Hi All,
I've been using a Flint as an AP for months now, simply by setting it up in Access Point Mode, nothing fancy. My main router is a Brume2 and the Flint connects to this via an ethernet connection to a Cisco switch.
I've been snooping around Luci and noticed that the Interface Configuration for wlan1 is set to "Access Point (WDS) ". Is that correct? "Access Point" is available on the drop-down list and I don't know why this isn't what it's been set to. Firmware v4.6.8. It's no biggie but I'm curious.
As an aside, I had upgraded to v4.7.0 but started getting errors from devices stating they couldn't get an IP address, so I reverted to the last stable version and it's been fine.
If it works on AP mode, the wireless interface radio0 / 1 will be set to the access point (WDS).
This is a normal behavior.
After upgrading to 4.7.0, clients cannot get IP, if you manually set up a static IP (within main router subnet), is the Internet access normal? Can it access SSH? I did not reproduce.
I did try putting a static on after I did a hardware reset and it was still in Router mode. This got overwritten when AP was switched on, as I would expect. I have reserved the DHCP address on the Brume2. Its working fine under the last stable firmware and I won't be upgrading until v4.7 is finally released
