When i load firmware the wireless config will be like below:
config wifi-device 'wifi0'
option type 'qcawifi'
option macaddr '00:26:75:bd:37:24'
option hwmode '11ng'
option txpower '16'
option htmode 'HT20'
option disabled '0'
option channel '1'
config wifi-iface
option device 'wifi0'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'Test_ap'
option network 'lan'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'Test_ap'
option wds '1'
so it works as Access point, i can connect to it any devices. When i scan
it shows me list of devices then connect to anyone. then the wireless
config will becomes like below:
config wifi-device 'wifi0'
option type 'qcawifi'
option macaddr '00:26:75:bd:37:24'
option hwmode '11ng'
option txpower '16'
option htmode 'HT20'
option disabled '0'
option channel '1'
config wifi-iface
option network 'wwan'
option ssid 'D-link-Router'
option encryption 'psk2'
option device 'wifi0'
option mode 'sta'
option key '0010069039'
option wds '1'
Then i add one more ap mode so wireless config becomes,
config wifi-device 'wifi0'
option type 'qcawifi'
option macaddr '00:26:75:bd:37:24'
option hwmode '11ng'
option txpower '16'
option htmode 'HT20'
option disabled '0'
option channel '1'
config wifi-iface
option network 'wwan'
option ssid 'D-link-Router'
option encryption 'psk2'
option device 'wifi0'
option mode 'sta'
option key '0010069039'
option wds '1'
config wifi-iface
option device 'wifi0'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'Test_ap'
option network 'lan'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'Test_ap'
option wds '1'
This i added manually one ap mode.
So if i copy this config file, build and load this firmware, its load what
it was there so it shows one client which i was connected last time and one
AP which i added.
But now i cannot scan anymore and connect to new router instead of old
client.
This is the problem i am facing.
Basically i need to configure the wireless file for repeater mode.
So after connecting to another router this SSID still should be there and
other device can connect to it.
