No Help.
Shouldn't there be a /var/run/hostapd-phy1 and .conf ??

Plugged in my old router for wireless access....Not the desired setup.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm guessing that it will be related to the Netgear 3700 problem reported earlier as the two are quite similar devices.

I'm hoping someone can clue me in here and help me send my old router to the recycle bin.

Wireless Internet is now working.
I noticed that wireless connections were assigned 192.168.0.xxx instead of 192.168.1.xxx
Reseting the Router IP to 192.168.0.1 solved this issue.

Still looking for a way to bring up the second radio.
I'd really like to use that.....

Web interface reporting wireless disabled is only a minor detail.

Any help bringing up the second radio would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think Eric is working on dual radio support.

I was browsing through the GIT and saw he was trying out
some dual-radio changes/implementation.

Probably in the next build or two you will see some support?

Yes, I can confirm what DoesItMatter is saying. This has already been fixed in the git repo, and will be included in the next release.

Dual band support has been implemented in the repo, but for now the second 5Ghz radio can only be used as an AP, not as a client or with WDS. This is what you will see in the next release as well.

Great News!...Thanks Eric
AP is all I need on the second radio anyway.
So pull from GIT and build or wait...hmm...Dunno yet.

That's great Eric. Are there big issues with implementing WDS or client mode on the second radio? I had been considering getting a second 3700v2 and linking the two via 5ghz (as not all clients support 5, and as it has less interference and thus should be faster...)...
