I have a few OpenWRT installations on Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 routers that mostly works great, but one appears to have just lost the radio. The router can scan and see other wireless networks around, but mostly nobody can see it apart from sporadic periods where they can see the ssid but not successfully connect. It was working fine and then suddenly wasn't, even after a power cycle. So I think the radio tx is dying or dead... does anyone have any anecdotal evidence of a problem with this particular router, or maybe I was just unlucky? Thanks James

I wasn't aware you could even buy Buffalo units in .au. Suggest you talk to #openwrt of irc.freenode.net.

That's the sort of answer I was hoping for :) Is there a technical document on this known issue that could help speed up my RA approval? Thanks James

Hi, in the UK I just call them up and make sure it's on their latest firmware. Although recently we've not had as many issues with wireless dropping. It's a known issue in terms of the community. I believe they changed the atheros chipset in the router at one point in it's life that caused issues. there is a thread on the buffalo forums (well there are many) regarding the issue http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Wireless/WZR-HP-G300NH2-Drops-Wireless/td-p... thanks Deano
