Hello guys,
I have problem implementing wisp mode in OpenWrt, it works fine in all router model that I have tested so far but, the problem is that the AP ssid won't appear if the wwan ssid is not present.
I don't know how to setup the router to keep the AP ssid (lan) side active even the wwan ssid is not in range.
I am sharing the WiFi config and network config files that I am using so maybe one of you can point me to the right way to do wisp mode without losing the AP SSID .
thanks you.

WISPMODE:
WISP mode is simply a wireless WAN mode where your wireless access point device acts like a router internally but uses the wireless signal from another router as it's WAN interface. Since it is using the wireless interface for both WAN interface to the Internet and WLAN interface internally, it cuts the wireless bandwidth in half. So if the originating router has 30Mbps bandwidth then you can get only maximum of 15Mbps of bandwidth out of it.
