Hi!
I am a happy user of the Omnia Turris router. It’s being kept up to date with weekly updates. Last reboot happened about 2 days ago, so the machine should have the latest upstream software.
It seems there are problems with the wireless device on the Omnia. Every once in a while (it feels like every 15-30 minutes), the network goes down completely: I can’t ping the router over wifi at all anymore (100% packet loss). While the wifi still looks like it’s up, if I try to reconnect, it fails:

…etc. After a few seconds, wifi kicks back in and networks goes back to normal. I haven’t found any significant things in the logs on the router or my workstation that indicate a hardware problem (nothing in dmesg and /var/log/messages are normal: it just looks like the client disconnects and reconnects back).
I was previously using a secondary wifi access point in bridge mode and I was usually connected to the network with a wire, only using the wifi infrequently through my phone or laptop from time to time. So it’s possible the problem has been there for a long time without me noticing.
Also, I have received and setup the router before the advisory regarding the antenna sockets was issued, all the way back then. This means when I screwed in one of antennas, it made the antenna socket rotate and, unfortunately, I held the plastic board to keep it from rotating, so I’m worried I may have damaged one of the antennas.
How can I diagnose this further? Anyone else experienced such issues?
Thanks!
