Morning, I have found the error.
It affects all Atheros routers and is related to wireless security.
If the security mode is deactivated, no BSSID is written to supplicant.conf.
I'll report it to Brainslayer and get back to you when it's fixed.
Edit: You can insert the BSSID manually as follows
Code:
sed -i $'/network={/a bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55' /tmp/wlan0_wpa_supplicant.conf
kill -HUP $(pidof "wpa_supplicant")
Execute via telnet or ssh
It is possible that it does not work via WebIF
But it is not a permanent solution.
You can also try the script
Code:
#!/bin/ash
while :
do
if grep -q bssid /tmp/wlan0_wpa_supplicant.conf;
then
sleep 30
else
sed -i $'/network={/a bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55' /tmp/wlan0_wpa_supplicant.conf
kill -HUP $(pidof "wpa_supplicant")
sleep 30
fi
done
i just checked the first tp-link 841 and yes i have done the same mistake.
..i was expecting that "wireless mac filter will work in station (client) mode.
As you said there is no option in the old firmware.

WE thank you so much.
the invitation I told you is valid. I didn't say that for fun... let the others go to the nightclub where the bouzouki is played, we'll go to the routers!
i just installed without reset.
it was already from the previous test you told me to do with one wrong mac-address and it couldn't connect!!
When i replaced the wrong mac-address with the desired one immediately connected!!
i will inform about the stability but it works!
What i can say thank you again.
should I ask something more?
this was a chronic problem, wasn't it?
maybe i have to reset because I have many many disconnections.
it doesn't not change to another Mac address/Ap but i have disconnections in every combination I have done in the wireless settings Especially when i do Speed Test (20/10)
Even with the Tomato router i can not get more than 29/18mbits .
offtopic
(the Vdsl is connected at 166/18 but all the Ap here are 2.4 and the most of the times in the same channel.)
Use 2.4 band as station, 5GHz as AP with no VAPs. If you must have a 2.4 band AP, add a separate device. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
