I played around a bit more with the wifi on CeroWrt 3.10.24-1, and discovered the ‘wifi' command gives a bunch errors. I don’t know if these are relevant. I’ve included the output of the wifi command, as well as the /etc/config/wireless file’s contents.
The current state of wifi is:s - The wifi channels are distinct between my primary router (1 & 36) and the secondary (6 & 44) - In my secondary router, I used a “+” in the SSIDs to distinguish them from my primary router defaults. - None of the SSIDs allow my computer to get an address - My computer and wifi analyzer [1] show that CeroWrt is only transmitting some of the six SSIDs - I ran the ‘wifi’ command three times and got different results each time. The attempts are detailed below. I hope this is useful.
