I am using OpenWrt to repeat a Wifi Hotspot.
The AC connection to the HotSpot works, the issue is when users try to connect to AC Access Point, when the hotspot which is a Client is on the AC Master Access Point cannot be seen and does not work.
If I disable the ACClient network then the ACMaster network shows and users can connect.
I can get users in by connecting an N2.4 Master but I think I could get better performance if I could get users in via AC
Does OpenWrt support two AC networks?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a way to make the AC Master work with the other AC Connected as Client to Wifi Hotspot?
are the client and master running on the same channel ?
not all radios are capable of doing client and master at the same time.
Braindead, loved that movie
Thanks for your reply.
They both had channel set to Auto
so I changed the channel on the master to Channel 36
Saved and Apply
Rebooted Router
Now they both say Channel 36, but it does seem to have done the trick, I can now see the ACMaster wifi and connect to it.
So I owe you a beer or some brain take away.
Very grateful for you help.
Before I mark it as the solution, is it normal for them to all change
Also how come if I set it to Channel 36 it says 48 below
Router is a Netgear R7800
