Openwrt не подключается wifi

Connect to client Wi-Fi network

This page will explain how to connect your OpenWrt device to another Wi-Fi network by using its own radio. Due to technical limitations, your OpenWrt device will create its own subnet (in the example below it’s 192.168.2.x while the Wi-Fi router’s subnet is 192.168.1.x ) just as it would when connected to a modem, your OpenWrt device and devices connected to it will be able to reach the Internet, but won’t see devices connected to the other Wi-Fi/router).

If you want to actually set up a Wi-Fi repeater or keep devices connected to this device in the same subnet as the devices connected to the other router, you will need to follow this tutorial instead.

Web interface instructions

Refreshed with 21.02 LuCI images.

As said above, the LAN interface must be set in a different subnet than the Wi-Fi network you are connecting to. In our example the Wi-Fi network we are connecting to is using 192.168.1.x addresses, so we will need to change the IP address of the LAN interface first to 192.168.2.1

The LAN interface must be set in a different subnet than the Wi-Fi network you are connecting to.

We will now set up the client Wi-Fi network, the configuration needed to connect to another Wi-Fi network.

Once you are logged into the router,

Recommend to tick the ‘Replace wireless configuration’ to delete the wireless access point (Master) for the chosen radio.

If there is no *wan* firewall zone you need to create it, don’t save the Wi-Fi configuration. Go to bottom of this section describing how to create *wan* firewall zone.

Enter the Wi-Fi password, leave the “name of new network” as “wwan” and select wan firewall zone.

You will land in the client Wi-Fi settings page. Edit as required.
The most important settings are on the Operating Frequency line.

Set the Mode to Legacy if you are connecting to a Wi-Fi g network, or N if you are connecting to a Wi-Fi n (and so on).

Set the Width to the same value that you set on the Wi-Fi you are connecting to (to avoid bottlenecking the connection for no reason).

Press Save
Press Save & Apply.
Configuration is now complete.

This is the final result. Note how the client network has a ? instead of a IP address.
The wwan IP address is only visible in the Network Interfaces page.

This step should not be necessary if you had reset the router to OpenWrt defaults. If you have no “wan” firewall zone you must create it.

Click on Network and then on Firewall, then click on the Add button, and set up the new zone as you see in the following screenshot (which is a default wan firewall interface),

After you have done this, go back and repeat the other steps to add and save the Wi-Fi connection.

Command-line instructions

Before doing any actual configuration, the Wi-Fi interface must be enabled in order to be able to scan for networks in the vicinity:

uci set wireless.@wifi-device[0].disabled="0" uci commit wireless wifi

if you have more than one Wi-Fi radio in your device, then you can use the others in this tutorial instead by substituting their number. For example to enable the second Wi-Fi radio (usually a 5Ghz radio) you would need to uci set wireless.@wifi-device[1].disabled=0 and then use wlan1 instead of wlan0 in the command below.

Now we can list networks in range substituting your actual wireless interface for wlan0 :

# iw dev wlan0 scan BSS c8:d5:fe:c8:61:b0(on wlan0) -- associated TSF: 24324848870 usec (0d, 06:45:24) freq: 2412 beacon interval: 100 TUs capability: ESS (0x0411) signal: -72.00 dBm last seen: 140 ms ago Information elements from Probe Response frame: SSID: Violetta RSN: * Version: 1 * Group cipher: CCMP * Pairwise ciphers: CCMP * Authentication suites: PSK * Capabilities: 1-PTKSA-RC 1-GTKSA-RC (0x0000) BSS f8:35:dd:eb:20:f8(on wlan0) TSF: 24225790925 usec (0d, 06:43:45) freq: 2457 beacon interval: 100 TUs capability: ESS (0x0431) signal: -90.00 dBm last seen: 1450 ms ago Information elements from Probe Response frame: SSID: GOinternet_EB20FB HT capabilities: Capabilities: 0x11ee HT20/HT40 SM Power Save disabled RX HT20 SGI RX HT40 SGI TX STBC RX STBC 1-stream Max AMSDU length: 3839 bytes DSSS/CCK HT40 Maximum RX AMPDU length 65535 bytes (exponent: 0x003) Minimum RX AMPDU time spacing: 4 usec (0x05) HT RX MCS rate indexes supported: 0-15, 32 HT TX MCS rate indexes are undefined HT operation: * primary channel: 10 * secondary channel offset: below * STA channel width: any RSN: * Version: 1 * Group cipher: TKIP * Pairwise ciphers: TKIP CCMP * Authentication suites: PSK * Capabilities: 1-PTKSA-RC 1-GTKSA-RC (0x0000)

In the example, there are two networks, a Wi-Fi g one called Violetta and a Wi-Fi n one called GOinternet_EB20FB. The device was configured to connect to the one called Violetta.

For SSID, BSSID, and encryption you must use the info you got from the Wi-Fi scan above.

Workaround to Wi-Fi issues on OpenWRT LEDE

Automatically restart Wi-Fi when there are no clients connected.

Motivation

Ever since I upgraded my router’s (TP-Link Archer C7 v2) firmware from OpenWRT Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 to LEDE 17.04.1, the 2.4G Wi-Fi access point has been dropping off every few days. The 5G however has been fine. With the older firmware however, the router could sustain for months without issues on 2.4G but 5G would need to be restarted every few weeks.

I needed a workaround that will restart the wireless adapter when there are no clients connected to it. This works for me because there are at least a few devices that are always connected 24/7.

Solution

Listing Wi-Fi devices

Firstly, identify a list of Wi-Fi devices via command line:

A list of Wi-Fi devices will appear, along with its details such as ESSID, Access Point, Tx-Power, Signal, Bit Rate, Enryption, etc.

In my case, there are wlan0 (5G), wlan1 (2.4G) and wlan1-1 (2.4G Guest).

Listing clients connected to a device

To list clients that are connected to a device, the syntax is:

In my case, the 2.4G non-guest is the one that I would like to monitor:

If there are clients that are connected, they will appear along with MAC address, RX and TX rates, etc.

However, if there are no clients connected, the following message will appear:

With this information, what I now need is a script that looks for this output and if found, it restarts the Wi-Fi.

The script

I wrote a script that will restart Wi-Fi if there are no clients connected to a specific device, my 2.4G non-guest.

#!/bin/sh wlan1_assoclist="$(iwinfo wlan1 assoclist)" if [ "$wlan1_assoclist" == "No station connected" ] then logger Restarting Wi-Fi /sbin/wifi fi 

Be sure to substitute wlan1 with the adapter that you intend to monitor.

I placed the script into /opt/restart-wifi.sh .

Scheduling script runs

Via LuCI, navigate to System > Scheduled Tasks .

Add the following line into it crontab:

This causes the script to be executed every 2 minutes. More information on Cron syntax.

For each run of the script, a line will appear in syslog. If restart is required, the message “Restarting Wi-Fi” will appear in syslog.
