Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

Ok, I've got the old load 3.4.17 running in pi-star0 mmdvm (YSF) and the 4.1.0-RC4 new beta load running in the DMR mmdvm now entitled pi-star2a. (I kept the old sdhc chip containing name pi-star2 with its old 01/2019 3.4.17 load using the same DMR settings.) My heart sank when the new DMR pi-star l...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

Around 0815 MST this morning, the dashboards stopped updating for the YSF and DMR mmdvm's. Trying a dashboard query on each led to a timeout message, with the two mmdvm's displays still showing on-channel (room/TG) activity. At 1335 MST I power cycled the DMR mmdvm, but not the YSF one. Then I reboo...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

A hearty "thank you" to all who replied to my ongoing dilemma. I just did the simple thing just now by disabling WMM APSD also on the 5 GHz band on my router in addition to the 2.4 GHz band earlier. I'm going to see if that does the trick by watching the responsiveness of the mmdvm's overn...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

Jason: Your suggestions have been most helpful, but to proceed, I need to ask some questions. 1. You say try pi-star 4.1 to see if that will fix my issues. My mmdvm uses a pi zero w. I don't believe there is a release beyond 3.4.17 for my hardware configuration. (Am I correct on this?) 2. You also s...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

I ran about 18 or 19 hours and then, even after changing the Auto LogOut and Idle Standby settings to "disable", the mmdvm's still went "ignorant" to Dashboard queries. So, I have just disabled WMM-APSD, as advised and will go back to "watchful waiting". I hope this wor...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

So far, the carpet bomb settings I configured left the mmdvm's still responsive overnight. This is the first time that has happened since I began struggling with this issue on this home wifi network. I'm going to do what my medical doctor calls "watchful waiting" for now. But I thank you, ...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

I don't know if this is the magic I'm looking for, but I did the following: Under Merlin's Adminstration>System Tab, I did the following: Under the Basic Configuration>Auto Logout setting, I changed the 30 minute default setting to be "disabled". Under the Service>Idle Timeout setting, I c...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

I flashed Merlin's latest release (384.13) into my RT-AC3100 router. I do like its presentation of info in its gui. No joy however...the two MMDVM's ignored all request for communication after only about 3 hours. I just got back from taking the XYL out for Sunday dinner and sat down at the laptop an...

Re: mmdvm's connect ok and after a period of days or hours ignore pi-star.local access

I agree that the problem is likely the router. But I don't see anything obvious in the wifi or lan settings that can be changed to change this situation. I thought the lease time length for the DHCP assignments could be too short, as it was default set to 86400 seconds (one day), but the longest I c...
