I’m running Flint 3 and an Aqara doorbell and have noticed intermittent doorbell offline messages. I just assumed it was flaky wifi or 2.4ghz congestion. If you do track down a bug or a solution please share it!

We've tried a few things but it hasn't really helped.

When it goes offline I get the following error on the Flint 3:

    # dmesg | grep -i '54:EF:44:5C:BC:B1' | grep kicked
    [3356208.016938] wlan: [0:I:ANY] [INACT] vap-0(wlan0): [54:ef:44:5c:bc:b1]station kicked out due to excessive retries associd 4 (from target) reason 1

I'm pretty sure it is dodgy firmware on the Doorbell, but I couldn't get any actual support from Aqara on this, so I thought there might be some workaround I could do on the AP.

I had some devices with similar (I think) problems when I did my last round of AP upgrades and tried to do roaming extensions...

I think I'm still running r, but k and/or v were problematic for a few of my clients. Wifi band steering can potentially also be problematic.

Maybe I'll try again when I get wifi 7 APs.

> even logging into my router (with my permission)

This is exactly why I want to migrate to a OpenWRT router, companies should not just be able to hop in my network like this. And I'd love to like the Flint 3 I stayed away from it because it didn't have upstream openwrt compatibility but I just saw this repo that might fix my issue: perceival/openwrt-flint3

Is that the context? In thinking op here might just opened a port and added the keys off the support agent and removing them after.

Not sure, that's what i thought reading it but you might be right

They release new models and completely abandon the old ones. You are happy now. Have you asked owners of Flint 1 (or other older models), how they feel now?
