wireless n mode doesn't work #40

Closed cappe87 closed 8 years ago

cappe87 commented 8 years ago

I select ng mode in the template but wireless works only in g mode. I think the problem is in the file /etc/owispmanager/tools/mac80211.sh at line 47 echo "hw_mode=g" >> $HOSTAPD_FILE This probably rewrites the configuration in owm.

Sounds like a problem in OWM rather than the firmware.

Looking at the UCI of OWM, I think n just cannot work: https://github.com/openwisp/OpenWISP-Manager/blob/master/app/views/access_points/_uci_wireless_mac80211.erb

An example of correct 802.11n settings for 2ghz are here: https://github.com/openwisp/netjsonconfig/blob/master/tests/openwrt/test_wireless.py#L90-L91

Or for 5ghz: https://github.com/openwisp/netjsonconfig/blob/master/tests/openwrt/test_wireless.py#L55-L56

Hey @cappe87, I just tested the current master with a correct 802.11n configuration generated via netjsonconfig and the access point correctly sets itself in 802.11n mode.

This unfortunately is a limit of OpenWISP Manager which generates a wrong configuration. We have a solution for this, get in touch and I will help.
