Using "OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r35523-aac6df7bdc / LuCI Master 26.221.63536~04f1a7f" on a Tenda BE12 Pro. I cannot connect more than three wireless clients. When I try to connect a fourth, logread -f says:

Thu Aug 13 19:53:53 2026 daemon.info hostapd: phy0.0-ap0: STA 04:e8:b9:ea:5b:00 IEEE 802.11: authenticated
Thu Aug 13 19:53:53 2026 daemon.notice hostapd: phy0.0-ap0: STA 04:e8:b9:ea:5b:00 IEEE 802.11: Could not set STA to kernel driver

Every one of my devices will successfully connect, as long as I do not try to connect more than three devices.

It doesn't matter if I use 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, or both. Maxassoc is 10 on both 2.4 and 5Ghz radios.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have purchased four of Schlage's keypad deadbolts (non-touchscreen) in the past. Love them in the summer, but live in the north and they stop working in the winter. You hear the click of the actuator but the thumbturn still spins freely. Occasionally you can open the lock by pushing the thumbturn up and slowly spinning it while applying pressure. This will take 2-3 tries if it works at all. Schlage's support suggests to replace the battery and factory reset the lock which doesn't change anything.

It's been almost 10 years since I've purchased one of these. I'm in need of another keypad deadbolt and was wondering if there have been any improvements to the product.

I've been trying to troubleshoot a sporadic issue and can't figure out what's wrong. The internet will stop working a few times an hour, for under a minute, but just long enough to be annoying. So far tried:

• Rebooting everything
• Changing routers
• Changing computers
• Using no router at all (laptop direct to ONT via network cable)
• "Check internet service health" on My TELUS

Possibly related issue: twice today I haven't been able to open TCP connections to anything via IPv4. Websites that use IPv6 worked, and ping to IPv4 addresses worked. Rebooting the router solved the problem both times. Update: this happened a third time. So now I have two routers that don't work for two different reasons. What the heck...

When it does work, it works perfectly - speeds are actually better than advertised.

Anyway, I have a Nokia G-240G-A ONT and was just wondering if checking optical levels is a thing that I can do and if so how.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I've been experiencing packet loss for several weeks now. There are periods where it's high (>20%) but generally it stays <2%; just enough to be annoying. According to my town's Facebook group, others are experiencing the same.

Using the Nokia ONT, TELUS's router, ethernet connection (no wifi). Everything has been rebooted. The problem affects multiple devices. No outages reported on the server status page.

Anything else on my side that I could investigate?

Assuming this is a system issue, what's the best way to convince someone to investigate this?
