Hi,
After 2 days of testing with ifconfig ath0_wlan0 -ampdutx I must say
that the situation has not improved. The system is running exactly the
same way like before which regards the stability. I have a lot of stuck
beacon messages as well. When normally WiFi is not working then from my
laptop I can see the ssid, I can connect (but it always connect with
15mbps) and disconnect from it but by pinging the router I am not
receiving reply. I think the WiFi became unstable after I generate a
heavy traffic by my torrent client from my laptop.

Hi,
yes - this'll hurt performance, but I'm more interested in whether
disabling ampdutx affects performance/stability. If disabling AMPDU TX
(but leaving AMPDU RX enabled) reduces the instability/stuck beacons
then I have more useful information.

Hi,
* dev.ath.0.hal.force_full_reset=1 <- its already setup, this is nothing to
do with the ability to connect with my devices to the wifi, but it helps me
to have a smoother download - without this I have interruptions (spikes)
when I download - so its a good thing.
Then I tried:
# ifconfig ath0_wlan0 -ampdutx but it hurts my download speeds. Without this
I achieve download speeds like 15-17MB/sec but when this is active I've got
only 3MB/sec. Also, I don't know if my wifi is stable with this setting on,
I need more days to check :)

Hi,
I am using pfsense 2.2.2 at home. I have a computer dedicated to be a
home router which contains a PCI slot wireless adapter with Atheros 9227
chipset. The model of the wireless adapter is TP-Link TL-WN51ND and it has
two antennas. This comply with IEEE 802.11n, and provides wireless speed up
to 300Mbps according to the manufacturer.
This adapter was recognized well by pfsense and I have setup with ease in
"N" using channel 3 - I live in a crowded neighborhood and I saw that nobody
is using channel 3. With this settings the wifi is working fine one or two
days but after that I have to do something like "ifconfig ath0 down |
ifconfig ath0 up" to work again a couple of days more. The issue is that
from my laptop or phones I can see my wifi but I cant connect. I also
receive a lot of "ath0 stuck beacon resetting" messages in pfsense. For a
couple of weeks I changed back to "G" mode to see if its stable and its
working perfectly stable with no ath0 stuck beacon messages at all!
I really would like to use in "N" because of greater download speeds but
I'm lazy to go every time in front of the router and type ifconfig ath0
down/up every time. So please advise me what can I do, or check or setup.
Kind regards,
Hi,
So:
* Set dev.ath.0.hal.force_full_reset=1 ; see if that helps
* Since 11n is not working but 11g does, it may be something to do
with using 11n features. 11n is always /configured/ in the NIC. So,
try doing this:
# ifconfig wlan0 -ampdutx
.. to disable AMPDU transmit. See if that makes it behave differently.
