Omnia Wifi6 WLAN interfaces disabled

[RaillieB]

Hello!
Recently I have bought Omnia Wifi 6. After first start, WLAN interfaces are disabled and I can not move them into LAN to enable them, see screenshot. I inspected browser console and request to http://192.168.1.1/reforis/api/interfaces gives me response, see snippet below post. Notice that both interfaces in “none” have "configurable": false, LED lights on frontpanel for both WIFIs are dark.
I would like to avoid reclamation in hope it is some silly little thingy that I can fix myself.
Any ideas, please?

If you want to do it from Reforis after installing new WiFi cards you should do WiFi reset. But if you are familiar with LuCi then you could go to advanced settings and set everything in Wireless options. Browser console won’t help you here as its not a problem with the webpage itself.

Hi @RaillieB,

@RaillieB

After first start, WLAN interfaces are disabled and I can not move them into LAN to enable them, see screenshot

Did you set the wifi interfaces on the dedicated “Network Settings → Wi-Fi” page first?
Preferred way is to configure wireless interfaces on the dedicated reforis page, which will automatically assign interfaces to their designated networks: regular wifi to LAN and guest wifi to guest network.

That wouldn’t, unfortunately, resolve the wrong assignment to Unassigned (“none”) group in reForis, but at least they should be considered “up and running” (with {"state": "up"}).

{"state": "down"}

This hints that the interfaces are either not running (most likely not configured yet), or configured but somehow broken and therefore detected as “down”.

Which bring us to the second point.

@RaillieB

Notice that both interfaces in “none” have "configurable": false […] I would like to avoid reclamation in hope it is some silly little thingy that I can fix myself.

I agree that it is confusing, but this silly little thing is actually a bug in Turris OS 6.0+

Even when wifi interfaces are properly configured on reForis Wi-Fi page, they are displayed in “Unassigned” group on Interfaces page in reForis.

Although this discrepancy between displayed state of the wifi interfaces on different reForis pages is confusing, this is just a visual representation bug on Interfaces page. Properly configured wifi interfaces should work fine regardless of it.

For more details, take a look at issue on our gitlab.

If you want to do it from Reforis after installing new WiFi cards you should do WiFi reset.

I agree. And not just in case of installing new wifi card.

In general, performing “Wifi reset” (in reForis or command line) + configure it again from scratch is the preferred way how to try to make misbehaving wifi interfaces work again.
