Topic: Help! Where is WET mode?

The content of this topic has been archived on 21 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,

Today I wanted to upgrade my WLAN from WhiteRussion to Kamikaze.

I have an WRT54GL as accesspoint and a few WRT54GLs configured as wireless clients, biridged (WET).

Now I'm searching the WET mode for Kamikaze...but in the docs I can only find ap, sta, adhoc and wds :-(

Is wet not supported any more? This would be a small disaster for me sad

Thank you,

it seems that wet is automatically enabled if you create ap+sta and add them both to the lan bridge. if you do wlc wet you'll see 1 as the result.

Oh, thank you, this would be great.

But I'm sitting now the whole day solving this really simple problem: 2 WRT54GL, one as AP, one as client.

I configured the AP with 192.168.1.10 (everything else default settings) and the client with 192.168.0.12 (eveything else defaultsettings).

The only things I changed are /etc/config/wireless.

The AP:
config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     broadcom
        option channel  5

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  lan
        option mode     ap
        option ssid     test
        option encryption psk
        option key      123456789

And the client:
config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     broadcom
        option channel  5

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  lan
        option mode     sta
        option ssid     test
        option encryption psk
        option key      123456789

The AP works - I can connect with my laptop successfully.

But the clients does not seem to work! I can't ping each other :-(

Do you have any ideas what would be the problem?

I really don't know why. And I don't understand it!

But it seems that you have to connect to the AP manually THE FIRST TIME!

On the Client, I did:

# iwlist scan
# iwconfig wl0 ssid test
# iwconfig wl0 ap <MAC of the AP>

Suddenly it worked! And it also worked after rebooting and plugging the power cord.

Very strange...

The discussion might have continued from here.
