I have a GL Inet Flint as my main router. I need an extender to cover my whole house and I am trying to repurpose my ISP's wireless network extender to work with the SSIDs of my Flint router.
When I plug it in via ethernet to my Flint, it indicates that it gets network. However, I need it to connect wirelessly to my Flint and extend internet range in that way (running an ethernet cable is not possible right now).
In the booster admin page, it does not let you edit the SSID or WPA-2 password directly. However, I can view and edit the JSON payload that is POSTed when I save settings to enable/disable wifi access points and WPS on each. But changing the SSID or password parameters (e.g. "w2_4_ssid" and "w2_4_wpa_key") does not work. i.e. only those fields that are changeable with the web UI can be changed with this POST request.
Payload below. Is there anything else I can try to override the SSID and password settings for the booster config?
