5Ghz Client / WDS #2

Open gustavo-momente opened 7 years ago

gustavo-momente commented 7 years ago

Would be possible to compile 5Ghz drivers with Client mode and WDS enabled?

zaccareal commented 7 years ago

Of course, in menuconfig mediatek > drivers > mt7610e and set what you need. Later you have to configure via console because for now it's not possible through LuCi

gustavo-momente commented 7 years ago

Thanks a lot! But right now I don't have a machine setup in a way that I could compile the project. Would you be so kinda as to provide compiled binaries with those options enabled?

gustavo-momente commented 7 years ago

@zaccareal after finally setting up a build env, I could follow your instructions. But after flashing the resulting image I can't connect to any 5Ghz network using the modem.

Did you ever test the 5Ghz network on client mode?

zaccareal commented 7 years ago

Me too I struggled with client mode but finally i got it works. After apclii0 interface configuration remember to set rai0/(apclii0) Channel according to your 5ghz network. iwconfig apclii0 command and System log/dmesg show connection status/info

gustavo-momente commented 7 years ago

@zaccareal could you share how did you manage to configure apclii0? I didn't even know I had to edit and create that interface.

zaccareal commented 7 years ago

To configure STA mode follow these steps: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=358223#p358223 (you don't need to load driver) Remember to set appropriate Channel with iwpriv rai0 set Channel=36

Here you can find detailed information about configuration: http://sourceforge.net/p/wive-ng/wive-ng-mt/ci/05d0fa0ec200e4201f3fca74694ed2dee6de6aff/tree/docs/DriversNotes/2011_0124_RT3x5x_5350_Linux_SoftAP_v2.5.0.0_ReleaseNotes.pdf?format=raw

Thanks I lot! I followed your steps and I did manage to connect as a Client! Thanks a lot for the help. Do you think in the future it would be possible to do this configuration by setting the interface to 'sta' mode in /etc/config/wireless?

Also, have you ever tried to make a relayd bridge? If you did, would you be so kind to share your configuration?

zaccareal commented 7 years ago

Soon i'll add STA mode LuCi support, the code is ready, now i have not access to the router to test it I never tested relayd bridge

gustavo-momente commented 7 years ago

Oh! That's awesome. If you want I can beta test that for you.
