I have also an EAP225 which is working fine and after some comparisons of the /etc/config/wireless I ended up with a working one. I do not know what fixed it, either if it was a configuration or it just went up after one of the multiple restarts. Just in case, this is the configuration:

The previous non working previous configuration:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option hwmode '11a'
        option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0'
        option country 'AR'
        option cell_density '0'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option channel 'auto'
 
 config wifi-iface 'wifinet2'
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'HOME5'
        option key 'HOMPASSWORD'
        option ieee80211k '1'
        option rrm_neighbor_report '1'
        option rrm_beacon_report '1'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option ieee80211r '1'
        option nasid 'AP11'
        option mobility_domain '4F61'
        option ft_over_ds '0'
        option ft_psk_generate_local '1'
        option ieee80211w '1'

And this is the new working one:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option hwmode '11a'
        option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0'
        option country 'AR'
        option disabled '0'********************************* Added this
        option cell_density '0'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option channel 'auto'
        
config wifi-iface 'wifinet2'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'************************* Added this
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'HOME5'
        option key 'HOMPASSWORD'
        option ieee80211k '1'
        option rrm_neighbor_report '1'
        option rrm_beacon_report '1'
        option encryption 'sae-mixed'***************** Changed here
        option ieee80211r '1'
        option nasid 'AP11'
        option mobility_domain '4f61'
        option ft_over_ds '0'
        option ft_psk_generate_local '1'
        option ieee80211w '1'

I cant say this is the problem but I can guarantee you don’t need to specify all these packages.
Almost all these are dependables of the luci package.

Uhttpd is always installed by default.

Luci-ssl is needed as a addon to the luci package.

Kmod packages, where have you found these to add/remove in packages?

Hi flygarn12, thanks for your answer, I just got it working, not really sure at all how.

The only issue I have is that I cannot set my country channels (Argentina AR) manually at all since many of them are not are not supported by the hardware even-tough I configured the radio with argentina as country and the channels are in the list of luci:

In order to make it work I have to leave it as "auto" or try and see which channels are allowed by the driver. For example channel 149 is one of the allowed ones.

Now regarding your questions, you may be right that most of the packages are already included, I just tried to be sure that they would be included since luci was not in the official build from eap245v3 as it is in other builds.

Regarding the kmod packages, I did not include any, I just specified the package with a "-" which removes them from the build. I did so to save space, I am not sure I specified the right ones or not.

On my build I only disabled services dnsmasq and odhcpd and installed luci and luci-ssl.
And activated dhcp client with “files”.

This is a dangerous way to go with imagebuilder because if you choose bad and then install it you are smoked without escape if it fails. A reset or something won’t save you in this situation.
And there is not much of a point to remove packages at mass because you don’t really have a memory size problem on eap245 to begin with.

If you don’t “know” I recommend install default settings and try remove/disable from a working firmware so it is more chance of rescue if it fails.

But this is just my imagebuilder tip of the day so you are free to do what you want.

Thanks @flygarn12 I see and understand your point and is true, in the eap245v3 I have plenty of space, 16M. The only complain regarding dnsmasq and odhcpd on a dumbap is that I had past problems with them because they got activated (for example in an upgrade, or GUI issue [this last one was on Gargoyle firmware]) and messed up my network just to realize a lot of days later it was due to I had more than one DHCP server on the network. It is also true I don't have to remove them because I can disable them in the build yes. Thanks for all, I'll try to follow your advice so I don't lose the rescue chance in case the device fails to work.

Regarding the channel selection where the wifi fails because the driver doesn't support it eventhough I correctly setted the country and luci shows the channel in the list, do you think this is a bug I should report?

Thanks for all!

I forgot to comment the country code.
I wonder if that actually is hard coded in the device.

So Auto is probably the name of the game.

In TP-Link orig firmware you can’t choose country for wifi. But on the other hand the device is for me named EAP245 v3 EU. So there is a real possibility that they are hard coded by default to the region they are sold in.

Ohh that's a really good point, I bought it in Argentina and from the back I can see "EAP245(US)", so that would be the thing. So I guess mine doesn't comply at all with argentina but instead with the US. :angry:

Thanks for that point!

Hard to say, the region code covarage is probably pretty wide on the actual map. The find out you have to compare the actual EMC rules of US and Argentina if they are close enough to be used in the same chip/device.

These hard coded wifi devices will probably be more and more common to force compliance with regulations, if they have 5GHz band since that frequency is shared with weather radars and those are pretty much all over the world and they usually don’t want radio interference.

11

See this thread for some details on the region coding:

In short: it is possible (through OpenWrt) to change the hardcoded region. However, only US and EU have a matching radio firmware, so are only ones for which wireless will work.

12

When I read that link I can’t really find anything supporting a function to unlock regions. There is a hypotisis at the beginning and a lot of “make serial work” but the whole tread stops without a “solution” to anything really?

I don’t even know if he actually managed to unbrick the AP?

13

The product-info partition on the device contains a region encoding. Although the firmware includes a long list of possible region, they also only include radio firmwares for the US and EU regions. The other user managed to unbrick their device, and modify the product-info partition. At least to convert it to an EU device, and it's possible they also tried NZ, but that didn't (won't) work due to the missing radio firmwares.

It's not really "unlocking" either, but rather changing the hard-coded region the device adheres to. If you want full freedom selecting a radio region, you'd have to use OpenWrt.

14

The EU version doesn’t have that many channels either to choose between in original firmware so I don’t get the big thing about getting EU version.
At least not on my EU device.

Thank you both @flygarn12 and @svanheule , It's good to know there is no issue regarding the channels with Openwrt but instead in the tplink hardware MTD partition? Changing it from US to AR seems a dificult test for me as of today, but I am sure I will definitely have to try in the future as seems to be all new devices will come setted up this way.

Since I bought the device in argentina, I guess my best option is to leave it in Country Code = "driver default", I guess that is what TPlink was authorized to set up for my country.

An update for everyone with the original issue of this thread "TL-EAP245v3 AC band not working", the issue was that I was missing the line "option network 'lan'" which meant I could connect to wifi by manually setting IP, mask and gateway but it was not working automatically. After ading that line, it started to work. Another not minor point to take into account is the security settings, wpa3 doesn't work in all laptop wifi cards. I have a very old one which doesn't even find a wpa3 SSID, so I setted up a legacy SSID with wpa2 for it. Thanks again to @flygarn12 and @svanheule for their help regarding the other issues I have.

17

OpenWrt does not derive any region coding from the device, this is something you have to configure yourself. If you don't select Argentina, you end up with something that's legal everywhere, but can be very restricted for you specific location.

18

Ohh I see :tired_face:, so I will have to set different country codes and see which ones seem to capture the allowed bands from my comuntry right? I will try changing it and see which channels it enables with "iw reg get"

19

You just have to change the setting in OpenWrt, there's nothing hard about it. Like I said, OpenWrt ignores any configuration that TP-Link puts on these devices.

20

Ohh my bad, you are certainly right! I was looking the channel list in an old site which showed me more channels than the current updated Linux kernel list shows.

I can confirm that changing the country to my current one which is AR, shows me the channels that are equal to what is in the kernel regulatory domain list:

Openwrt without setting "default driver":

root@openwrt_eap245v3_gth:~# iw reg get
global
country 00: DFS-UNSET
        (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
        (2457 - 2482 @ 20), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN
        (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN
        (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW
        (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN
        (5490 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, PASSIVE-SCAN
        (5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), PASSIVE-SCAN
        (57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0), (N/A)

Openwrt after setting from "default driver" to "AR":

root@openwrt_eap245v3_gth:~# iw reg get
global
country AR: DFS-FCC
        (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
        (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 17), (N/A), AUTO-BW
        (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 24), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
        (5490 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 24), (0 ms), DFS
        (5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A)

And this is what is shown in the Linux kernel regulatory list [be ware the site takes a bit to load..] which is the same Openwrt shows me for argentina AR:

country AR: DFS-FCC
	(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (20)
	(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (17), AUTO-BW
	(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (24), DFS, AUTO-BW
	(5490 - 5730 @ 160), (24), DFS
	(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (30)

So for me AR seems to be OK.

Thanks @svanheule! Sorry for the confusion!
