@dixit This is the factory reset process, per the document link I sent earlier

Config Settings - How to host a WiFi access point(no internet needed), while the ethernet port is running its own dhcp server?

@julianstogs-iti I would use the firewall rules to achieve what you want. Remove the relevant forward rule and block everything except the required port. uci show firewall The rules are in /etc/config/firewall

FAQ: How to check the clients connected to the Omega's WiFi AP?

Lazar Demin — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 14:23:57 GMT

Read /tmp/dhcp.leases to see the active DHCP leases. However, if a client disconnects, the DHCP lease will remain active for some time and the client will still be listed.

To get around this and find a list of active clients, the command iwpriv ra0 get_mac_table can be used in conjunction with the DHCP leases.
It will output a list of the MAC address of all connected clients.

# iwpriv ra0 get_mac_table
ra0       get_mac_table:
MAC                 Avg RSSI Last RSSI AP  AID PSM AUTH CTxR  LTxR  LDT       RxB       TxB       Conn Time
e4:ce:8f:0c:02:14   -53      -53       0   2   1   1    54    0     0         0         0         454

As soon as a client disconnects, it will no longer appear on the get_mac_table output.

This can then be cross-referenced with /tmp/dhcp.leases to get a list of active clients.

Can I configure 'station only' mode?

Cruzgr — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 05:33:09 GMT

All base stations in a wireless distribution system must be configured to use the same radio channel, method of encryption (none, WEP, WPA or WPA2) and the same encryption keys. They may be configured to different service set identifiers (SSIDs). WDS also requires every base station to be configured to forward to others in the system.

@ab09 We need to know what firmware version you are using. Make sure you have you updated to the latest firmware version. Perform a factory reset to you can be sure it is nothing you have done to mess up the configuration. When booting do you see the Warp Core splash screen? Some people have had issues connecting to WiFi if they have the device set to US frequencies. In /etc/config/wireless look for this : config wifi-device 'radio0' option type 'ralink' option variant 'mt7628' option country 'US' Remove it and reboot. If that doesn't fix the issue, try fixing the channel instead of option channel 'auto' set it to a valid channel for your region. Channel 11 is usually good but your situation may differ so you can try anything in the range 1 - 11 for 2.4Ghz

How to disable Wi-Fi access point

crispyoz — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 18:15:26 GMT

@Modest-Polykarpovich this question has been asked countless times. If you disable the access point you are also disabling all wifi on the device. My solution is to hide the access point and set a very complex key. Not a perfect solution but better than nothing.

Number of clients connected to wifi ap

György Farkas — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 23:43:14 GMT

@Kim-Nyholm I think iw and iwinfo are not working as expected due to WARP CORE (the Onion Enhanced MT7688 WiFi Driver). Check the '/tmp/dhcp.leases' file that lists all the devices which connected to that AP so far (in the last 12 hours - it's the default lease time). If you want to know only the number of active clients then flush actualize the arp cache in some way. Do you want an example?

AP mode selecting same channel as Home Router

@György-Farkas Certainly not a bug, but I would not consider it a "feature" but rather it is an attribute.

Network configuration

Douglas Kryder — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 17:06:10 GMT

@Mark-Nagaev my bandwidth limitation is mostly because my cellular provider has a max download of 25 - 30mbps. that's the best i get. so any devices connected to the omega2+ share that. if one device is doing youtube video then any others really struggle to do anything useful. however if 2-3 devices are doing casual browsing then it varies from sorta acceptable to memories of 1996 and 56K modem. at least the hotspot keeps the line open. to answer your query i think your issue is more a function of shairpoint software than omega2 hardware.

Cannot send/receive packets from WiFi to Cellular Modem

aobs — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 13:41:52 GMT

The original firewall configuration is correct. The problem is the config interface 'usb' option ifname 'wwan0' option proto 'dhcp' After removing this from /etc/config/network, I can get internet on the mobile device after connecting to the Omega.

Access Point settings page broken

György Farkas — Thu, 24 May 2018 07:35:21 GMT

@Aj-Blosser said in Access Point settings page broken: Thanks, I tried that but I get to this part: /etc/init.d/wireless restart and there is no wireless file in /etc/init.d This is another - "It worked at previously!" @Lazar-Demin - Onion DOCS issue. Run wifimanager or wifi depending on your firmware version. A reboot helps too . After a Factory Reset you should repeat the WiFi setup (on CLI) or the whole First Time Setup (on the web based Console) procedure again. And please submit a ticket ... or Just merged a bunch of Pull Requests to the Docs, one of them fixes this very thing! / @Lazar-Demin / Good luck!

Demo Wifi AP sniffer

@Hank-Hill said in Demo Wifi AP sniffer: Ekhau As far I as know, there have been many problems (read: impossible) to set the Omega in monitor mode - see this post. I didn't try yet but I think that with the GPS expansion it could be possible releasing something like that..
