Give wifi clients internet access via foreign wifi AP (Virtual AP not running)

Sat Mar 07, 2015 3:14 pm

Hi everybody,

the connection to my ISP is broken. Because of that, I want to use another Wifi AP as Gateway.
I connected my Wifi interface to the AP and all computers connected to an ethernet port were online again.
Now I want to provide this internet connection to all my wireless clients, too. So I added a Virtual AP but I can't get it working :? .. it's "not running" but enabled.

I found this on the wiki page: "Virtual AP interface will only work if master interface is in ap-bridge, bridge or wds-slave mode. This property is only for virtual AP interfaces."

But the master interface has to be in station mode for connecting to the wifi AP with internet connection. :/

Did I something wrong or is it not possible what I'm trying to do?

You can use wds or separate client device. There is no universal repeater mode in ros.
