Templates coming after override templates that come first (I just noticed I did not explain this properly in the netjsonconfig documentation <http://netjsonconfig.openwisp.org/>). So you should put your general template first and the specific ones after. The important thing is that all the interfaces have the same name ("wlan0") and the required attributes pass the schema validation. Because some attributes are required (name, type, wireless mode, wireless radio, wireles ssid) you may need to duplicate some information in the different templates. This duplication is not optimal and undesiderable, but easier to implement sanely at the moment, I'm sure that we'll find a better way of doing it in the near future. > (FYI.....my 3 templates do match.....and the resulting configuration does > meet expectations) > Great. You are doing things properly. If I were you I would remove a few attributes that you don't use (I would also use the JSON boolean types instead of 1 or 0 because more readable), eg: Template Roaming Setup: { "interfaces": [ { "name": "wlan0", "type": "wireless", "wireless": { "mode": "access_point", "radio": "radio0", "ssid": "testap", "ieee80211r": true, "mobility_domain": "e614", "pmk_r1_push": true } } ] } Template Router Specific Setup (MTU defaults to 1500 anyway so you can remove it): { "interfaces": [ { "name": "wlan0", "type": "wireless", "wireless": { "mode": "access_point", "radio": "radio0", "ssid": "testap", "nasid": "123456789012", "r1_key_holder": "123456789012" } } ] } But these are just small optimizations, you were doing it correctly already.
