LEDE Reboot 17.01.2 r3435-65eec8bd5f / LuCI lede-17.01 branch (git-17.152.82987-7f6fc16)
These are my 2 wlan interfaces:
$ hostapd_cli interface
Selected interface 'wlan24G'
Available interfaces:
wlan24G
wlan5G
But only wlan5G
is permitted to use WPS
.
I want to change selected interface but:
$ hostapd_cli interface wlan5G
Selected interface 'wlan24G'
Is this a bug?
I would like to change the default interface for hostapd_cli
, how can I do this? (I know that I can add -i <interface_name>
in every command).
It's not a bug. I just bumped into the same issue today when using WPS to connect a printer. Hostapd by default selects the first interface it encounters (see the hostapd --help).
ok, but hostapd_cli -h
says too:
...
commands:
...
interface [ifname] = show interfaces/select interface
...
Supposedly it should select another interface with that command but it doesn't work. By that, I asked if this is a bug or an error in help.
Sorry, I overlooked that. It looks like the wording is off in the help page.

This problem still persists in hostapd_cli 2.7. Is there other way than hostapd_cli to kick client?
root@lede:~# hostapd_cli disassociate -i wlan0-2 11:a2:28:1a:22
Selected interface 'wlan1-2'
FAIL
root@lede:~# hostapd_cli interface
Selected interface 'wlan1-2'
Available interfaces:
wlan1-2
wlan1-1
wlan1
wlan0-2
wlan0-1
wlan0

Hi
May be you can use command:
hostapd_cli -i wlan0-2 disassociate wlan0-2 11:a2:28:1a:22
Had this problem today trying to "push" the WPS button on the correct interface.
Here's what worked for me.
SSH into the router.
send the command hostapd_cli
Now, from inside hostapd.
enter interface phy1-ap0
(obv use the name of your desired interface).
enter wps_pbc
to press the button.
enter wps_get_status
to see that it is Active .
