Finally got 802.11v working (FULLY) - Few pointers

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Super easy thanks to all the great work. I’m running hynman’s master build on a r7800.

This is how I got it running on my 5ghz radio, you’ll need to do this for each access point. You can do it for 2.4ghz too if you change the radio name in the below command-

  1. Turn your 802.11r on (just click the toggle on the luci GUI)

  2. Enable v & k (run this command in its entirety):


uci set wireless.default_radio0.ieee80211v=1; uci set wireless.default_radio0.ieee80211k=1; uci set wireless.default_radio0.bss_transition=1; uci commit

You can check that they were added by running:
cat /etc/config/wireless

  1. go to software on your luci GUI, click the “update lists...” button.

  2. search for dawn in the filter box

  3. install the dawn and luci-app-dawn

  4. refresh your browser page and enjoy the new dawn options. I’ve found its pretty good right out of the box.
