This is what I need:
- WAN side: get connection (DHCP) from existing 2.4 GHz WiFi
- LAN side: have a different subnet with NAT, both on wired and WiFi (with different SSID, both for 2.4 and 5 GHz).
On sunday I wanted to enable AES on LAN side WiFi, and checking on the forum I found a link to this page:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless#wpa.modes
According to this page I modified my /etc/config/wireless file by putting "psk2+tkip+aes" in the right sections.
Still everything was working correctly...
After that (damn me!!) I wanted to revert back to original configuration, so I took away "+tkip+aes" from the configuration, but I think I made a mess somewhere else, because it stopped working.
I tried the following:
- Delete /etc/config/wireless and created a new one with wifi detect command
- Reset to default via Gargoyle web interface
- Re-upload latest Gargoyle firmware
- Recovery mode -> upload latest Netgear Firmware -> reset to defaults - upload latest Gargoyle firmware.
I also noticed something strange: the very first time I installed the Gargoyle firmware, the default SSID was Gargoyle.
Now, after every configuration reset or firmware re-installation (even after the last step), the default SSID is OpenWRT.
Still the problem remains...
If I use the router in "client" mode everything works fine: the router acquires the IP from WiFi, and wired LAN works very well.
If I set the wireless as "Client + AP", the router behave like loosing the 2.4 GHz band: it does not catch the WiFi signal and does not broadcast the 2.4 GHz SSID. It still does broadcast the 5 GHz SSID, and wired/wireless (5 GHz only) LAN works correctly (even the DHCP server), but of course there's no connectivity to the WAN side.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
