RE305/RE200 repeater

Installing and Using OpenWrt
83

I am set to 192.168.2.1 and ran ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew but failed to get an IP address

my phone connected to the broadcasted wifi got a new ip but still has no internet connection

84

I'm now ready to suggest a reset and to setup the 305 locally.

  • Change LAN to 192.168.2.1
  • setup the STA; and
  • the 2 APs

Leave everything else as default.

FYI, the 2.4 GHz AP should be available as soon as you set it up and you should be able to disconnect the Ethernet cord.

85

ok I will try it
would you be able to guide me though it so its 100% correct this time

86

I just did:

Perform no other steps before posting here to inform us.

87

thats everything setup just waiting for it to apply

89

???

You also need to browse to this new IP with your client's new DHCP lease - or it will revert!

90

I did the apply without revert option and connected to 192.168.2.1 that part is working

What part isn't working (we can't guess)?

92

I have a 2.4GHz broadcast but no 5GHz broadcast says disabled in LuCi but is enabled

93

Has your STA connected yet?

(We've discussed this.)

94

STA shows as connected

95

Please post wireless config.

96

it was because I changed the RE450 back to DFS, Sorry I did that but I need to somehow be compliant to ofcom

band A can not be used outside
band B can no used inside and outside
band C is paid for

thats why I did it

anyway not I am back on channel 48 its broadcasting but no internet connection

97

I will try and get the config but will have to use laptop and somehow move it to my pc

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'platform/10300000.wmac'
        option channel '1'
        option band '2g'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option cell_density '0'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/0000:01:00.0'
        option channel 'auto'
        option band '5g'
        option htmode 'VHT40'
        option cell_density '0'

config wifi-iface 'wifinet0'
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid '2.4GHz-COX-NETWORK1'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key '##'
        option network 'lan'

config wifi-iface 'wifinet1'
        option device 'radio1'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'COX-NETWORK1'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key '##'
        option network 'lan'


config wifi-iface 'wifinet3'
        option device 'radio1'
        option mode 'sta'
        option network 'wwan'
        option ssid COX-NETWORK'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key '###'

I think that write copied from earlier and changed the part that have changed

98

Again:

You'll need to ask someone who knows about ofcom regulations, I have no clue what you're talking about - and what you're saying makes no sense in FCC land.

If you know you cannot set a legal channel, then I would advise closing this topic.

No, you connect to the 2.4 GHz AP and browse to 192.168.2.1 as we discussed already.

99

Also, did you add WWAN to the WAN firewall zone?

100

as long as I don't use it outside I should be fine for now until I work it out
but I also need DFS for the speed, so is there a way to get it working

I could have do that, why didn't I think of that

WWAN is in the WAN zone

101

I donno, especially since I told you:

:+1:

102

still no internet connection though

should wwan have an IP
