Picostation2 Wireless Brige/Repeater Setup Woes
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2021 2:07 pm
Folks,
Can someone put me out of my misery ? Can be done perahaps with some manuals mods or am i simply delusional ?
Primary Router
- Linksys WRT1200AC
- OpenWrt 19.07.5 r11257-5090152ae3
- Static IP 192.168.1.253
- Wired to cable modem (WAN) and local network (LAN)
- 2.4Ghx & 5Ghz Wifi Networks Functioning
- No Guest Wifi
- DHCP Enabled
- Static DHCP Leases Setup
Secondary Router
- TP-Link Archer A7 v5
- Gargoyle obsy 1.13.0.0pre7 (237e3df7)
- Mode Gateway
- Static IP 192.168.1.252
- Wired to Primary
- DHCP Disabled
- 2.4Ghx & 5Ghz Wifi Networks Functioning
- MyGuest Wifi B+G (to facilitate the PicoStation non N capability)
- Open Security
Wifi Repeater
- Picostation2 AR2316 (MIPS) - https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/picostation2
Goal: Setup a PicoStation2 (i know its old just have it lying around) as a Wireless Repeater for the Guest Wifi B+G from the Secondary Router above
Ive read many articles, tried many configurations
but cannot get this to function. Im wondering if this is simply beyond the units capabilities (as latest dd-wrt doesnt seem to enable the Repeater config in ots GUI)
The PicoStation2 appears to only have specific support for Gargoyle 1.10 so i TFTP flashed
https://www.gargoyle-router.com/downloa ... uashfs.bin
This is functioning. Gargoyle 1.10 does not however appear to provide the full functionality as outlined in the wiki
https://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/do ... e_repeater
I do however appear to be able to set the appropriate limited settings (see attached) and on a reboot connect to the repeated MyGuest network
but i cannot get a DHCP assignment so no internet etc
(see attached status on reboot)
Looking through the dd-wrt wiki regarding wireless repeater there is a lot of reference to adding firewall rules and/or using dnsmasq & vap but id really like to implement the simpler approach in Gargoyle.
Is what i want even possible with the PicoStation2 (AR2316) ?
Note- i tried to add attachments but it says board quota has been reached
