RPI3 - Wifi Repeater

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all,

I would like to configure my Raspberry PI3 as a WiFi repeater.
It looks like this is what I need: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/bridgedclient

I am new to all this and when I run the described commands they are not found are invalid arguments.
Example:
root@lede:~# iwlist scan
-ash: iwlist: not found

Should this howto work with lede also? If not is it in general possible to confgire RPI3 as wifi repeater with lede?

Thanks for any help.

P.S.: I did not get ssh working via wlan, only via cable. A tip with that would also help :slight_smile:

kind regards
me

I think you need to use the 'iw' command. 'Iwlist' is not present on my router anymore, but it probably was on the last stable OpenWrt release (a stable LEDE release is expected soon, but iwlist is a deprecated tool).

I think the iw equivalent is

# iw wlan0 scan

Good luck.
