Hello, everybody. I run Turris Omnia TOS 3.11.14. Wifi i run for a long time 5Ghz and in the 2.4 main network and Guest. The only peculiarity is to set the reduced broadcast power of all wifi. Environment 2.4 is severely disturbed. I just practiced speedtest from the Samsung Tab S2 when I gradually connect it to individual networks and i got the following results:
don’t touch the configuration in luci, that broke my connection ever single time
It’s a very weird issue.
I since upgraded to Turris OS 4.x and the developer release 5.x. Didn’t try to reproduce the issue so far, but if it breaks again, I will report.
Foris does not have “country code” , meanwhile Luci does and needs to be set. If left empty and you save+apply the uci config from Luci interface, it might not work properly (or at all).
I think it is better to set the wifi in Luci (and look into “Advanced Options” tab … where is the country-code and some other params you can play with to tune it up, distance, signal level… Foris should handle wireless config saved by Luci. (i do not use Foris unless it is necessary or just for some essential features missing in luci)
Similar issue where Foris and Luci do the changes in UCI configs regardless the other related option “dynamic/static domains” and “port 0 vs port 53” (for resolver/kresd/dnsmasq) it took me a while to found that glitch.
from what i found out, foris sets the country code depending on the localisation configuration.
it didnt’t work for me to set the country code in luci. also luci didn’t recognise the right maximum allowed transmitter power in 5ghz wifi and set it to maximum 79mW.
i guess there was something wrong in the luci country code configuration, too…
According to my findings, the speed of the guest’s wifi depends on the length of the password. With a password of 40 characters, the speed is roughly half to a third compared to setting with an 8-character password . I only tested the 2.4 GHz band.
