LAN WiFi Bridge issue
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2018 8:33 pm
I am using a VoCore2 + Ultimate dock and try to create a simple WiFi Access Point. But I failed on two points.
1. I can not connect the bridge to the wireless interface. I have tried may setup configuration with temporary success. All attempts started from factory settings:
Assign a static IP address to the predefined bridge interface 'LAN'
Connect 'LAN' bridge to the interfaces eth0.1 and ra0
Move eth0 to vlan1
Disable 'WAN' and 'WAN6'
Disable DHCP server
Disable firewall
Setup AP mode with desired SSID
This configuration worked some random times and will most certainly not survive a reboot.
The problem her is the WiFi AP interface. It broadcast SSID and can be connected to provided that the client has a static IP. But there is no network connectivity after that, even the IP address of the 'LAN' bridge is not reachable. During the odd case when I got it to work by playing with the settings, there is not problem and the DHCP request from the Client is forwarded and everything thereafter too.
2. I am also trying use the U.FL antenna connector. The documentation here is pure, I would like to use the U.FL antenna only and disable the or-board antenna. Any suggestion how to do that?
using the ant2.sh script here has no influence on the problem in 1.
As an aside I noticed that the LuCI interface shown the AP Signal and Noise. whereby the Signal remains at -256dBm and Noise seems to show the Signal strength. At lest after ant2.sh.
Could this be patched?
Thank you.
