I'm trying to create a wireless network. Unfortunately this seems to be impossible, since all wireless networks I create are marked as "not associated". The interfaces are marked as "not active" and trying to activate them fails. The wireless networks are associated to the "lan"-interface. What am I missing? Where can I find relevant information - logs etc.
An AP that is working normally will show that if no stations are connected. Have you checked that the wifi is on the air?
I can not start the wifi AP because it is not associated. The wifi is not on air. Restarting the interface doesn't help either.
Let’s review the configuration
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
Okay, output follows.
