Hello Guys,

I use my Repeater to connect and fly my Parrot Bebop, so i can fly long range. After I saw this https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/led.wifi.meter I decided to do this to my Repeater. I created the script "ledwsignal.sh" in /etc/config and made it exectuable by running this command: chmod +x wlan-monitor-sh. Then after I wrote /ect/config/ledwsignal.sh

This pop ups: /etc/config/ledwsignal.sh

USAGE:
    ledwsignal.sh <led name>

available leds:
ath9k-phy0
tp-link:green:lan
tp-link:green:qss
tp-link:green:system

ERROR

/etc/config/ledwsignal.sh tp-link:green:qss

or use any other LED name listed.

Will it get permantly after this or need I run this shell at every start of the repeater

This will not be started automatically. One way to achieve this is to add that line to /etc/rc.local. Maybe need to demonize by appending & (haven't checked if the script does).

Thank you, this worked but the script always stuck at strength 4. I tested it. I repeated my smartphones wifi hotspot. First its shows strength 4. This is right. Then I move my phone to another room. There are now 2 walls between hotspot and repeater. Signal is now about -92dbm but the script says strength 4 and stays there.

P.S I found that /proc/net/wireless does not update. I ran this command watch -n 1 "awk 'NR==3 {print \"WiFi Signal Strength = \" \$3 \"00 %\"}''' /proc/net/wireless" and it stuck at 70 Wlan strength
