Hi,
I've got a Linksys E1700 running LEDE 17.01.4 with the hope of using it as a wireless bridge. From the guides I read I need to perform a wireless scan to set the wireless network I wish it to connect to and bridge.
Unfortunately whenever I perform a scan nothing happens, no networks are displayed. It appears capable of broadcasting wireless as I've tried with the wireless interface enabled and disabled and I can see the LEDE network on my phone.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Just specify the SSID by configuring it manually, no need to do a scan then.
So perhaps there is a larger problem.
Running the wireless as an AP works fine, I can connect my phone to it and DHCP works which would suggest the wireless drivers are fine.
Manually configuring as a client as you suggested just results in. (Yes, that's the name of the host wireless network, I got really annoyed with BT)
0% SSID:
Just in case it helps
root@LEDE:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option hwmode '11g'
option path 'platform/10180000.wmac'
option htmode 'HT20'

option channel 'auto'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
option device 'radio0'
option key 'SNIP'
option network 'lan'
option ssid '💩💩💩'

option encryption 'psk2'

"mode": "sta",
"encryption": "psk2",
"network": [
"lan"
],
"mode": "sta"
}
}
]
}
}
But I think this is the important bit. Am I reading it right that it doesn't support connecting as a client or is that not what that means?

OHHHHH!!!
You cannot "wireless bridge," but you can make a WirelessWAN as if it were a wired WAN port.
If you want to "bridge," make all ports LAN, delete WAN, and keep the SSID on the LAN Interface.
From: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless
Most wireless drivers do not support bridging in client mode (see Bridged Client Mode Issues and relayclient, as well as notes on specific devices
I believe I've done as you suggested but it's still just saying "Wireless is disabled or not associated"

Why do you have this option set?
Mistakenly. I'd tried with and without WDS, it made no difference.
