This post was last edited by wateras1 on 2018-3-5 17:02 Why do we need to modify the IP address of the OP router for MTK7688? If you follow my previous post, you may find that the evaluation board can access the Internet, but the computer or mobile phone cannot access the Internet when connected to an unencrypted WIFI hotspot. Why? It is likely that the network segment of the upper-level router conflicts with the network segment of your current router. For example, the upper-level router I use is a TPLINK router with a network segment of 192.168.1.1. The IP of my development board is also 192.168.1.1. The IP segment assigned to connect to the WIFI hotspot cannot be the network segment of 192.168.1.1. We need to modify it to other network segments, such as setting the IP of the evaluation board to 192.168.4.1. This can solve the problem. At this time, we need to modify the configuration file of /etc/config/network. Let's first use the cat command to see what's in the network file
We only need to change the IP in the red circle to 192.168.4.1 and it will be OK. The method is as follows:
We enter 192.168.4.1 to enter the LUCI interface and you can see that my computer has logged into WIFI. In this way, a router function is realized. You can also configure the network access method like your home router, such as DHCP or PPPOE. The commands are as follows: The first one is used as a repeater mode. For wired mode, you don't need to enter the SSID and password. The second one is used as STA mode. Only you can access the Internet. It does not support access to devices. The third one is router mode. You can access the Internet by yourself and support devices connected to WIFI to access the Internet. The fourth one is PPPOE Internet access. Buy an Internet card from the operator to log in to the Internet. This is what I have at home.
"widora_mode repeater" or
"widora_mode repeater ssid key""widora_mode client" or
"widora_mode client ssid key""widora_mode router""widora_mode pppoe" or
"widora_mode pppoe name key"
It is really simple to use OP to realize WIFI amplifier or router. All the configurations are realized. Life should be about drinking the strongest wine, singing the wildest songs, and DIY your own router
