Client mode with WPA enterprise

Technical Support for Routers
1

I’m trying to connect a GL-AR150 with firmware 2.20 to a WPA Enterprise network. To join the SSID, I just need to put in a username and password, but I do not see WPA Enterprise encryption listed as an option.

I have tried the instructions here, Client Mode Wireless [Old OpenWrt Wiki] but I get 255 errors when installing the wpa-supplicant packages and the network never connects.

Please assist.

OK, I removed hostapd and wpa-supplicant and installed wpad instead. Now I see the options I need to connect, but I am still unable to connect in client mode with all of the fields configured. Any help is appreciated.

the 255 error may not really matter.

Can you post your config? /etc/config/network and /etc/config/wireless

Additionally, the WiFi scan function eventually dies and will not scan for networks unless I factory reset the router.

I got the client mode to work and then realized what I need is an ethernet bridge. so I’ve posted over on the OpenWRT forum here: OpenWrt Forum Archive

I don’t think you need to build a relay on top of EAP wireless network. The enterprise network will automatically deal with this.
