Hi Qingfang,

Problem is that, may be the other device on the other side, may is issue.
So it is hard to tell which device is the issue.


I have a low traffic access point with 1meter cable running the  
openwrt 5.10 kernel with the openwrt EEE patch.
EEE is active and uptime with 16days without an issue.
This was with the old patch which clears the WAKEUP_TIME_1000/100 values.


I changed my ethernet setup so that access point switch has more  
traffic and longer cable ~18meters.
I also upgraded the kernel to 5.10.28 and added the EEE v2 patch.
Let's see what happens for a longer time and with more real world traffic.

Greats,

René
