info channel-wifi1: unable to find active wlan device for wifi1

I have ZoneFlex R300 standalone AP in place. With latest FW (9.7.1...)
I'm using only 2.4G band with 40Mhz channel width.

Was this unit attached to a ZD at some point? It's acting like it. I would hard-reset and re-configure.

Also...40Mhz channels on 2.4 are generally not advised and rarely provide the anticipated benefit.

As fas as I know, it was not attached to the ZD. I just bought it from store and it was packed like "from facktory"...

I know that 40MHz is not adviced, but if I have a free air and viable performance boost.. why not..?

Anybody?

have you ever factory reset this device? if not do that first or possibly go so far as firmware re-flashing it

if you still have issues try different encryptions/security methods

Hi Janx,

use of 40 mhz is not advised in congested but yes good if place AP is operating is full of free airtime and no competing devices.

I see that these logs appears with a gap of with a patter of arounds 30 mins. Are you seeing issues around this time. if yes, please share what are those?

or is this just for info that you are asking.

Hi,

No I have not done factory reset. Must try.
It seems that 30 min pattern is accurate. No other issues around this time..everything else seems to be okay.
Btw. We have disable 5GHz channel - could this be the problem?
