how to: become an ap if no ap can be connected?

[lolle]

Hello

I recently did the firmware upgrade to olegs custom firmware WLHDD-1.9.2.7-7c (Very nice features btw.). In the latest asus firmware 1.2.3.9 there is an option "become an ap if no ap can be connected". But I couldn't figure out how to do that in oleg's custom firmware.

To explain my settings and what I'd like to do:
Normally I want to have the wl-hdd in my home netword as wireless client (that works fine with oleg's, configured as station). But if I take the wl-hdd out of the range of my wireless router, I want the wl-hdd to become the ap automaticaly (and it would be very nice if the wl-hdd would start the dhcp server automatically).

Now I don't know if it is possible with oleg's and if, what settings I have to use to. So has anyone of you an advice?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi lolle, Did you find how to do this with Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-7c. If so could you please share the information on how you did this.

I was able to do this with Asus stock firmware 1.2.3.9 with the option "become an ap if no ap can be connected"

I was able to connect wireless, as a client while at home and when I am out of range/home, the wl-hdd became an AP automatically and could connect to it using my wifi enabled PDA.
After flashing Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-7c I am not able to do this.

Would appreciate if anyone can let me know the setup to do this. Please help

No, I'm sorry, I couldn't figure out a solution yet. At the moment I just change the setting in advanced -> extended mode to "AP or WDS" when I'm out of range of my home router. Sure this is a work-around, but it is not too much work because your interface settings (ssid etc) for both, station and ap.

greats.

Are there any news on this ?

I'd be interested in having this feature with Oleg's great firmware, too!
