[BUG] The AX53 Wi-Fi stays off even after Wi-Fi has been re-enabled on the controller
[BUG] The AX53 Wi-Fi stays off even after Wi-Fi has been re-enabled on the controller
Topology:
- Archer C6 v4 as the controller (FW: 1.14.0 Build 240617 Rel.39521n(4555)).
- Archer AX23 (FW: 1.0.4 Build 20240306 rel.66339) and Archer AX53 v2 (FW: 1.1.0 Build 20230725 Rel. 56344) as nodes.
- All connected via a TP-Link switch using Ethernet backhaul.
Summary:
- When I disable Wi-Fi on the router (Archer C6 v4) and enable it again, the Archer AX23 node resumes broadcasting as expected, but the Archer AX53 remains off.
- There is no SSID or signal, and the Wi-Fi LEDs stay off (see photo).
- Only resetting the AX53 restores Wi-Fi.
Steps to reproduce:
- Set up EasyMesh with the Archer C6 v4 as the controller and the AX53 and AX23 as the nodes.
- Turn off Wi-Fi on the C6 v4.
- Turn Wi-Fi back on.
- The AX23 resumes Wi-Fi, but the AX53 does not. The LEDs stay off (see attached photo below) and there is no signal.
- Resetting the AX53 restores the Wi-Fi connection. The issue repeats every time.
Expected:
- The AX53 should restore Wi-Fi in the same way as the AX23.
Actual:
- The AX53 Wi-Fi remains off until it is reset.
These LEDs remain off until the reset:
I disabled, then enabled the WiFi here:
