Hi, I've just received a GL-AR300M16 (300M Mini Smart Router) that has been configured in Luci as Wi-Fi client, to allow the two bridged physical ports (LAN + WAN) to connect to the Internet through the Wi-Fi interface.
Firmware is the latest 4.3.18 with OpenWrt 22.03.4 r20123-38ccc47687 / LuCI openwrt-22.03 branch git-23.093.57104-ce20b4a.
All is working well, apart from restoring a backup of my configuration: as soon as I restore the .tar.gz file, the wireless Associated Stations list is cleared and the device cannot connect to the Wi-Fi, at least until I go to Network > Wireless, hit Scan, rejoin my network, write in the WPA passphrase, save and Save & Apply.
My question is: why does restoring the backup erases my Wi-Fi settings every time? I've checked the contents of the .tar.gz file and the config/wireless file has this content:
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/ahb/18100000.wmac'
option band '2g'
option channel 'auto'
option htmode 'HT40'
option cell_density '0'
option country 'IT'
config wifi-iface 'wifinet0'
option ssid 'WIFIRD'
option encryption 'psk2'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'sta'
option key 'redacted_password'
option network 'wwan'
And this is config/glconfig:
config service 'general'
option mode 'router'
list track_ipv6 '2001:4860:4860::8844'
list track_ipv6 '2001:4860:4860::8888'
list track_ipv6 '2620:0:ccd::2'
list track_ipv6 '2620:0:ccc::2'
list track_ip '1.1.1.1'
list track_ip '8.8.8.8'
list track_ip '208.67.222.222'
list track_ip '208.67.220.220'
option inited '1'
option autotimezone '1'
option wan2lan '1'
Then, after restoring and rebooting, the wireless LED is not red anymore (but switched off) and I cannot reach the device from the Wi-Fi. I've tried inspecting via SSH on the LAN port and this is the message log in this situation (so, with the Wi-Fi settings just lost):

I'm not an expert, but I think the "offending" line is this one:
Fri Nov 22 10:12:14 2024 daemon.info lua: (...07/ipkg-mips_24kc/gl-sdk4-repeater/usr/sbin/repeater:477) delete sta from /etc/config/wireless
The wireless settings file confirms the missing part of the configuration (from above):
root@GL-AR300M:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/ahb/18100000.wmac'
option band '2g'
option channel 'auto'
option htmode 'HT40'
option cell_density '0'
option country 'IT'
But, if I rejoin the Wi-Fi network in the Luci web-UI and hit Save & Apply, it changes like so:
root@GL-AR300M:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/ahb/18100000.wmac'
option band '2g'
option channel 'auto'
option htmode 'HT40'
option cell_density '0'
option country 'IT'
config wifi-iface 'wifinet0'
option ssid 'WIFIRD'
option encryption 'psk2'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'sta'
option key 'redacted_password'
option network 'wwan'
i.e. exactly the same of the one inside the .tar.gz file.
I tried several times, also by re-creating the backup, but every time I cannot reach the device via Wi-Fi after restoring it. Do you have any hints?
Unfortunately I need to do the restore procedures a lot of times because I have to give the device to other people that have to start configuring it from this base, but they need to do it from the wireless interface and this "bug" prevents from doing so...
