virtual interfaces #9

Closed joedupa closed 2 years ago

joedupa commented 2 years ago

I can't add virtual interface (for my IoTs), it doesn't show up as access point while scanning the networks, using the latest Firmware: DD-WRT v4.14-r48122M CRISPIN (01/13/22) on DIR-878 A1, please help, thanks.

not enough information.

i'm not tech support.

i have my interfaces running no problem after i reset and restored my settings.

it's possible you're on a DFS channel that your client cannot detect. i've had autochannelselect occasionally select channel 56 on 5G, which my client couldn't detect.

ping @nikolatesluh @CastleCaptain

joedupa commented 2 years ago

would that have to do with the fact that I just upgraded from BS 02-28-2021-r45863 and not clean installed (from recovery)? I have multiple client platforms, none can see the VAPs. What additional information can I submit?

forgot to add, I tried on both radios, no go...

i3roly commented 2 years ago

yes, it would.

if you really don't want to re-configure, i'd check the following nvram variables:

lan_ifnames (should be vlan1 vlan2 ra0 rai0) wl0_vifs (should be wl0.0..wl0.X for X-1 vifs) wl1_vifs (should be wl1.0..wl1.X for X-1 vifs)

what you'll most likely have to do, if you're seriously not wanting to enter this stuff again, is first dump your nvram contents using

nvram show

then, copy all of the vif variables (i don't know the name for the ath9k/madwifi vaps. it may be wl0.1_mtu, etc...) _mtu _ipaddr _bridged _nat *_hwaddr

etc

and re-name the ones for

wl0.1_mtu .. wl0.1.hwaddr

to

ra1_mtu .. ra1_hwaddr

(all the way to raX-1, instead of wl0.X-1)

and the same thing for wl1, but instead you using the naming scheme 'rai'X

i would just re-add them or use mt76. i strongly discourage manually renaming.

it's much faster doing it with this wifi driver than mad wifi because the page doesn't refresh every time you click an encryption setting.

just create all the VAPs at once, then rename them after. same thing for security settings. it's a drop-down menu. not click-on-refresh.

it is practically a fresh install so reconfiguring is not important at all, ESP32 boards could not simply coexist with 878 (mt76) and I decided to use your build which works perfect with my gadgets except the Vaps... Will try to reload from Dlink recovery, and try again, will let you know tomorrow, it's fricken -32 C here (Saskatoon) now.

i3roly commented 2 years ago

No you don't need to load from dlink recovery that won't fix it.

You need to go into the administration tab, go to the restore suntan and then select restore to defaults.

that way the ddwrt firmware restores the stock variable settings.

I saved my settings (including virtual interface) to nvrambak.bin, erased nvram, and fresh reloaded your firmware from Dlink recovery. Restored settings, and everything is perfect, my Vap is working now, 5GHz is much faster than on mt76. Fantastic job, thank you for your help Gagan!!!

i3roly commented 2 years ago

No problem buddy.

Mind closing the ticket?

Stay cool pal
