hi does anyone know what are the wifi types. i see wpa2 but can it do just plain wpa, and can it do wep. thanks very much
Which user interface are you about: (a) GL.iNet Web (b) GL.iNet App (c) LuCI (d) UCI via SSH?
For example, for UCI to set just WPA (TKIP) without WPA2 (CCMP):
uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption='psk+tkip'
uci wireless commit
wifi
For WEP, you go for
uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption='wep+open'
uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key='1'
uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key1="786468646b6b6577696f646464"
uci wireless commit
wifi
That WEP key is just the example taken from the OpenWrt Wiki …
Those settings are still available via LuCI. However, nowadays, you should aim for WPA2-only actually. Furthermore, that is a bit unnormal because even a WPA-only client should be able to connect to a mixed-mode Wi-Fi access point. The latter is offered via the GL.iNet Web interface.
Which Wi-Fi clients (product, model, revision/firmware) are that exactly?
