5.0 Mox SDIO Wifi System Crash

[MrPointedHelix]

I’ve got a Mox with the SDIO for 2.4 GHz and a wle1216v5-20 for 5.0 GHz. The WLE works fine. However, with the following configuration, although everything works fine at first, the MOX crashes within several minutes of startup (the light stops blinking on the front, no access to it possible):

config wifi-iface ‘default_radio1’
option device ‘radio1’
option network ‘lan’
option mode ‘ap’
option ssid ‘’
option hidden ‘1’
option key '’
option encryption ‘psk2+ccmp’

radio0 corresponds to my WLE: “Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 802.11acn”
radio1 corresponds to the SDIO “Generic MAC80211 802.11acbgn” (Is that even the right identifier? I googled and tried different drivers but I’m not getting anything more specific than the Generic one)

MOX SDIO firmware contain many serious issues preventing it’s basic daily use.

Turris MOX unresolved issues

Turris MOX from Indiegogo campaing was released eight months ago and now is in retail offer. MOX SDIO still can´t support multiple SSID and 802.1x and 5 GHz mode are unstable. MOX A still sometimes unpredictable hangs after restart and manual disconnection from the power supply is required. Both of these problems prevent me from using MOX in a production environment. I would like to know when and how these problems will be solved. I know that this has been mentioned in this discussion forum …

You can try to use older firmware without newest security fixes, but other user report same problem with it.

Guest network SDIO Wi-Fi issue workaround

Dear Turris users, we were trying to figure out what is going on with SDIO Wi-Fi and guest network for quite some time. We haven’t got to the exact root cause yet as it is working on some devices and doesn’t on others. But in general, the feedback we got and we were later able to reproduce in our testing environment is that with guest network enabled, the Wi-Fi is much less stable. We were able to find a workaround that seems to help (at least in our testing environment) and would like to ask y…

Hello,

I have Mox Classic too and I can recomend this :

• try to use Turris OS 5.x
• do not use any built-in wifi card and Mox will be rock-stable
• I use Mox as classic router without wifi, I have connected Raspberry Pi 3+ via patchcord and Raspberry makes for me wifi ( project https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui , raspi can do 2,4 or 5 GHz wifi )
• combination of Mox without wifi with Turris Os 5.x and raspi as wifi is rock-stable
• due to instable drivers for built-in wifi cards is not Mox usable with wifi, without wifi is very good and stable

Since it isn’t looking good using the SDIO chip, I ended up using my MOX B module to add a second wifi card (WLE900VX). Works great. It’s a shame the SDIO wifi component is garbage though.

It’s a shame the SDIO wifi component is garbage though.

Waste is firmware, hopefully not card, but it’s necessary to obtain the new one.
