Hello,
I have a Joowin JW-WR758AC V1. I would call myself a user with a bit experience. So I can follow a written setup guide. But I'm not an admin who can configure networks. I just like the idea to get rid of the original firmware and get OpenWrt running on it. For your information. I use it now as a repeater. Because my router don't provide good wlan. So I plugged it in a few rooms away and my mobile devices are connecting to it.
So if I got everything right I have to follow the "Factory install: First-time installation on a device" and when it comes to the point how I want to use it. Then I have to do everything written in "Enabling a Wi-Fi access point on OpenWrt" and "Wi-Fi extender / repeater / bridge configuration"?
My router is an old FritzBox 6320. Its IP address is 192.168.178.1. So for the repeater I would use the Joowin standard IP 192.168.10.1. For me it looks like these IPs will still do the job. Any comments?
When I used the repeater with the original firmware, I figured out a wlan name should not be too long. So if it had the name "ThisIsMyNiceAndCoolWlan" on the router. Then I had to shorten both names to "MyWlan". Can someone confirm this for the joowin firmwaren and can I use a long name with OpenWrt again? Because my original wlan name was just nice and I miss it.
Does the OpenWrt for the Joowin JW-WR758AC has a grafik interface? Because that is very importend to me. Shure I will enable SSH like it says in the manual. But for the normal configuration buttons in a browser would be very helpful to me.
