Title: 5 Ghz network down...
Post by: Yves_fr on May 06, 2017, 02:14:39 PM
Hello everybody,

on my dap 1665, I've 2 networks (AP mode).
A first one at 2.4 GHz and a second at 5 GHz (wlan0).
The 2.4 GHz works well but randomly (let's say one time a day), the 5 GHz is down, i.e. my labtop and tablet can no longer detect it.
After a reboot, the connection is restored.
On the dap log appears alway the same item just before the breakdown: "wlan0: A STA is deleted by application program".

5 GHz network:
Channel Width: Auto 20/40/80MHz
Channel: 40
Security Mode: AUTO (WPA or WPA2)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup: Enable /Configured

May you help me?
Yves

Many thanks for your fast reply.

Hardware: A1
Firmware: v1.16b01
Region: Europe

Has this DAP been working with the laptop and tablet before?
Yes
SSID:
they have been changed from the defaut (dlink), different between 2.4 and 5 GHz and they are unique (I use wifi analyser to check the neighbouring).
wireless mode: AP

I will follow your other instructions for the futur:
Single AC (I was on N and AC mode)
Manual channel 48 (the mode was auto)
WPA2/AES (I was on auto and TKIP/AES)
Drivers of devices with wifi are updated.
I have a cordless house phone near my dap but the frequency used is around 1.9 GHz.
I use wifi analyser and I've no problem with others wifi routers.

Again thank a lot for your advice.
Yves

I would keep any electronics away from the DAP. At least 4-6 feet away.

Let us know if the changes suggestion help any...

Hi all,

I have the same problem with DAP-1665 HW Rev A Firmware 1.16b01

While i was reading the german support-page, i saw there is a information/note/hint next to the firmware version 1.14b06-01.
In german: "Sollte das 5GHz WLAN Ihres DAP-1665 immer mal wieder ausfallen, installieren Sie bitte diese Firmware in Ihren DAP-1665."
Translated to english: "If the 5GHz WLAN of your DAP-1665 is going down repeatedly, then please install this firmware on your DAP-1665"

If i understand this statement correctly, then there is a know issue in FW 1.16b01 related to 5GHz which is currently unresolved.

The firmware 1.14b06-01 is not available anymore on the international support-page.

I hope this will resolve your issue as well.

Best regards

Let us know if v1.14 fw helps resolve your problem. To apply the FW, do a factory reset of the DAP, manually load the FW file using IE11 or FF browser, factory reset the DAP once more then set up from scratch.
