@Lazar-Demin Thanks!

Verified working with b145.

@Luciano-S. BTW, is it possible to use any other OpenWRT repo:s for Omega2? Are there mips_24KEc packages out there which fit?

Found zile here:

https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/

I could just download and install using:

opkg install zile_2.3.24-4_mipsel_24kc.ipk

@Mikael-Djurfeldt ,yea ... you are a beta tester and it is great that you inform us.

You can go back any time to any version ... check out pls:

Thanks

@Luciano-S. said in Can't switch off AP mode:

@Mikael-Djurfeldt , there are issues with some browsers and the web-interface ...at least with omega1 was it so when it came out. And that's why Maksim also gave you the link for manual configuration in the terminal ... the script does the same ... just through the Web-app.

If manually not works check your firmware and bring it up to date. You are not the first one with this problem.

Well, as I write already in my first post above, I know that I, in principle, could solve the problem by changing /etc/config/{wireless,network}. However, my problem is that I don't know how they should look like to get just a simple Wifi client on my WLAN. I could of course experiment after having read the OpenWRT docs, but want to have a solution which both fits the Omega2 hardware well and also doesn't mess up the Omega Console or other Omega specific software. So, I would really appreciate if anyone who has succeeded in just having a simple WLAN client setup could post the config files for this.

I'm examining to what extent Omega2 can be used as a wifi range extender. Now there seems to be some confusion about what a range extender is. Some "range extenders" use the same channel as the router and re-transmits on a different SSID. In my view, a range extender is rather a device which receives packets from the wireless router and re-transmits them using the same SSID, preferably on a different radio channel.

I have three questions. I'm interested in the answers to all independently:

1. Can Omega2 receive on one wireless channel and transmit on another? More specifically, can the two virtual wifi interfaces (AP + STA) operate on different channels?

2. I tried to set my "option channel" to a specific channel rather than 'auto'. This didn't change anything. Is it not possible to choose on which channel the Omega2 AP is operating?

3. If operating on the same channel, is it possible to configure both AP and client to use the same SSID? Some "range extenders" seem to cope with this.
