCI.

28

Hello,

I have now set it to 2.4 GHz.
In LuCI, the current WLAN was set to US, but I am in Germany.
However, this cannot be the problem because at home in US my network is set to US, and there I encountered the same problems as at all other locations.
5GHz was actually important to me because it is significantly faster.

After a restart, the repeater function worked immediately, but now Wireguard in LuCI is not working at all again.
No information in the log, restarting the interface doesn't help either. And I once again have no access to work and can't work.
Currently, I am quite disappointed with the product!

29

The router is now set entirely to 2.4GHz for both the WLAN and the repeater function.

After the restart, it has automatically connected to the existing WLAN here in all three tests.

Wireguard seems to have a different bug:
If the target of the first configured tunnel cannot be resolved via DNS, the other tunnels are not set up at all, or even attempted. Normally, you would expect each tunnel to be tried individually, rather than stopping if there is a DNS error with one tunnel.

Now back to the topic:
How do I switch back to 5GHz or dual?
I would like to keep the transmission power at maximum, or even more, since the router's range is already pretty poor at maximum.

30

In the default UI there is option, right?

For the wireguard, as you configured in luci manually, I cannot really help.
Is there anything that you cannot achieve using the default UI?

31

Yes, it's all mentioned above.
I would like to switch back to using 5GHz.

But you told me to disable it, which I did. Therefore, I don't quite understand the response.
