Description
Hello colleagues.
I have a TP-LINK RE200 v2.1 repeater based on the mediatek MT7628AN chipset and MT76x8AN and MT7610EN chipsets for WLAN. I am using OpenWRT image 21.02rc4. I came across a problem already described on many forums, the critical instability and the disappearance of SSID broadcasting in the 5GHz network. It is practically impossible to use now. The problems vary, but clearly indicate a driver error for this chipset. Maybe one of my fellow developers could help to solve this problem. Or one of you has found a solution to this problem.

Research direction
The report concerns WLAN instability and disappearing 5 GHz SSIDs on a TP-LINK RE200 v2.1 using the MT7628AN, MT7610EN, and MT76x8AN chipsets with OpenWrt 21.02rc4. No source file, test, or entry point is identified; begin by reproducing the failure and collecting driver and wireless logs. Done would require identifying and fixing the cause, then verifying stable 5 GHz broadcasting on the reported hardware.
