Connecting to WiFi with SSH

[janvonfalken]

I flashed openwrt to my Netgear EX3700 Repeater. I now need to install the luCI, but I need an internet connection to do that, so I want to connect the repeater to my existing network. I enabled the radio0 and edited the network and wireless file, but I cant connect.

network file

I am sure I typed all my router information in correctly. What do I have to change in order to get this working, do you guys have any ideas?

It won't work because you don't have any network interface wwan

[jeff]

Try only one of SSID and BSSID for the client config.

I also don’t see a WWAN interface with an address or a route using it.

I’m not sure why you’re changing the LAN’s MAC address. I would be surprised if that’s the issue though.

[janvonfalken]

The mac address change is pre-configured, I dont know why. How would I create an WWAN interface? I'm sorry I dont know this, my only real networking experience was setting up my nighthawk router with dd-wrt 2 years ago, I am only just now learning to use the command line.

edit: did the first thing that came to my mind and changed the wwan to wan in the wireless file, it's working now.
