Keenetic Sprinter Seems not to respond to 802.11v BSS Transition Mgmt Queries


Question

Posted

I have a wifi system with a Sprinter (KN-3711) and Buddy 6 (KN-3411) both on Keenetic OS 5.0.8. I am testing a Zephyr RTOS - based device to verify experimental support for 802.11 roaming protocols (k, v, r).
So far, RRM Neighbor report requests from my device get responses, but BSS transition Mgmt queries get no responses. The queries are rate limited, min interval between two queries is 2 seconds. See sample logs from the device:

... no response ...
```

To translate to human-readable terms query_reason=16 means "Low RSSI" and Event TX_STATUS (16) means event was tx'ed successfully.

The device is correctly listed with k and v support in the client list. I think it is strange that the controller does not respond to BTM queries at all. Any help would be appreciated.
