I’ve upgraded turris to 3.3 and my WiFi is not working very well now… Internet access is slow, mqtt protocol fails in few minutes and the reason is probably very bad latency. Below is ping from turris to any Android device with screen ON (not sleeping). Notebook works fine. I tried 2.4/5 GHz, legacy/n, 20MHz/40MHz and more without any impovement. Does someone know how to fix it?

This is a known issue, 3.3 brings a new driver that breaks the the Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 802.11bgnac card. You can use the other wifi card without problems until cz.nic releases a new update that fixes the error.
I actually discovered yesterday that I have the same problem, ping is really inconsistent for the 2,4GHz only card up to hundreds. So +1 from me on this issue
The firmware you mentioned should not play any role here if you have only the WiFi card that was supplied with the router - it is an Atheros AR9300 card, so it obviously does not use Realtek firmware.
Cards in the “old Turris” use ath9k driver which does not use any firmware at all. We are currently trying to reproduce the issue, however without any success at all. At least in freshly installed Turris 3.3 - also it has not surfaced on testing devices during the staging process. It might help us if you provide us with more information about your setup - i.e. whether you has Turris 1.x or Omnia and on which WiFi clients are you experiencing these problems (device model, WiFi card, operating system, …). The more information we gather, the faster we can find the root cause of the problem.
I have old turris (1.x). The worst problem (connected to wifi, but internet is not working) is with Nexus 5X (android 7.0 and 7.1). But other android devices have the same ping problem. I can provide any output from turris you need.
uname -a
Linux turris 3.18.44-93291736f4d5145ea9d62e8746031bf1-15 #1 SMP Wed Nov 30 15:33:28 CET 2016 ppc GNU/Linux
Hello, I have same issues connecting to Turris 1.0 on 5GHz internal wifi from Macbook with broadcom wifi card. Since upgrade i experience connection outage even macbook wifi is associated but no network connection at all. Solution is disconnect wifi and reconnect but then the issue rise again after some time. I can help test but not sure which linux commands output will help you. Also can try install patched kmods but how to get them ?
I am also having large packet loss (20+%). I am not sure if it is due to the turris fw upgrade as I have also wifi-ed in my desktop (had to switch from wire due to move) this weekend. however no new changes to turris sw config and judging from this forum, it probably is from same cathegory.
i am using wifi 2.4, no second wifi card. PC connected over wifi doesnt have the best signal, SNR 15-20
to me it seems that issue appears if I copy few GB of data to hdd attached to turris shared via samba.
during this cppy, ping jumps from 10 to 150ms. then keeps steadily growing up to thousand. Then i assume ping just timeouts and I get lost packets. Interesting thing is that this is point of no return. reboot of PC doesnt help. other devices on the network (phone) get also large packetloss (internet unusable). Rebooting turris fixes the prpblem immediately
I have noticed the same problem. 5G network disappears and can only be found again if I restart the router. I’ve a new router, I don’t know if you call it Turris2?
Device Turris Omnia - RTROM01
Turris OS version 3.3
Kernel version 4.4.35-34abcd5e548fc8ed5390269f3a31d173-15
It’s incredible that QA has not found massive showstoppers like this. I have a Turris 1 and an Omnia. They are configured almost as they arrived (nothing unusual running on them) and they both have been crippled by this update. Over $500 of hardware now unusable.
