1.9.x Wireless Bridge/Repeater

[scrmtrey]

Hello.

Today i tried to get wifi repeater to work but no success.

Main router is wrt120n and is connected to modem via wan and all good. I think the ip is 192.168.1.1.

The repeater is wdr3600 and running gargoyle. I did scan and choose the wifi i need it to extend. I set different SSID to broadcast and the same password as main wifi AP.

What should be the setup of IP section ? (gateway ip and stuff)


Wifi on repeater was discoverable but DHCP did not set the right ip for the wifi device, thus not connecting to wifi. Via ethernet cable the internet was working, but i need the wifi as well (point of repeater).

I have tried to fix this in the latest version however the code is under review.
If you're at all code oriented you can implement the fixes yourself.

I see. I was using stock 1.9.0.

I will try with open wrt 15.05 when i get the wr1043nd v2 router.

Thanks for info.

Lantis, your CLI page is nice reminder (should be a STICKY). How do I take the next step and use your https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargoyle/pull/501
page to test your latest work?
Would I be working on a copy of the latest 1.9.0 bin or on the router itself using PuTTY?
I'd like to incorporate your fixes and then...possible include some of The Bleeding Edge.
I'm only really interested in WNDR3800 for AP and repeater and I cannot afford to d/l the .torrent file for the latest build.

You'll need the latest 1.9.X.
Since we have the same router I have the file available somewhere I will provide it for you after work.

You'll want to use the WinSCP section to modify the /www/basic.sh and /www/js/basic.js files.
The easiest way is on GitHub to click "raw" which will give you a plain format text page of the entire file with the changes so you can copy paste them.

Don't worry about editing the config files they are only for building.

You'll need to then opkg update and then opkg install relayd.
Then edit the file under /etc/hotplug.d/iface/30-relay with the other changes from GitHub.

If this is unclear let me know

I don't see a raw on GitHub.

I saw the code but...overwhelming

not sure

I can open the basic.sh and edit it but with what?

I'm definitely missing something

Sorry i wasn't very clear.

From the link you went to earlier with my proposed changes, you go to "Files changed".
from there you select "view" on each file.
Then you click "raw".

That gives you pure raw text of the code with my included changes.

Here is one example.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lanti ... s/basic.js


Regardless, i'm now going to compile the firmware with these changes for you.

Much appreciated

I'll try to copy paste too to get some more experience so I'll be less hopeless in the future.
