Multiple SSID?

[Tamadite]

Any chance of having multiple SSID with oleg firmware as DD-WRT has?

A good start point could be just having the possibility of creating virtual wi-fi interfaces from the console.

A good start point could be just having the possibility of creating virtual wi-fi interfaces from the console.

creating a vlan:

vconfig add vlan1 3
ifconfig vlan3 enable
ifconfig vlan3
what this code does is create vlan3 (the number at the end) from vlan1

so if you do

vconfig add eth1 10
you'll create a vlan10 from eth1;)

haven't looked at the rest yet, but I guess it's something similar as this one:

on the other hand, I suspect things have to change in the way oleg creates an AP, since it's using wl commands instead of ifconfig and that kinda stuff:)

Here is the task:

1) Connect to the Internet provider through WAN cable; establish PPTP channel (standard done from the router menu)
2) Provide WiFi to a few devices (standard done from the router menu)
3) Connect to a VPN server in the US through the Internet (not standard)
4) Establish a second SSID "USVPN" and through WiFi connect on computer to this "USVPN", while all the rest of computer are connected through #2 (not standard)

Question 1: I read that #3 is doable, but not sure if #4 is doable with #3. I can go with any firmware if needed (currently I have DDWRT).

The easiest solution is to buy one more router and set it up ... but it seems not right...

Question 2: Is there significant degradation in WiFi performance with two SSID instead of one?

The whole idea of this task is to have to be able to connect to NеtFlix from outside the US, while have the rest of computers to work in the Internet normally and locally...

4: is standard in dd-wrt last time I checked :rolleyes:
and yes, you probably should see some performance loss.

3: depends on the type of vpn server... openvpn is available and "windows" (such as pptp) vpn as well

Hi all ,

Can someone point me how to configure multiple ssid???
Let say "HOME" and "GUEST".
"HOME" can see everybody , but "GUEST" should be restricted to see anybody.

Command line is preferred method

firmware rtn-3503

ANY help will be appreciated :))

THX Rumen

EDIT: Does anyone has a clue???

I've tried to setup guest WiFi based on mostly what's written in this (http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=211889&postcount=77) post (using google translate).

I've set nvram to enable virtual WLAN:

nvram set wl0_vifs="wl0.1"
nvram commit

then after some google some nvram variables for WPA authentication (maybe more than needed and used by the firmware), so nvram show | grep wl0.1_ shows something like this:

wl0.1_hwaddr=92:E6:BA:XX:XX:CB
wl0.1_crypto=aes
wl0.1_security_mode=wpa2_personal
wl0.1_auth_mode=psk
wl0.1_akm=psk2
wl0.1_ifname=wl0.1
wl0.1_mode=ap
wl0.1_closed=0
wl0.1_ssid=GuestNW
wl0.1_bss_maxassoc=128
wl0.1_wpa_psk=GuestPass
wl0.1_wpa_gtk_rekey=0
wl0.1_wme=off
wl0.1_bss_enabled=1

plus modified /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf so cat shows:

interface=br1
dhcp-range=br1,192.168.2.2,192.168.2.200,86400
dhcp-option=br1,3,192.168.2.1


After reboot the SSID is visible, cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf shows that DNS setup is taken from /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf, however when trying to connect, not even key check succeeds (I've checked with tcpdumping br1).

This is how I've created bridge and used it to connect vlan3 created from vlan1:

ifconfig wl0.1 down
ifconfig wl0.1 hw ether $(nvram get wl0.1_hwaddr)
wl down
wl -a wl0.1 bssid $(nvram get wl0.1_hwaddr)
wl up
ifconfig wl0.1 up
brctl addbr br1
brctl stp br1 on
brctl addif br1 wl0.1
ifconfig br1 182.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
wl -a wl0.1 ssid "GuestNW"
vconfig add vlan1 3
ifconfig vlan3 up
brctl addif br1 vlan3

Where am I getting it wrong?
