3 years ago Please attach 'dmesg' output after you get a freeze and before you reboot/recover from that freeze. Possibly you need a serial console in order to get this if your entire AP dies?
Please provide this info. See this link for more info on how to gather debug info: http://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-bugs.php
Description of the problem (how to configure, how to reproduce, how often it happens). My 2.4Ghz WIFI is freezing constantly, as described in post https://forum.openwrt.org/t/archer-c7-2-4-ghz-wireless-dies-in-24-48-hours/. This happen when transfering large files (more than 4Gb) or watch 4K streaming movies. As they suggest in the lasts posts, I change memory limit to less than 2M iw phy phy1 set txq memory_limit 2000000. With 2M or more it still freeze even browsing internet after few hours, now with 2M it just keep freezing with large files or streaming.
Investigating a little more I find that when I browse internet for a long time the command iw phy phy1 get txq dont show hash collisions, but when start transfering a big file it grows very quickly from 0 to almost 2M: Hash collisions: 1904738
I read that hash collisions is “normal” and can be caused by many wlan interferences, but it seems very strange that it grown so fast and only in high WIFI usage, using only Firefox the hash collisions keeps the same for a long time.
