"But I didn't solve with this, after a while I just changed the Wireless mode in my router into
802.11 b/g/n mixed
Moreover, I disabled the 5 GHz in the router, probably it is overcharged.
All of this fixed my issue.

Yes, indeed it says

Unfortunately I'm not able to disable 5 GHz. The warehouse devices depend on this band.
Re: Wi-Fi roaming (I'm tired)
Add to wpa_supplicant command line:
So we can compare wpa_supplicant output.
Code: Select all
-f /tmp/wpa_supplicant.out
Disable 5 GHz only on this device? One line to wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code: Select all

When 5 GHz is disabled it works better now.aka wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 12:56 am Disable 5 GHz only on this device? One line to wpa_supplicant.conf:

However, connection is still not stable and still freezes every now and then.
I think we learned something useful from trying B43 driver, but maybe it is better to revert to WL driver.
Since I added bgscan to wpa_supplicant.conf, no more "I'm tired" message has appeared with WL driver.
Roaming will be less elegant without measuring signal strength, but I think it is better than an unstable connection.
If you want me to test more it is fine, but I think WL driver will be the best choice.
Re: Wi-Fi roaming (I'm tired)
Return wl driver back?
Re: Wi-Fi roaming (I'm tired)
Yes please return to wl driver.
B43 solves one issue, but creates many other issues.
