I am using GL.iNET X3000 and I have flashed a custom openwrt image in that. There already exists a bridge with the name "br-lan", which has the wireless AP interfaces phy0-ap0, and phy1-ap0 from both the radios, I have created a new bridge and two new wireless AP interfaces, first I created an interface in radio0 and assigned this AP to the new bridge, then the LED of radio1 went down and I can't see the SSID of the AP created on the radio1. Then I thought if I create an AP on radio1 and assign it to the new bridge this will work. So I did this but now the interface I created for the new bridge called "psk" says Unknown error (DEVICE_CLAIM_FAILED). I want these two bridges to work parallely and independent from each other.
which custom openwrt image ?
I made an custom image by git cloning the openwrt.
was there something wrong with the default images ?
I wanted the netem and kmod-gre packages, for that I created a new image.
does the same happen without those two packages ?
Without kmod-gre it was happening. I don't know about netem package I needed this package two weeks back when I was trying to simulate delay on an interface.
Those are packages to install via opkg to start with. Just add gre and gre luci via firmware-selector?
I tried with opkg to install the packages but there were issues with the kernel version and package version.
if you used a/your custom image, or an older snapshot, yes, there will be.
You can use standard image and install standard packages
If you use your own build it is up to you to provide kmods to it.
Do not put any wifi device names into /etc/config/network. Create a bridge and an interface with that bridge as its device. The bridge definition in /etc/config/wireless should have no ports listed if all the bridge will have is wifi. Then in the wireless config, specify the interface name as the network. The scripts will assign a name to the interface and find the bridge to include it into.
Yes, I did created an interface for the bridge and in the /etc/config/wireless I specified the interface for the bridge as the network.
Probably easiest if we just look at the config...
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
Hi, I was using my hardware as a station too, in the 5 GHz radio. For that a virtual device was created and I assigned that device to an interface, and this interface was up and had an IP assigned by the AP (another router for which the hardware was in station mode). And as soon I created another bridge for wireless AP's, and created a wireless AP in the 2.4 GHz band and assigned it to the interface of the new bridge, the 5G band goes down. But yesterday I removed the station from the hardware and now it is wokring fine. But I want the station to work alongside with this configuration.
Show config files, your posts are confusing without.
