Connection problems with a linux phone

Unfortunately not yet

Which SSID are you trying to use with your phone?
Let's take a new look at the wireless config file.

I am trying to connect to the guest SSID

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option path 'platform/soc/a000000.wifi'
	option band '2g'
	option channel 'auto'
	option cell_density '0'
	option htmode 'HT40'
	option country 'BR'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
	option device 'radio0'
	option network 'lan'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'My 2.4 wifi'
	option key 'passwd'
	option encryption 'psk2'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option path 'platform/soc/a800000.wifi'
	option band '5g'
	option htmode 'VHT80'
	option channel 'auto'
	option cell_density '0'
	option country 'BR'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
	option device 'radio1'
	option network 'lan'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'Grappa5'
	option encryption 'psk2'
	option key 'passwd'

config wifi-iface 'wifinet2'
	option device 'radio0'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'Guest'
	option key 'passwd'
	option encryption 'psk2'


The "Guest" SSID is not connected to any network. It will not have any network connectivity even if it can establish a physical link.

What an idiot I am...I must have passed the touchpad somehow there and click out the 'lan' ...than you so much for the help, now it works. Making a backup file now.

Glad it is fixed now.

As an aside, if the guest SSID just connects to the same lan as the other SSIDs, it doesn't actually provide any practical benefit in terms of security/privacy. If you want to create a guest network to isolate the guests from your main (trusted) network, you need to also create a guest network interface and appropriate firewall zone/rules.

I need to learn how to do that.

Thank you so much, I tried that tutorial, but something was wrong, it did not work at the end, maybe because those info and screenshot are different from the current LUCI interface.

Feel free to open a new thread and we can help you through that process.
