Use WPA2/CCMP (WPA2/AES) only, disable the other auth protocols. Also use the smallest set of standards possible: e.g. do only use wireless N, G, or N&G, do not use B. Take care that beacon intervals etc are set the same. > On Sat, Mar 19, 2016 at 11:32 AM, Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca < > [email protected]> wrote: > > > Just configure both with the same settings, including encryption and > > password. > > > > Em sáb, 19 de mar de 2016 13:09, tovis > > <[email protected]> escreveu: > > > >> > On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 09:39:20PM +0100, tovis wrote: > >> >> Hi everyone! > >> >> I have WiFi service distance problems, in my flat :( > >> >> I have decided reuse my old router ASUS WL-500Gp using OpenWrt > >> >> Backfire 10.3 as a secondary AP. > >> >> My working main router is a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND using OpenWrt > >> >> Chaos Chalmer 15.05 > >> >> Routers are connected using ethernet cable. > >> >> I'm lost what kind of configuration should I use? > >> >> Any suggestion? > >> > > >> > Morning tovis, > >> > > >> > Try this option: Dumb AP.
