Hello everyone, I'm new and not very experienced with OpenWRT, I managed to install Openwrt on a Fritz 4020, I realized one thing though: if there is no internet connection the SSID is not blown up and therefore it is not possible to connect to the router via wifi in the absence of internet connection. Is this behavior normal? Is it possible to fix it?
Thanks
This is not normal behaviour. What have you modified in the configuration of the router? Did you add travelmate by any chance?

You have a wifi client configured, which explains the behaviour.
Install travelmate package which deals with this problem.
Yes I have 2 wifi clients configured that I use to go on the internet using existing wifi networks, but when these networks are not present the router no longer blows up the SSID
I installed travelmate but it doesn't work the same. Travelmate creates an interface and if I add stations, they are configured as clients
Each radio can only be tuned to a single channel. If one radio is a STA and an AP at the same time, both must be tuned to the same channel. So, until the STA can connect to an upstream AP, it does not have a defined channel, and neither does the AP.
Thanks, there is a solution for this?
The standard solution is to use travelmate... what is exactly that does not work for you?
I installed Travelmate by creating a new interface (wizard) and I created a new station. If the router no longer hears the station (STA) I don't see the WIFI (AP) anymore either. So even with travelmate same problem
This has been fixed in travelmate 2.1.2-1 (see https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/ce20f8d88be4fefaae15b06d18eef1639e992cd8)
