Hi all There is a long standing issue in conjunction with mwl8k driver There is a thread on Linux WiFi mailing list about this topic: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg151171.html which come from an openwrt ticket: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/21284 The issue affect not only iOS device but also android device. However according to my investigation, I think it is not purely client releated, rather than bandwidth releated. It gets worse at higher bandwidth. And since everybody probably use more the smartphones for wifi video watch and such, that is why originally it has been reported as a client specific issue. Now The problem got worse in LEDE around the new year eve, when the transition between snaphots and official release bump the hostapd to 2.7 devel on a git pull around december. The problem now is so worse that it is almost impossible to use AP based on mwl8k for watching video. So, I compiled a git, clean (no LEDE patch) hostapd from the commit of 10 May 2017 and give a try with (and without) -dd. The results are the logs attached. The logs reports what happen ad hostapd level (the monitored -dd instance is on phy1 running on 5Ghz radio of marvell 88W8366). There are also the dmesg logs, where you can observe the classic logs when the throughput on wireless interface gets going up/down erratically. Unofortunately I am no pro in 802.11 so can someone give a look at the logs to check if there are any usefull information? The problem is there also without encryption and with WPA-EAP syslog1: https://pastebin.com/skbvaGRe syslog2: https://pastebin.com/UHVciK0e suslog3: https://pastebin.com/W6uFCdxQ dmesg: https://pastebin.com/sH6Q2NUg Thanks, bye _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
