WLAN configuration
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gluon allows to configure 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios independently. The configuration
|
2019-11-05 19:50:37 +00:00
|
|
|
may include one or both of the two networks "client" (AP mode) and "mesh" (802.11s
|
|
|
|
|
mode), which can be used simultaneously. See :doc:`../user/site` for details on the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration.

Upgrade behaviour

|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For each of these networks, the site configuration may define a `disabled` flag (by
|
|
|
|
|
default, all configured networks are enabled). This flag is merely a default setting,
|
|
|
|
|
on upgrades the existing setting is always retained (as this setting may have been changed
|

|
|
|
by the user). This means that it is not possible to enable or disable an existing network
|

|
|
|
configurations during upgrades.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
During upgrades the wifi channel of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio will be restored to the channel
|
|
|
|
|
configured in the site.conf. If you need to preserve a user defined wifi channel during upgrades
|
|
|
|
|
you can configure this via the uci section ``gluon-core.wireless``::
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-08-12 03:10:38 +00:00
|
|
|
uci set gluon.wireless.preserve_channels='1'
|
2016-02-05 23:01:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
When channels should be preserved, toggling the outdoor mode will have no effect on the channel settings.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, the Outdoor mode settings won't be displayed in config mode.
|

|
|
|
Keep in mind that nodes running wifi interfaces on custom channels can't mesh with default nodes anymore!
