Unfortunately, since a few builds, clients cannot see the AP any more when Wireless encryption is active.
All clients (different brands) cannot see the Wifi Router any more
It seems the bug has been introduced with 12-21-2019-r41771. Build 12-10-2019-r41686 still works fine. For all later builds, Wifi is not visible if encryption active.
Router Model: TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1
CPU Model: Atheros AR9344 ver 1 rev 1.2 (0x2122)
Wireless Chipset: AR934x 802.11n WiSOC
Wireless mode: AP (ath0 + ath1)
Encryption: WPA Personal + AES
Logfiles attached
This is my experience as well with the latest build that works for my TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1 being Build 12-10-2019-r41686
which isnt normal anyway, compare that to latest kong build, his has WAY less cpu. same as kong or BS k3.18 builds, but as usual BS doesnt believe k4.x broke ipq806x in multiple ways.. (including ondemand scaling, thresholds still dont fix it properly)

i dont know what that test is but wifi shows it and is affected even worse, especially when transmitting to devices. simple speedtest and looking at top output clearly shows it, thats how bad it is dont even have to dig for it. 86% idle on kong vs 50% idle on bs when pushing 315mbps to 1 device (any device).. and thats bridged too, the router is doing nothing but being an access point. if u have a (802.11ac) mobile device that has "wifi" sweetspots app, that will be ur friend in easily testing this and cpu load scaling and how it cripples even local performance etc..
(im always on performance, no amount of ondemand tweaking gets it the same as perf/k3.18 levels, always worse no matter) _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

My Router is in the normal "gateway" mode.
I measured the values per iperf3 between my Linux PC (1 GBit/s LAN) and my Pixel 3a XL (Qualcomm SDM670 Wave2 2x2 MIMO) with the command "iperf3 -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -P12 -t 60" or recursive with "iperf3 -Rc xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -P12 -t 60"
the other test (mbw) is a small tool to measure the memory bandwidth :

That seems to be exactly my experience (Router: TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1).
so what version do you use now? _________________ TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1

Build 12-10-2019-r41686 should work
5GHz on r41686 is disaster. It keeps restarting. After some tests 36808M is the best in respect of stability/speed. Thanks anyway _________________ TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1

Excellent results on a WR1043ND V2.1.
Having said this, I use V3 FW on V2.1 HW. Is this OK
or should I use V2 FW instead?
i can see reading and understanding problem....here
v2 firmware is only for 1043v2.1
v3 firmware is only for 1043v3
as they could have different hardware, you must not use different firmware's.... as this can brick your device...
I suggest from now long you use v2 for 1043v2 ...
I guess you are not that clever to try v5, thinking this is the last firmware for 1043....do you?? _________________ Atheros

it shoulds good values. but its a memory bandwidth test
and 50% idle (i have more idle, but who knows) is still 50% idle and unused. i get 800 mbit/s right now _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking? Sounds like a Mac to me.." - Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_5YDRWqGE&t=60s

there is no function which restarts wifi. client compatiblity issue? so is just your client disconnecting while the ap is still there? _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

anyway. even if i dont have problems with disconnecting client. there was a powersave related change recently. i modified the driver again a little bit with the hope it will make it better _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

have u yet tried kong's last ddwrt build for ipq806x? the difference is night and day, something with cpu/cache/mem freq is BROKEN in kernel 4.1 ~ 4.19, and openwrt knows all about it now and trying to fix.
or compare ur last k3.18 build to the first k4.x build for r7800 when u switched kernels. i dont know how u can still not believe this issue exists, everything that touches the cpu is amplified in excess usage over normal. a single 80mhz 2x2 device at the same speeds on for example, a dir-862L, that single core 720mhz mips cpu has LESS usage (and latency) than a ipq806x5 going at the same throughput...... _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)
