Hi all, after I've come to like FreeWRT much more than OpenWRT by now, I've been working on migrating my home network to FreeWRT and I was almost successful. Everything worked perfectly until I migrated the access point, but since then the wireless is behaving erratic, unreliable and I cannot figure out why. That's why I need your help.
Here is the setup:
[internet] --- [ AP: Linksys WRT54GL ] ...(wlan)... [ SL: Linksys WRT54GL ]
.
.
.
(wlan)
.
.
[ ON: ASUS WL 500g ]
AP = Access point, connected by cable to cable modem (internet via DHCP).
SL = Server Location, working as bridge
ON = Office Network, working as bridge
To keep things simple, I have three networks:
192.168.1.1 is the subnet of the access point
192.168.2.1 is the subnet of the servers
192.168.3.1 is the subnet of the office
Here is the network setup file (/etc/network/interfaces) of the AP:
# basic network configuration file # for more information, see the FreeWRT handbook # http://www.freewrt.org/trac/wiki/Documentation/Handbook auto lo iface lo inet loopback # LAN ports auto eth0.0 iface eth0.0 inet manual switch-ports 0 1 2 3 5* # Local network is bridged between WLAN & LAN auto br0 iface br0 inet static bridge-ifaces eth0.0 eth1 address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.2 dev $IFACE up route add -net 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.3 dev $IFACE # WAN port gets its IP via DHCP auto eth0.1 iface eth0.1 inet dhcp switch-ports 4 5 # WLAN with WPA2 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual wireless-type broadcom wireless-country CH wireless-mode ap wireless-ssid <essid> wireless-channel 4 wireless-security wpa-psk wireless-authorization psk2 wireless-encryption aes+tkip wireless-wpa-key <wpa2 key>
of the Server Location bridge:

and of the Office Network:

All of these nodes eventually connect to each other. As soon as a second or third connects, the whole thing seems to breaks down, however. When the AP was running OpenWRT Whiterussian RC5 and the other two boxes were running FreeWRT 1.0 revision 1827, all worked fine. The problems started after I migrated the access point. So my guess is that I am missing something about the access point. But what? Help appreciated, Georg -- Georg C. F.
