I need help reviewing the WI-Fi AP+STA Repeater documentation on the wiki. It's at: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/wifiextenders/ap_sta
I updated much of the narrative of the document. I am looking for someone who knows more than i do to verify that it's still correct. Here's what changed:
-
Edited much of the narrative text. Does it remain correct?
-
I narrowed down the terminology to "hotspot" for the upstream, and "router" to refer to the repeater/extender. I tried to use it consistently thereafter.
-
Tidied up the configuration script;
- Made variables at the top for the things that people need to change
- The remainder should (hopefully) remain the same
- I needed to tweak the "radio0" to use "radio1" for my router. We probably should include some instructions for how to select the right radio. I would likely introduce another variable to include the radio's name.
The script seemed to work fine. However, I got multiple messages that radio1 was not enabled (even when the first draft of the script only mentioned 'radio0')
Other questions:
-
If I run the script multiple times, the
uci add_listcommand adds the "wwan" interface multiple times to the firewall config. This doesn't seem to harm anything, but it looks odd. -
Does the Revert script work? I didn't try it
-
What is the wwanHotspot section for? The description could be expanded.
-
Why disable DNS rebind protection? This description could be expanded as well.
