Firmware Version

2.5.8, 2.5.9

Description

Dear All!

My Station G2 is behaving abnormally after setting it to router.
After a while (~30-50 min) is just stops receiving on lora, and wakes up only for a little in 3 hour intervals (nodeinfo?), start working again and the stops.
It starts to work after I connect to it on wifi (wifi shouldn't be disabled after setting router mode?) and making a traceroute or something, but only for a little while.
It starts to work if I connect to it by meshsense app, but still, only for ~30-50 min.

MeshSense shows the node is working, sending out telemetry and neighbourinfo (empty, because not receiving packets), I can connect to it by wifi, but lora receive is not working.

I can recreate the behavior anytime:

• Full erase and flash with webflasher
• Connect to wifi (bluetooth stops working after connecting to wifi, another bug?)
• Enable Nodeinfo app (900 seconds, if I leave it on 0 it never sends nodeinfo, yet another?)
• Config lora to EU868, defaults
• Set device to router mode
• Node starts to sleep abnormally.
• Setting back to Client: not resolving the issue, only a full reinstall resolves it.

Attaching serial logs involving me sitting on the roof for a good half an hour, so it's not available yet (can I get logs by wifi somehow?)

One more thing i forgot: node shows it's sending out telemetry and nodeinfo but my other node in the house not receiving it, so it's not really sent out

[liquidraver]

correction: it seems 2.5.7 disables wifi correctly after changing to router mode, testing it out now, edited out from the report for now

2.5.7 seems unaffected by my tests, but wifi still stays on after setting it to router

Do you have Neighbour info enabled?
If yes, can you try to disable it and see if the problem is resolved?
I have the same problem with the node becoming unresponsive, but is solved if I disable Neighbour Info.

These are the last lines before everything stops for a long time, nothing happens on serial after that:
