How to disable MAC Filtering for the Guest SSID?

Post by pwcpp »

The function of MAC Filtering seems to be active or inactive for the main SSID and the Guest SSID simultaneously by default. How can I disable it for the Guest SSID? I just want it to be available only for the main SSID.

I disabled Guest Network in Gargoyle web interface "Connection - Basic" and added it manually. Then the Guest SSID would never be affected by Mac Filtering.

Now the problem is, the custom wireless settings in /etc/config/wireless will lost every time after clicking "Save Changes" button. Could anyone tell me which file will be executed after the button clicked? I wanna see if it is possible to solve it.

I've created a shell script to check automatically if the custom wireless settings in /etc/config/wireless exist after the router powered on. And also the checking will be running periodically. But this temporary solution is not perfect enough.

Solved

Just inserted the shell script at the beginning of the function "wifi_updown" in /sbin/wifi. Now it will check /etc/config/wireless and make a fix every time after clicking "Save Changes" button in Gargoyle web interface "Connection - Basic".
