Hello all!
(I'm a new user of OpenWRT, so maybe I'm wrong or I've
missconfigured the router, so please point me in the right direction
if I've did something wrong.)
I've installed a few days ago OpenWRT Backfire (10.03,
wrt54g-squashfs.bin) on a Linksys WRT54-GL v1.1. (Previously I had a
DD-WRT 24.SP1.) And since I've installed it I have the following
stability problem: when under heavy TCP load (generated by bittorrent,
about 300 simultaneously connections with about 2MB (as in mega
octets) aggregated bandwidth) the wireless connection just dies, and I
have to reboot the router. If I try to reconnect to the wireless it
doesn't work without that reboot. (I use WPA2.)
Now it seems that this happens every time, so I bet there is
something wrong in my setup (either a bug in a daemon, or
missconfiguration, but I would lean towards a bug...) :)
Also what is strange is that when this happens if I try to connect
through wire, everything works fine (except the wlan which still stays
dead) (how can I restart the `hostapd`?). I've runned bittorrent for
about two days through the wired connection and it still works fine.
Also if I look into the `syslog` or `dmesg` nothing weird is reported
(except a line in `dmesg` about the fact that my laptop was detached
from wlan due to a request from the client, which I didn't.)
So any ideas of what is wrong here? Thanks,
Ciprian.
P.S.: When I've first installed OpenWRT I've tried to get into the
"fail-safe mode", but it seems that it doesn't work: I've waited until
the DMZ led blinks, pressed reboot button, but the power led then
flashes endlessly and I can't connect to the telnet on my router.
(I've manually configured the appropriate IP on my laptop for the
wired connection.) Strange?
