  3. Disable AP and set static IP

Disable AP and set static IP

  • S

    Just got my Omega2+'s, they're working fine.

    As I would like to do a more secure Wi-Fi setup, I am wondering how I can:

    • Set up a static IP
    • Disable the AP and make the Omega a "standard" wifi client

    I have tried to disable the AP from the Onion Console, but that setting doesn't seem to do anything.

    Anyway, as I can easily access the serial console, I would actually prefer to do the above through command-line. I have done a few experiments with the /etc/config/network and /etc/config/wireless files, but I couldn't come up with a fully reliable configuration.

    Thanks in advance!

    Did you check out the wiki (even if it was made for omega1, similarities are still there) ... i guess there are several hints how to set a static IP.

    I also have some trouble setting a static IP address

    What I tried and know so far :

    The settings are stored at this location /etc/config/network
    You can find info on the parameters there :
    https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/network

    I setup a static ip address for interface wwan with option proto 'static'
    I also setup the right gateway and then reloaded the network settings with /etc/init.d/network reload

    The static IP address is there after I reload the config, and I can ping the Omega and from the Omega I can ping my router

    The problem I have is that internet access is not working anymore. I think it might be a DNS issue.

    I've found the same thing in my efforts to do the same.

    Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
    I've seen this on several different omega2+ modules now.
    Wifi Client configured with static IP can ping local network, but cannot reach the internet.

    It works fine when using DHCP, though.

    @Thomas-Jager Please don't necropost, on a 8 year old thread! Just create a new thread and add a reference to the old thread.

    My guess is your DNS is the issue, DHCPD (when you use dynamic IP), also sets your DNS among other things, you can probably fix it by hard configuring the DNS when you use a static IP.

    Try changing the wireless config for sta by adding the following settings:

    option netmask '255.255.255.0'
    option gateway '192.168.1.1'
    option dns '8.8.8.8'

    The gateway and netmask will be specific to your network. After making those changes restart the network using the command "service network restart" or just reboot. If it still does not work then post the output of the following commands:

    ping 8.8.8.8
    traceroute 8.8.8.8
    uci show network
    uci show wireless

    Then set back to dynamic ip (using dhcp) and post the output of the above commands, and also add the command:

    ifconfig

    Sorry it's a habit to search threads for common issues before posting a question and the similar issue others had above weren't addressed.
    Nevertheless, I had already set those parameters for the wwan interface and it didn't make any difference.
    Here's the output from those commands.

    @drmoeder As I expected there is no default route, so you need to add one, add to your network configuration:

    option gateway '192.168.5.254'
    option netmask '255.255.240.0'

    config route 'default'
    option interface 'wwan'
    option gateway '192.168.5.254'
    option target '0.0.0.0'
