Description

Hey there, I am having a serious issue on my zyxel

Sometimes, after a random time (can be 2 hours from boot, can be 48 hours) this happens and 2,4ghz stops transmitting anything with all devices connected to it for maybe half an hour/an hour then, usually, it resumes transfer sometimes with reeeeally low speeds (1 mbit maybe).
I'm using a Zyxel EX5601-T0 on latest snapshot

Hope it can be fixed cause this drives me crazy. The only way to make it work is to manually restart the wireless iface or the router

Research direction

Start with the reported mtk_wed0 error status and the Zyxel EX5601-T0 details on the mediatek/filogic target. Reproduce the intermittent 2.4 GHz failure if possible and investigate why restarting the wireless interface restores traffic. Done means the 2.4 GHz interface remains usable without manual restarts and the reported errors no longer occur.
