Wireless bridge not working with WEP AP

Post by monq »

I have this configuration in my TP-Link TL-WR741ND v2.4:

Code: Select all

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '6'

config wifi-iface 'cfg2'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'sta'
        option client_bridge '1'
        option ssid 'vodafoneAAAA'
        option encryption 'psk'
        option key '[redacted]'

config wifi-iface 'cfg4'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'my_own_ap'
        option encryption 'wep'
        option key '1122334455'
I can use none/psk/psk2 in the my_own_ap AP with no problems, but if I use wep, I have no connectivity, even if I set the IP address manually. What may be happening?

I'm pretty sure you can't use WEP with 802.11n.

You're right. But I specified "option hwmode 11g" as well and it did not work either. Sorry for not mentioning it.
