OpenWRT #154

Closed Pimmetje closed 7 years ago

Pimmetje commented 7 years ago

Hi i was wondering without reading the docs in too much detail (i am sorry if i overlooked it). But could openwrt be used with find like raspberry pi? This would allow for a very broad range of possible wifi data gather points. What data is needed from the wifi devices?

TilBlechschmidt commented 7 years ago

The device basically needs to do a scan for other WiFi networks and send the resulting MAC -> RSSI values to a server. I'm not too familiar with OpenWRT but it should be possible to integrate it. I am not sure if that's what you are trying to achieve though since that would determine the location of the OpenWRT device, not of its clients.

No i would like to have the location of the wifi clients surrounding a few openwrt boxes like with the Raspberry Pi's. But what data does find need? Only single strength and MAC from all wifi devices or something special?

Ah nvmd so you are referring to this project instead. Afaik it is required to get the probe requests every WiFi devices sends out. Can't tell you any details though. You might want to have a look at the linked repo.
