wireless interface stopper running

Thu Nov 07, 2013 12:37 pm

hi
i recently installed two Metal 2SHPn one is configured as client/cpe the other server/ap to serve as wireless bridge they worked fine for the past couple of weeks and suddenly stopped

looking at the web gui found that the wireless interface does not have the R sign in front of it unlike the bridge and ethernet

can someone help please

This indicate your wireless link is not created. Scan from station side to be sure you can view the AP.

Don't know exactly what model router board u use. On the older once, 433 they had a way of disabling the WIFI it self. Normal the same once that did it and was very rare. Eventual wrote a script that checked, if the WIFI was disabled it just re enabled it. Have nod found any thing like that on the SXT, but then again. The script is loaded as default on our panels. :-) Guise i it is running it is running.

i have metal 2shpn with 5.26 os loaded http://routerboard.com/RBMetal2SHPn

this morning i discovered that the wlan1 interface is missing the [R] in front of it unlike the ethernet and bridge interfaces and no connection to the other device/lan

disabling and enabling the wlan interface changes nothing, when i run Scanner all neighboring ssids are displayed

any idea what makes an interface stop ?
