Nope.
2.4GHz is one SSD with mixed mode.
+one VAP on 2.4GHz with separate SSID.
5GHz WiFi is another SSID with AX Mode.
All differend passwords, no auto channel.
Came home a few minutes ago and my mobile was complaining about wrong password.
Was not able to reconnect. Other devices were still connected and could reconnect.
Restarting my mobile or router did not solve this.
Had to reenter the Password on my mobile, to connect to AX Network again.
Strange...
I also have this happen a few times per month. In my case it is a MX4300 WAP however. I attributed it to Android (Pixel 7a) bugs, but maybe not. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r60xxx

I dont know.
My Nothing Phone 2a sports Android 15 / Patchlevel 1st of May.
This is the first time I ever had to reenter a WiFi password.
But sometimes over the last few releases connecting to this very same WiFi took at least one or two minutes.
Maybe this is related?
But syslog does not show anything during those occasions. Just my mobile taking a looong time connecting.
This time it wasnt able to connect at all and started complaining about the password.
Any idea how to debug the ATH11k driver, related mechanisms like WPA and such via console if this happens again?

My MR7350 and Dynalink (both AX) both occasionally demand re-login from my iPhone. I've never actually had to actually do a login though. I just try reconnecting a time or two, cycling iOS wifi off/on first if necessary, until it succeeds. Have to try connecting more than once sometimes from Windows as well. _________________ On 61465: 3x Dynalink DL-WRX36, Linksys MX4200v2, 2x MR7350.

Since this only seems to affect my phone and never my wife's iPhone, and numerous other devices maintain their connections or can reconnect without issue, the evidence points to the phone being the bad player in this.

I am curious if you actually have a need for 60Ghz or just testing it? 60 Ghz was a one off attempt at an improvement to wifi which never caught on. How many devices even support this?
I am not testing any 60GHz device at all. Rather than having discovered the conflicting state of wifi light indicators on R9000. To answer your question.
On a related note, my understanding is that 802.11ay (also propagates on 60GHz) is expected to be more widely adopted due to its longer range + also backward compatible with 802.11ad (R9000). So the 60GHz on R9000 may find a renewed lease of life, on top of what it's being utilized at the moment.
But it's a different issue. Of course. _________________ Life is a journey; travel alone makes it less enjoyable and lonely.

I had to do this twice with two different Windows devices. Had to forget the network and reconnect to it again. First time was right after a reset/reconfig, so I assumed I missed something (but couldn't find anything). Second time was less explainable.

Since I have been playing a bunch with my network and several versions of devices, its on Android and windows, especially the recent updates (not ddwrt). Had a ton of problems with connections on the recently updated s24 and s22, meanwhile, the hasnt been updated in years hacked fire tablet connects fine each time. Windows is screaming dumpster fire with how it handles connections with the latest patches. using the windows gui it can be three connections behind...3....i mean thats impressive.
For android if its acting up, I just delete the config on the device cycle with wifi on and and off and redo it and it works fine. For windows...doing ipconfig release and renew will fix it or delete the config and redo it. It might tell you it wont work for a minute or two..while you are connected and its working fine.
The takeaway is the 3 or 4 yo nonupdated device works great....lol

Issues/Errors:
wlan0 was not RUNNING (ifconfig) after the flash boot, (Edit) and the flash set Autochannel and 80 MHz BW. I had a fixed channel set at 40 MHz BW. Came up OK after correcting and rebooting.
During flash a memory note appeared (as @Alozaros has mentioned re other builds):

No other flash problems were apparent. Minor note: Before flashing I had two ethX interfaces assigned to br1. Afterwards these became lan3 and lan4 in The Great Renaming and the two assignments became two assigments of lan4 to br1. The duplicate assigments were ignored, and all four lans showed in br0 still, until I corrected one of the lan4 assigments to lan3, which fixed everything.
It's only been up a couple hours so far, so we shall see. I'll post again if anything interesting develops. I'll be doing some serious testing and checking with things under a microscope for the next couple of days.
The Dynalink crowd has moved towards /tmp/firmware.bin to dodge the not-enough-memory thing, but likely the same "error" (if it really is one) appears there as well but ends up in /dev/null. _________________ On 61465: 3x Dynalink DL-WRX36, Linksys MX4200v2, 2x MR7350.

Update of the post just above re Dynalink DL-WRX36.
The only significant new info is that after some days of operation with overnight reboots programmed as is my usual practice, I'm seeing that more often than not, the 5G wifi fails to start during boot. So "ifconfig wlan1" will show RUNNING, but "ifconfig wlan0" will not.
I verified this behavior by adding this to Startup:
Then each morning I'd have a look with grep -i wifirestarter /var/log/messages in the ssh CLI and usually but not always find that wlan0 had been restarted, but never more than once per day (making the 1m sleep interval pointless... a temporary diagnostic).
There's nothing exotic in my wlan0 setup. It's as it has been since I got the Dynalink last summer, a fairly ordinary "Mixed" setup. That mode does differ from wlan1, where I use "AX / AC / N Mixed" instead. I'd have used the latter for wlan0 as well if it were available, as I have no prehistoric B or G devices. _________________ On 61465: 3x Dynalink DL-WRX36, Linksys MX4200v2, 2x MR7350.

Nope. nvram vars wlan*_ssid_protection are all zero. I've never had any idea what that feature is so have not been tempted to move from defaults. _________________ On 61465: 3x Dynalink DL-WRX36, Linksys MX4200v2, 2x MR7350.
