[BE800] Packet Corruption on WiFi - ssl.SSLError: [SSL: DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC]
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
When my devices are on WiFi (both 5G and 6G bands) I see frequent packet corruption from SSL streams.
Ex.
python: ssl.SSLError: [SSL: DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC] decryption failed or bad record mac (_ssl.c:2633)
curl: (56) LibreSSL SSL_read: LibreSSL/3.3.6: error:06FFF064:digital envelope routines:CRYPTO_internal:bad decrypt, errno 0
I have verified this across four different clients (3 macs, 1 windows) and have also verified when I connect over ethernet I am not able to reproduce the ssl errors seen while connected to wifi. With the thought this might be a bad unit I purchased a second BE800 but it has the exact same issue.
Are there any ongoing efforts to fix this issue and should we expect to see a firmware update soon to fix this or are these units going to recycling?
My router still has not passed any bad ssl packets to my clients. Hurray! Only feedback I have is packet latency and throughput are slightly worse but it is much better then the corruption I was seeing previously.
I think that packet loss is due to packet delay (Also notice the high bufferbloat latency on uploads, didn't see values that high prior to the fix). When I do tests from the command line I can see these latency spikes there, this test must have strict deadlines.
@Sunshine Any chance we will see this fix go live soon? I have the second BE800 peered through easy mesh that I don't think I can manually update with the provided fix. Despite the slightly worse performance, I prefer the patched version.
