Connect TG799 to iPhone Hotspot as upstream AP #777

Closed Napoleon-BlownApart closed 5 years ago

Napoleon-BlownApart commented 5 years ago

I have a Linksys WRT54G on which I've installed DD-WRT, allowing me to connect the router to my iPhone's hotspot, giving me a LAN with Internet Access. Everything is working fine, except that because the router is old, its speeds are rather slow.

I happen to have a TG799vac laying around, which I discovered today can be rooted and reconfigured. So I've rooted it following the Hacking Technicolor Gateways guide, using firmware version 17.2.0261-7021006-20180717060049-7a6942c1e53cde22b128223f19f177ff91381c7d, did most of the steps in the Unlock Functionality section (I left out VOIP) and then installed tch-nginx-gui. Everything seems ok so far and I can reboot the modem as needed.

So, the final step I need to accomplish is to connect the TG799 to my iPhone's hotspot. Is this possible or am I wasting my time? I hope it is possible as all the WiFi modem drivers are present and I would think this just requires configuration. (I don't mind if this needs to be done on the commandline.)

(If this is not the right place to post my question, please let me know where is the right forum. I have no idea as I've never interacted with this community before.)

Below is the resulting console output after running tch-nginx-gui install script. There are some warnings and errors but I don't know if they're significant as the GUI seems to be working and I've never used this before:

wlctl cap shows no sta mode on all other similar hardware, so basically wifi card of these hardware can be used only in AP mode

nclmrc commented 5 years ago

The best solution for me is here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration You can put the repeater in the same subnet. Insert the ip of wifi dhcp client also in relay bridge.

FrancYescO commented 5 years ago

the issue is still that this is not applicable on technicolor device as they cannot act as wifi client (needed to connect to a phone hotspot..)... are you using it on another router or simply the routers are connected via lan?!

kevdagoat commented 5 years ago

I think this should be closed, as the wl driver for this chip are all closed source, so there is no hope for STA mode
