Disabling the Omega AP?
-
Hello everyone,
I am wondering how one might go about disabling the built-in AP on the omega devices.
I've tried both with an original 2+ as well as the newer LTE one. I have had the same results on both.What I did was the following commands:
uci set wireless.ap.disabled=1
uci commit wireless
/etc/init.d/network restartIn both cases the wireless connection would not come back up and let it reconnect with the router. I had to put on the ethernet expansion and plug it in to the router to get back on it. Does anyone have any ideas on the propper way to do this? From what I read this was supposed to be the propper way.
Thanks,
Nate

@Nate To completely switch off Omega2's WiFi radio try to use these commands
uci set wireless.radio0.disabled='1'; uci commit wireless; wifi

Hello,
I do not want to completely turn off the radio. In fact that is what happened to me which I wasn't trying to do. I just want to turn of the ap.
Thanks,
Nate

@Nate You can't turn off the Omega2's WiFi AP and still connect to an external WiFi network.
It's not a bug - it's a well known feature / an attribute of Omega2(+).

@György-Farkas That seems like a pretty big security concern to me. Why would a device that once connected no longer needs it's ap be forced to be broadcasting as one where anyone could attack it?
-
@Nate it is what it is, but I just hide it and put a complex password on it.
@György-Farkas nice to see you call it an "attribute".
-
Considering it's just OpenWrt / linux I'm sure there is a way. I'll keep digging into it. Might just need to swap ap / sta.
-
@Nate the Omega Warp Core driver is not open source, so that will be your roadblock.

Just because of you.
