Typical, since I last posted that all has been well for the best part of four days, actually 4 days and six hours, an issue has occurred that did so last time. None of my 2.4Ghz wi-fi devices can now connect. The Wi-Fi connection page looks like.....
those devices that can't flip over to the 5ghz Wi-Fi are now stuck, things like smartplugs which only operate on the 2.4Ghz radio.
To resolve it I would need to reboot the router or change channel on the 2.4Ghz radio or do something to "restart" it.
When running 384.18 this had never happened, nor when it ran previous firmware releases.
The 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi is still available, the SSID is still being broadcast, but changing my phone from the 5ghz to the 2.4ghz it tries to connect and then simply fails.
You can see from the screenshot what is in the Wireless log.
Nothing to note in the system log, what I recognise as being an issue.
I make no changes to the default wireless settings, apart from SSID and password.
