Hi there.

I am trying to enable Beamforming on my router, but when i apply changes the radio changes the channel as Unknown.

There was a topic 2 years ago, but i see it didn't fix the problem.

I'm using v.43516 and tested with factory settings and it shown the same problem.


SU beamforming un-ticked in 5GHZ worked ok and broadcast with radio channel, but without range improvement technology.

Does anyone know how to fix the problem,bug, issue?

Unfortunately I have not found a fix for this yet. I've been hopeful for a couple years now that maybe the next firmware will fix this, but it never does. If I want to use the 5GHz radio, I've learned to live with the fact that beamforming cannot be used. I've even tried a brand new clean config, but as soon as I turn beamforming on, the 5 radio channel goes to "unknown" and stops broadcasting. I have the same hardware as you, a 1200AC v1.

I once captured the following dmesg output when the radios are reset showing that ath0 (5GHz radio) goes into disabled state and never enters forwarding state like the rest of the interfaces:

[ 184.961790] br0: port 1(eth1) entered learning state
[ 198.725730] br1: port 1(ath0) entered blocking state
[ 198.730725] br1: port 1(ath0) entered disabled state
[ 198.735867] device ath0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 198.781834] device ath0 left promiscuous mode
