Description

Device: HLK-7688A
OS: openwrt-22.03

I enabled both STA and AP modes. When the STA is connected to the upstream AP, the AP's SSID can be discovered. However, once the STA disconnects from the upstream AP, the AP's SSID also becomes undiscoverable.

Here is my configuration.

`config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
option device 'radio0'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ifname 'ra0'
option ssid 'MKGW-LW-1275'
option encryption 'psk-mixed+tkip+ccmp'
option key '12345678'

config wifi-iface 'wifinet1'
option device 'radio0'
option network 'wwan'
option mode 'sta'
option ifname 'apcli0'
option ssid 'aaa-iPhone'
option disabled '0'
option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'
option key '12345678'`

When I turn off the "aaa-iPhone" hotspot, the following log appears on the terminal

and then the "MKGW-LW-1275" AP becomes undiscoverable.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported MT7688 setup on OpenWrt 22.03 with both STA and AP enabled, then review the terminal log captured when the upstream hotspot is turned off. No source file or test is named; done means the local “MKGW-LW-1275” AP remains discoverable after the STA disconnects.
