Okay, i've been trying to set up a repeater in the typical scenario, this is what i have so far
Router with internet wrt54gl 1.1:
cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device wl0
option type broadcom
option channel 11
option disabled 0
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network lan
option mode ap
option ssid downstairs
option encryption psk+psk2
option key <wlanpass>
option hidden 0
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network lan
option mode ap
option wds 1
option ssid wds
option bssid 00:14:bf:41:d1:c1
option encryption psk
option key <wdspass>
option hidden 1Router in the 2nd floor, wrt54gs 2.1:
cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device wl0
option type broadcom
option channel 11
option disabled 0
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network lan
option mode sta
option wds 1
option ssid wds
option bssid 02:25:69:2a:e4:d1
option encryption psk
option key <wdspass>
option hidden 1
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network lan
option mode ap
option wds 1
option ssid upstairs
option encryption psk+psk2
option key <wlanpass>
option hidden 0the whole things works okay, now the problem...
it seems like the wrt54gs doesn't support multiple ssid so, only the first config is the one that works. The wireless link between the two routers works perfectly, but the router upstairs can't act as an access point at the same time. so it is either an AP or a client but not both :@... the wrt54gl in the other hand, can do it without any problem.
This is what wifi shows:
wifi
Command 'set mssid' failed: -1
can't add wl0.1 to bridge br-lan: Cannot assign requested address
i haven't found any information about how to fix this, can you throw me some light? this is the only thing that keeps my setup from working as i want...
thanks in advance
PD: This config absolutely WORKS for any of you who is looking forward to. BUT you need to have capable routers (2x wrt54gl v1.1 will do)
