Can't connect to ath1 on WZR-HP-AG300H
« on: December 10, 2012, 08:29:30 PM »

I have had the WZR-HP-AG300H for a while, and I was able to use both the wireless interfaces without any problems.

 

Some time ago, perhaps after I have upgraded to 19154 firmware, the connection through ath1 stopped working for me. Unfortunately, I did not really pay attention to this, and I cannot tell when it happened.

 

I have tried all combination of settings. I also went ahead and run "erase nvram" using telnet in hopes that there was some pesky setting somewhere that was not reacting to my resets. Nothing helps. I have two macs, one with Lion and one with Mountain Lion. Both give me "A connection timeout occurred" error when trying to connect to ath1 (ath0 has no problems). If I turn on WPA2, Lion asks me for the password first, but Mountain Lion goes straight to the error. I am at a loss. I tried everything I could. I hope that someone here will have some advice. I am attaching some screenshots with my current configuration, but I have tried many more (including mixed mode, 20MHz channel width, no security, etc.).

I'd suggest setting your channel manually instead of auto, and use something above channel 40 as some devices have problems with channels below a certain threshold, i would try with the channels in the hundred ranges, then go down from there. Also use WPA2 personal with AES only.

Stupid question, but do your computers have 5 GHz radios in them?

Actually, one day everything just started to work without my intervention. Sometimes I hate computers. :)

Yes, all my mac laptops have 5GHz radios. Everything is working now, after not working for a few weeks. I am not sure what happned, but one day i decided to try again and it was a go. Perhaps my router was off for an extended period of time at some point, but this is the only thing that comes to mind.

I just resurrected my WZR-HP-AG300H from brickdom and installed OpenWRT. Guess what? My ath0 interface won't "enable" in my web interface! Maybe it is indeed an issue with the open source driver. Maybe I can roll it back. I'll let you know what I find out, but it may be a week or two...

 

Glad everything is working!

Sorry, correction: I meant my ath1 interface (the 5 GHz one).
