issue AP router with Opnsense 23

[rkistart]

Hello everyone,

I bought a gli.net wifi 6 router and connected it behind my opnsense 23 firewall.

Internet <---> ISP router <---> Opnsense 23 <---> Gl.inet (wifi 6) <---> All client

I often have network disconnections with the following error in GL.inet :

Same error with parameters.

When the access point wifi 6 and behind the router of my ISP, no problem.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Hi,
   What makes you think that it's the OPNsense and not the GL?

[rkistart]

As mentioned, when the GL is connected directly to my modem (ISP), no problem.

[lilsense]

plugin a PC to the same port and you should not see any issues... if you do then it may be physical.

[rkistart]

I tested the connection between opnsense and GL with two different network ports. Same issue+ .

I test my PC directly on both ports, no problem.  ???

Is it possible that there is an incompatibility between the two routers?

[lilsense]

It could be related to a GL inet bug... the BTM is BSS transition management. May be related to how you set up the link and how the two systems interact. since you have not provided sufficient information, I am not sure what you'd expect other than I can tell you that you'd might want to try to upgrade your GL.inet.

Thx Lilsense for your time.
I have opened a support ticket to the GL.inet team.
