I have upgraded my OpenWRT device to TP-Link Archer C7. It has 2.4 and 5 MHz radios. First time for me using dual radios with OpenWRT. I was able (via Luci) to bridge my lan with the 5 MHz radio. Under Interfaces >> Physical Settings looks like this:
Interface [ eth1.1 | wlan0 ]
Now, I'd like to bridge my glan (guest lan) with the 2.4 Mhz radio. The UI lets me do it, or at least it seems so:
Interface [ eth1.3 | wlan1 ]
But after I hit , no change is detected, and going back to the page, the interface has reverted back to being bridged over both wifi-s:
Interface [ eth1.3 | wlan0 | wlan1 ]
I can't shake wlan0 off.
Is it possible at all to have the two wifi-s on separate vlan-s?
Is Luci currently unable to handle it? Should I go change config files directly?
Change it on the wireless page not the network page.
It works the same way when editing config files directly. Do not put wireless network names in /etc/config/network, because the names are generated at runtime. If you add an interface the names of the existing interfaces may change. Instead use the option network setting in /etc/config/wireless to attach each radio interface to a network.
Thank you for the quick reply. I tried to set via wireless page, but the outcome was the same. I did not troubleshoot completely to find the root of the problem, but I think it was in the switch setup. I deleted and re-added the guest VLAN, and then things worked as expected. Now my setup is as I intended.
