Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2021 10:27 Post subject: WDR3600 No wifi
I have a Tplink WDR3600v1 running almost latest DD-WRT v3.0-r47381. It was previously running openwrt 3 years old.
now radios aren't working properly. I don't see any wifi signal on laptop or mobile devices.

Well everything seems to work (based on the screenhots)
but 161+165 is a bad channel
161 is the primary channel
165 is the 40Mhz extension channel
and this is more or less not a valid configuration
161+157 would be a better configuration
and that some clients can't see the channels doesn't surprise me either, the firmware of the clients must support at least UNII+3 and not all clients support all channels
so better test the lower channels and start with 36

I can't see 2.4Ghz wifi either. It is on Channel 9.
Yes I had issue with channel 36-40 on my other router Asus RT-AC68U running tomato 2021.5 , mobile clients could not connect. _________________ Upgraded to

Well the site survey searchs for accesspoints
only AP in master mode send beacons frames
Stations / Clients do not send beacons frames and therefore can not be found
The site survey search is also radio specific and you have searched only with 2,4Ghz / wlan0

you will not find your own dd-wrt router in the site survey
you have selected USA as regulatory domain
they only have wifi channels 1-11 in the united states
the modem could also be on channel 12-13 - who knows / not enough information

network mode should be N/G-mixed and autochannel should certainly be disabled for now

I am in office, I do have access to my tomato router using tail-scale subnet feature.
I did a site survey and my main router/ftth modem is on wifi channel 7.
I will change network mode to N/G-mixed and set the channel to 7. will report again. _________________ Upgraded to
