Ghost clients on Cudy WR3000 v1 #3552
Description
Bug report
I observed the following. When clients go out of range, there is a chance that the router keeps them as ghosts. They appear an disappear in the mesh as clients even hours after being physically away. The clients are visible on all typical moitoring like the meshviewer or grafana or node status page. They can appear as 2,4ghz or 5ghz clients. A reboot fixes the issue temporally until the next real clients connects and disappears.
I already tried a completely reset and new firmware flash, but with no differences in the outcome.
logread shows the following (mac addresses shorted my be)
