So, after nearly a week of investigation i can conclude: *The radio is fine!* The reason for this (and many other problems) was that piece of junk "Archer C6-Router".... With original OS, the problem was as described.... When flashing with OPENWRT, the problem was also, but was solved with fixing Wifi-Channel to 1 (instead of 11, which caused the problem) BUT: Beneath the radio, this router had massive problems with many of my further devices: Vacuum-Robot disconnected suddenly, LMS wasn´t able to play Internet-Radio, but local music was played without problems. Disconnection of mobile, no Internet on tablet an so on.... So, with original Firmware, there were problems.... and with OPENWRT, the were another problems.... So that device is unusable... i own(ed) the EU-Version. SO i throwed that box out of my house, and rewired my old TR841ND for a try: and everything worked like a charm, also the radio, no more problems anymore.... Today, i will replace that old buddy with a fritzbox 4040 to restore the intended 5 ghz wifi and 1gb lan, which i hoped to get with the archer.... But with the Fritzbox i think, there will never ever be problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ torbes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71664 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109953
