its working like I said
just need more details on the setup of 802.11r
This entire thread is for that purpose, what step are you having an issue with now?
I only have the RE305 setup do I need to copy the config to the RE200 before enabling FT
I changed the SSID on the RE305 to the SSID I want to use and now I can't access LuCi or ssh
I am sorry, that you seem to think I am ignoring everything your are posting but I do not understand how to connect a factory openwrt RE200 to the RE305 without setting up a STA first
Factory firmware probably does not support WDS or mesh modes. (If it does say "mesh" it is usually something proprietary that cannot inter-operate with official OpenWrt discussed here).
I have options for WDS and 802.11s
Also this is not being setup as mesh
NOBODY READS ANYTHING
End of thread, I am going back to stock forever
Forget the Multy M1
I had another issue with LuCi not being accessible yesterday, when changing WiFi settings, not lan settings
Nobody ever gives you any detailed information on how to setup anything
I am an advanced user but this is something I have never done before
Solution to all my problems, don’t use openwrt because it’s not stable enough even on a stable release

D'oh, and I just got some more popcorn....

so its just being marked as a solution, when the real solution is to actually assist me in what I need
multiple times I have lost access to LuCi and ssh
multiple times I haves asked for in detail explanations and not got them
Stock is causing more problems then its solving, so I need an alternative, openwrt is basically my only option

what is there to like about this
I still need a solution
A solution that is going to work for my whole house and family, I have had complaints from my family saying its slow, they have got no Wi-Fi connection and had to switch to mobile data
with stock as repeater you only get half speed, but that's still 100Mbps
but it actual use you get about 20Mbps
20Mbps with about 15 devices, causes issues
so I think my real solution is either to buy about 3 Multy M1's or buy another RE450 stick with stock and run an ethernet cable in the loft/attic or use a good powerline adapter
could probably run a flat cable under the carpet
something else I have forgot to mention the diagram for yesterday, the ISP router is downstairs and the Raspberry pi 4 is upstairs, all Wi-Fi access point and repeaters are upstairs as well
or get tp-link to allow onemesh on range extender in AP mode
or buy a tp-link router
My advice would be to start hard-wiring as much as possible - doing so simplifies configuration and improves reliability.
- hard-wire the ISP router to the RPi4 router
- hard-wire all Access Points to the switch
Since I returned from time with family, I've updated myself on the thread. In that short time, I've seen the OP insult another user. Wow. TBH, it discouraged me from responding anymore.
The specific reason I haven't yet replied was because of this:
In a previous thread, I suggested the user configure each device individually and locally, using an Ethernet cable.
Why?
Because before the OP noted an 802.11r setup requirement, they were working on a WWAN setup - but somehow had access to LuCI and SSH thru an Upstream connection.
So somehow, it seems the OP may be using some other "over the network" procedure to configure the device again.
This brings me to the last related point. I was waiting for the OP to actually post the config (as asked numerous times after a change).
Nonetheless, if the OP is struggling with something as simple as configuring the device before plugging it into another network (which they struggled with before), I figured that perhaps the OP needed time to review the threads they already made, ask those users that already provided information, etc. It seems the OP didn't value the information, yet that's how I knew the OP wanted something else after insisting to get a working WWAN (albeit without 802.11r to begin).
It seems the OP has made another choice and failed to share again.
Regarding the SSID:
You shouldn't have lost connection with WiFi, because you shouldn't have been connected to it, you need to explain to us how you were connected to the equipment when this occurred. As I've noted before - we can't guess.
its easier said that done, it would have to all be wallpapered again, it would be crossing central heating pipes and gas pipes as well
now no need for that, the fact you returned from time with family is irrelevant, somebody else could have helped me
I was not insulting anyone, well at least it was not my intention
that was locally, I did that all the time after you said that
thats how a network switch works, eth0 is connected to br-lan which is connected to lan
there is no config now, because I am not getting anywhere
you know nothing about me, I have advanced knowledge it a lot of this with network and computer science, the problems I was facing were issues with openwrt not doing what I expected, configuring NetworkManager on Raspberry Pi was some hard work to enable everything needed like TFTP for UEFI
I did not know WWAN was not what I needed, nobody ever explained it to me
There was no useful information anywhere in my other posts
I lost connection over the ethernet cable, when I changed the SSID
I though that would have been clear, I did everything you said
you never explained WWAN to me, I know I never really explained what I need, but still your going mad at me when its not me that the problem is, openwrt is not stable enough for me, the reason I was struggling with the setup of the device was before it was not doing what I expected, before I even mad this post I had got a working WWAN setup but had to factory reset before I lost access to it, the same thing happened again
you just always seem mad at me now, since we spent time setting up that WWAN
so if you can give me the setup I need, make me a config I can copy, you know radio0 is 2.4GHz and radio1 is 5GHz
I have had to go back to stock again x4
I might just be better getting stock to remount as read,write and add 802.11r support like that, I did try to get someone to assist me with it but I failed to remount the filesystem
stock is based on openwrt, so if openwrt can do it stock should be able to do it
its because of openwrt, I had to but a serial adapter to unbrick my RE200
Sorry, but I'm not aware of what you think I am. I understand you may be frustrated, but likewise we can't guess and assume things you haven't told us.
Simply:
We were discussing an unsupported 450 (no clue why, as you already knew from a pervious thread that you couldn't setup 802.11r on its OEM firmware - time wasted again). I assume you proceeded to use the 305.
This is where this thread ends with details:
- I told you details on setting up 802.11r
- You then ignored me and asked instead about copying a config I've never seen
You subsequently noted you somehow lost Ethernet connection adjusting WiFI?
- We need to see that config
- And again, we cannot guess why
Lastly, you say you're on stock firmware. Please clarify.
the RE450 is irrelevant like I said I am only going to use the RE305 and RE200
I do not like this attitude at all
what is the point of this forum if you can not rewrite me config or at least guide me though it
the state this topic is getting I will need a new one again
I am sorry about everything, I will follow everything you say and not ignore anything
I just need the RE305 using the Ethernet cable and the RE200 connected to the RE305 with both using 802.11r
the screenshot was it, no configuration as far as I remember
I did send my last config file before I lost access to it
I have factory reset again now and gone back to stock
but all I changed was the SSID from Openwrt to COX-NETWORK and it went for the 90 seconds and timed out and went to roll back and failed
I am back on stock because I was going to give up, but again I have had a complaint from my family that the Wi-Fi is not working
I'm really starting to think you're purposely ignoring posts.
That's all you need.
Please review the tread. I couldn't guess why you wanted to copy your "working now" config over to the 205. Maybe this was some random statement?
I assumed this meant 802.11r was working.
I thought you should make a new post after you placed the irrelevant 450 in Post No. 1.
This time, omit anything irrelevant.
the RE200 would need so config to be able to discover the RE305 wouldn't it
how does it know there the same mobility domain with no communication to it
This is all I found about 802.11r
what I needed to know was if I needed to connect to the RE305 with client mode
new post then, and I will make sure 100% of what have been mentioned is in the first post
OK. Now we're clearer.
I think @bluewavenet or someone on that post should tell you.
If you review the thread, I noted to inquire with them (they helped you extensively, but you seemed to rant here instead of tagging or asking them).
I see he's responding, so this time be patient and don't insult a user in the interim about their inability to read.
Yes, but recall - this is when you then said you had an SSID issue. I couldn't guess the problem.
So if you want more than a screenshot, be patient on the response about 802.11r configs from another user.
