Comment (by thx):

 I am seeing a problem with the EA3500 which might be related or have the
 same underlying cause.  For what it's worth, I am looking at this from a
 different perspective, so might be useful.  I have several laptops that
 associate with the EA3500 which seem to work normally, but then I have
 one, a Toshiba Satellite running a Realtek RTL8188CE using the rtl8192ce
 and nl80211 drivers, which reacts badly.  I note that the dmesg log has
 [   11.638789] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc'
 and I'm not sure where that rate control is operating, in the firmware, or
 in some kernel module, or in userspace.

 The problem is easiest to see running ping from a machine with a wire
 connection to the access point, pinging the laptop.  Every four to eight
 seconds, the ping response hangs for about four seconds, and then all the
 ping replies are returned in a burst.  No pings are dropped.  On the
 access point, "iw wlan0 station dump" shows "tx retries: 0" and "tx
 failed:  0".  Running tcpdump on the laptop, it seems to respond
 immediately whenever it receives an echo request.  It just does not get
 the request during the "hangs".  But running tcpdump on the access point,
 the echo requests are seen passing through wlan0 at regular intervals.  I
 have not looked at the actual RF, so I don't know if the packets are
 really going over the air or not.  Still, it is as if there were a buffer
 of echo requests filling-up at the access point, and then "dumping" after
 four seconds or so.

 Now, it seems there is an effective and inexplicable workaround for this
 periodic "hang".  If I run ping on the *laptop*, and at the same time ping
 from the remote machine, the ping hangs at the remote machine completely
 disappear, and all the ping times average around 1ms.

 The EA3500 is running the Marvell 88W8366 Integrated MAC/Baseband MIMO SoC
 with the 88W8063 MIMO RF Transceiver, and the driver is the mwl8k, which
 then depends upon mac80211 and cfg80211, and then upon the compat module.
 The 88W8366 firmware does its own rate control.  It is hard to say if the
 "problem" is in the access point or in the laptop, since they mostly act
 badly together.  But I did try the same ping test using the older Belkin
 N1, "F5D8231-4 v2" radio, which also has a Marvel chip set, the 88W8361,
 but running their own driver.  There is a similar effect, except that the
 "hangs" are all on the order of about 900ms instead of 4000ms, and still
 completely disappear when running ping from the laptop.  Perhaps there is
 some common problem in the Marvell firmware?

 I hope all that might spark some ideas, since my workaround is such a
 hack.

Comment (by lordgilman):

 Ok, did some more testing with stock hostapd but wpa_group_rekey turned
 down to 15 seconds.  I classified the rekeys as bad (where it exhausts all
 of the rekey timeouts and disconnects), good (rekeys on the first try) and
 slow (takes more than one rekey).

 The baseline:
 Bad: 5 (12%)
 Good: 18 (44%)
 Slow: 18 (44%)

 While doing this test I noticed that it seemed like a timeout that was
 going to be bad (disconnect) might turn into a slow rekey if data was sent
 over the network.  So I tried the test again, but with video streaming on
 the phone so there would be constant data being sent:

 Constant data:
 Bad: 0
 Good: 25 (77%)
 Slow: 9 (26%)

 So a much better improvement.  Seems to be related to some sort of
 buffering on the phone - something about the AP + the phone is making it
 aggressively buffer data and not wake up to respond to these EAPOLs.  I
 might try to see if disconnects keep happening without any WPA encryption
 at all next.  I did dig around in the offending phone and there isn't any
 sort of low power or power saving functionality enabled that I could see
 causing it to buffer like this.

Comment (by wooshcz@…):

 I have rebuilt the hostapd with eapol_key_timeout_subseq = 10s yesterday,
 but the timeouts/drops did not disappear. The issue persists on two
 Android phones - OnePlus X and LG Nexus 5X. Both devices behave a bit
 differently. It seems that the OnePlus now works almost without a glitch,
 but the Nexus' WiFi still timeouts and stops working completely for a few
 minutes.

 I'm running build 49871 with modified hostapd since yesterday. I'll try to
 post more info after some more testing.

 Hi,

 I also have issues with my ea4500. Just had a look at my stock bootlog,
 and as far as I can see, the stock fw uses ap8x module instead of mwl8k. I
 don't really see any package definition for ap8x. any thoughts what ap8x
 is?

Comment (by anonymous):

 I have the same issue with my EA3500 and my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone.
 I tried to sniff wifi communication between my phone and the router and
 tried to log hostapd messages and got the same result as above (EAPOL-Key
 timeout).

 When the router says it is sending "1/2 msg of Group Key Handshake"
 there's no communication between the router and the phone.

 yea, thanks for your work on this, lordgilman. All i can offer at this

 thanks for following up on this, lordgilman.  I've been seeing the same
 thing on my EA4500, DD trunk, using 2013 MacBook Pro and iPhone 6s as

 disabling encryption but still got the dropouts.

Comment (by lordgilman):

 Ok, I built wpad with increased timeouts.  I also brought down the
 interval between GTK rekeys to make this easier to test.  The rekey
 success rate was pretty good but there were still a few nasty drops.  I
 managed to get this capture for one of them.  The syslog with timestamps
 is first, the hostapd debug log is second:

Comment (by lordgilman):

 I've been working with the author of the EA3500's wireless driver on the
 linux-wireless mailing list.  You can see the latest message in our
 correspondence here:

 http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=146752644907945

 I've recompiled hostapd with full debugging support and captured the logs
 in that email for when the disconnects happen.  No drop ever looks exactly
 the same but they all look like the WiFi device is unable to respond to
 the EAPOL message in time.  This would explain why certain devices work
 fine on the same hardware while others are perpetually dropping
 connections, and why molocho's findings in comment 32 show that switching
 to a quiet channel doesn't help out here.

 The timeouts for all of this stuff are hardcoded in hostapd, in
 src/ap/wpa_auth.c.  I am tempted to get a patch to change these, but the
 fact that they're not configurable at runtime makes me a bit wary that
 there might be a good reason for those constants.  I'd appreciate it if
 anyone from the OpenWRT project who's familiar with the workings of WPA
 could give some opinion here.  If this patch isn't a bad idea it might be
 a good idea to ship the Audi Kirkwood binaries with a patched hostapd.

Comment (by molocho):

 Testing for an hour confirms: using unused channels won't fix this for
 longer than a couple of minutes. Although all of the wireless traffic
 seems to work fine shortly after reboot, the connection gets horribly
 unstable after a few minutes uptime. On some links you'll wait 20sec until
 it starts loading, on other clicks you sometimes instantly get a "device
 not connected to internet" message. Interestingly, in my case it mainly
 affects four Apple iOS devices older than the iPhone 6s, which perfectly
 fits to the report made in comment #8. The 6s, and Intel wifi chipsets on
 a lenovo machine als well as an ath9k USB wifi Chip work flawless as
 clients, which might be the reason this problem never has been seen and
 adressed  so far from whoever maintains the driver.

Comment (by molocho):

 I have also faced this issue on an EA4500. I tried every OpenWrt trunk
 from the past 2 weeks, as well as the first releases to support this
 Router, the stable Chaos Calmer release and the Candyhouse mod. First i
 thought it is a problem with MTU PPPoE setting, so i tinkered with that
 and set MSS Clamping. None brought success. Trying to tamper with RTS/CTS
 / Threshold in wifi settings also brought no success. As for now, finding
 an unused WiFi channel seems to do it for now, but i am not convinced that
 this will do it from now on. My log looks the same than comment 9 starting
 time index 6+. I strongly believe this is a driver issue.

 I finally changed config to use different SSID for 11g and 11n networks. I
 also changed 11g channel and problem disappeared. There was another 11g
 network on channel and I think that was main reason for those
 disconnections.

Comment (by lordgilman):

 The audi package was upgraded to kernel 4.4 on March 14th.  I've upgraded
 to a trunk build that has the 4.4 kernel but I'm still experiencing the
 disconnects.  :(

 I also have multiple WiFi devices that regularly use this access point.
 One's a Nexus 4 and it works great, never gets these disconnects.  The
 other two devices are Samsung Galaxy phones of different models and they
 both get the disconnects.  Wondering if there's some corner case behavior
 those wireless chips are exposing here that the maintainers of the kernel
 driver didn't account for.

 Thank you for this!

 Running r49377 on an ea3500.  2.4GHz radio wasn't enabling.  After
 manually editing the configuration LuCI had left at /etc/config/wireless
 and changing hwmode from '11a' to '11g' the radio has enabled.  Also seems
 to work if I put '11n' in that field so I've left it with that value.

 Would this be a bug in LuCI or a bug in the wifi driver?

 Maybe it is a firmware/driver issue. As you can see in the logs of other
 users, the version of AP firmware is 5.2.8.17. However, the latest
 
[http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/firmware/FW_EA3500_1.1.40.162464_prod.zip
 EA3500 stock firmware] includes AP firmware version 5.3.0.6.
 Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer so I'm not able to adapt mac80211 to
 work with the stock AP firmware 5.3.0.6 or change the stock GPL wlan
 driver to work with OpenWrt.

 How did you create the configuration manually? Did you just set
 /etc/config/wireless or did you write the hostapd config in /tmp/run
 /hostapd-phy0.conf yourself? Either way, how exactly did you do it?

 I see, thanks. That does predate the recent backport of mac80211.

 mwl8k doesn't seem to be an actively-maintained driver so I'm not sure
 what the appropriate course of action would be. There are two OpenWrt-
 specific patches for it but I don't believe they are at all related.

 But did it previously work in AP mode in older revisions of OpenWrt? There
 aren't any recent changes to the mwl8k driver but there was a mac80211
 update not that long ago.

 Did it previously work for either of you and recently started working
 poorly, or are you new to OpenWrt on these models?

 I am facing same behavior on ea4500. Had ea3500 tested also -same.
 Surfing on iPad is really Bad. Webpage loading breaks ever second/third
 click.

 Log shows same lines as in this ticket.

 I have followed the wiki openwrt. Ok, I will try set bootpart & change
 eth1addr. Report soon.

Comment (by leitec):

 Some other values look a bit weird, too. ethaddr and eth1addr are the
 same. I haven't seen that yet on any EA3500's. Normally eth1addr is
 ethaddr + 1. I don't think that could affect the wifi or anything but I'm
 curious as to how this happened.

Comment (by anonymous):

 You're missing "boot_part" for some reason. How did you load this firmware
 and what were you running before?

 You can try to set it manually:

 fw_setenv boot_part 1

 that should match your current bootcmd 'run nandboot'

 For the sysupgrade bit, what revision are you running? There was a bug in
 the very first supported builds before r45457 that made sysupgrade
 impossible. Check that 'fw_printenv' works.
