Private WLANΒΆ
It is possible to set up a private WLAN that bridges the WAN port and is separated from the mesh network.
Please note that you should not enable mesh_on_wan
simultaneously.
The private WLAN can be enabled through the config mode if the package gluon-web-private-wifi
is installed.
You may also enable a private WLAN using the command line:
RID=0
SSID="privateWLANname"
KEY="yoursecret1337password"
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID=wifi-iface
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.device=radio$RID
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.network=wan
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.mode=ap
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.encryption=psk2
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.ssid="$SSID"
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.key="$KEY"
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.disabled=0
uci set wireless.wan_radio$RID.macaddr=$(lua -e "print(require('gluon.util').generate_mac(3+4*$RID))")
uci commit

Please replace $SSID
by the name of the WLAN and $KEY
by your passphrase (8-63 characters).
If you have two radios (e.g. 2.4 and 5 GHz) you need to do this for radio0 and radio1.
It may also be disabled by running:
uci set wireless.wan_radio0.disabled=1
