OpenWRT : How To Link Access Points

[@kyno5370]

Really love your OpenWRT videos. That OS is awesome to bring new life to old routers

[@NETVN82]

Glad you like them!

[@arunkhan4951]

Very nicely explained , the narration is succint and nicely complemented with network diagrams ❤👌🙌

[@khaledgamal9575]

Keep going I loved openwrt Series

[@karlitobanks]

I just saw your tutorial and I want to know if we can use the wpad-open-ssl package like for mesh wifi to have wifi roaming? THANKS

[@Muriz26]

yes,

[@thanksit]

What about wifi channels? Should the ap1 & ap2 have same channel or different?

[@Muriz26]

Yes they do

[@francocastilloAR]

2:52 Fake. The wpad-basic-wolfssl package provides 802.11r fast roaming capability. No need to install wpad.

[@bkaczy]

are you sure, earlier basic versions have these options limited? when was this changed?

[@Muriz26]

I dont know why he is doing this method. I believe if you connect openwrt with a cable, you can do fast roaming correct me if I am wrong...

[@francocastilloAR]

@@Muriz26 Fast Roaming is something else, regardless of the connection between nodes.

[@Muriz26]

@@francocastilloAR Sir. I am aware of fast roaming. Fast Roaming is not available for wireless access points. I was indicating that this method is not necessary if you going to do cable connection with wifi. You could do it with or without Fast Roaming and you dont need the package for this type of setup.

[@francocastilloAR]

@@Muriz26 I didn't understand " Fast Roaming is not available for wireless access points". Google Translate is not good for these things if you don't specify things.

[@Villu666]

Is switch really needed between main router and APs? Can't I just simply connect 3 or 4 APs directly to LAN ports on Main router? And one more - connecting wired device to any of the APs will still work right? In that case the Main router which has DHCP enabled will provide ip for the wired cilent connected to the AP?

[@pdakos]

I have the exact same questions. Can anyone please answer?

[@phungphuong9176]

Switch in this model is just for extend physical connection from AP to main router. You can directly connect from main router to your Access Point.

[@Villu666]

@@pdakos Already did my installation: APs connected directly to the main router and some wired devices connected to APs. All works fine.

[@Muriz26]

This is fast roaming. If you just do 192.168.0.240 and 192.168.0.241... and so on same subnet as your main ISP router it will connect on cables. You could setup different SSIDS. This is only if you have a big house and you move place to place it will just cut that signal and just connect to the near by router. If you do the same setting without fast roaming it will still work. Try simply disable the dhcp and change the LAN ip to your ISP routers subnet, change the ssid and password, remove the wan interface from OPENWRT network tab and you will served from that routers ssid. It is always better to connect cables and enable wifi then wireless access point.

[@Muriz26]

@Villu OpenWRT router can act as a switch. A Router like the one he is showing has vlan capabilities. At default vlan 1 is untagged and vlan 2 is untagged on wan port. This is an access point "wired" I believe he is doing extra things that are not really necessary for this type of setup. If you just connect your ISP router to an OpenWRT router and have the same subnet and DNS plus gateway has to equal the same subnet as your ISP router on LAN you will be online. Wired connection transmits data directly without losing anything. Just enable WiFi and setup ssid and password. You could even disable dhcp on ISP router and wifi it will act as a modem and OpenWRT will act as a router.

Great Explaination 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep going up and don't stop successful, God bless you brother 🤍

Thanks a ton

Excellent info!

[@dhirajshastri5060]

Sir can you make a video on glpi configuration on xamp & Configuration xampp over internet

[@francocastilloAR]

You should have switched to different channels on both routers.

[@theetonn7751]

Good video how to bypass deep packet inspection (DPI)?Please help me!!!!

[@kent_calvin]

I don't understand the network diagram I thought the router is supposed to be next to internet instead of the switch

[@francocastilloAR]

What are you talking about?

[@prakashm6040]

what to i have only 2 routers and no switch? i'm planning to have these router in each floor@@francocastilloAR

[@Muriz26]

Openwrt could serve as a switch as well. He is just separating connections. With this setup you dont have to have a switch. But a switch is always a good idea since it separates connections and creates vlans.

[@vanchi9044]

Sao hong lấy cái 2 router cắm cổng LAN lại rồi tắt cấp phát IP động trên cái phụ sau đó set cấu hình wifi y nhau cho lẹ? Tại sao lại phải cần đến 3 router mà 1 cái chỉ dùng dây không cho nó bật wifi? Rồi còn tốn thêm cái sw nữa!

[@NETVN82]

Cảm ơn bạn đã xem, khi bạn di chuyển từ con 1 sang con 2, nhưng điện thoại của bạn vẫn kết nối với con 1. Do vậy mạng wifi sẽ yếu ( nó không tự chuyển sang con 2 nếu không cấu hình chuyển vùng nhanh) Chính vì thế cần làm cách này để nó nhận biết con 2 để kết nối đến nó

[@phungphuong9176]

@@NETVN82Theo mô hình này thì cần tắt sóng wifi trên con modem nhà mạng luôn, vì bản thân nó không roaming được với 2 con AP kia

[@yuan.pingchen3056]

we don't need 3 router, we just need 1 router, if we have many router, we can choose the most powerful router as main router, and turn on QoS on this router, and use weak CPU router as pure access point/AP

[@ducle5640]

Ông này chả hiểu gì về wifi. Để cùng tên và mật khẩu nó không tự chuyển đâu. Sóng nó yếu tới mức không bắt được ap 1 rồi mất kết nối xong ông phải đợi điện thoại bắt sóng ap2 hoặc ông tự vào mà kết nối vs ap2. Và quá trình này rất lâu nếu không dùng Fast roaming.

[@Diaz_Savero]

is that run on wifi Mesh mode or ap regular roaming?

[@arunkhan4951]

This topology is not mesh. Both APs are on the wired Ethernet lan. The diagram and the voice narrative state it very clearly. You can do it with wifi mesh, but it requires additional setup on both APs and you would have to dedicate one of the radios (typically the 2.4 Ghz) for the wifi mesh.

[@zeroturn7091]

Well that’s certainly an advantage over wireless repeaters.
