Wifi in client (mode sta) don't work

[hub.martin]

Hi everyone and MightyOhm especially I've been watching this site and project for year and finally now I have functional flashed router .. but..

Everything works fine but I cannot connect to my home AP. I tripple checked everything, spent hours by googling and browsing forums. Maybe someone here can help me. My home Wifi have not any encryption, is open. Here's are all my configs. I hope theyre are all

The first line shows my home AP

Code: Select all

        option ifname   "eth0.0"
        option  proto   dhcp

#### WAN configuration

        option ifname   "eth0.1"
        option proto    dhcp
        option macaddr  00:03:0D:3D:D9:E5

One small progress I've made was that the AIR LED is turned on also in Managed mode. I've tried "iwconfig wl0 essid..channel.. ". I've also tried to restart network like someone here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=50 but with no luck.

Can someone please help. Thanks!

Please post the contents of your /etc/config/wireless and /etc/config/network files here.

It's already in the CODE section in my first post. You have to scroll more

Sorry about that.

Have you checked that channel 1 is indeed the channel your home wireless (802.11g) network is using?

Doublechecked your SSID?

Perhaps setting the macaddr in the WAN config is breaking something. I have never tried it.

Are you sure the router is not actually connecting to your network? If you ping the AP's IP address, what happens?

[hub.martin]

It's working now!
Thanks for assuring me that the settings was more or less right. I found that there's a MAC filter of Wifi devices on my router... That's everytime I have new device on network.. it takes me a day to figure out why it doesn't work

Thank you, and of course thank you for the whole Asus wl-520 router hack! What a great idea.
