Normally what will be the wireless config for the repeater mode default.
the exact file that you create as a result of the GUI is what you would
put in the build config. But you say that you don't want that file because
you want to connect to different SSIDs on different channels, so you don't
_have_ any one file that you want to put in the default.
When you use LUCI to scan and attach to a different SSID, you say that it
looses the config for the local systems to connect to it. This could be a
LUCI problem, or it could be that the driver requires that this be reset
afterwords.
If it's a LUCI problem, you will have to fix that code (or go to where
tehy develop it and convince them to fix it). If it's a driver problem you
are out of luck.
But we can't tell you a file to put in the build that will connect to any
remote system because there isn't one file that will automatically connect
to any of several remote systems.

Since you are using a non-mainline driver, we don't know what the driver
s
able to do.
It sounds as if there is a problem that could either be in the driver or
in LUCI that makes it loose the rest of the config when you have it scan
for networks.
you can probably avoid that by just changing the info in the file to be
appropriate for the new environment and restarting wifi/rebooting. If you
want to do this via the existing GUI you will need to make code changes
to
LUCI.
But at this point you are talking custom stuff.

I thought you said a couple posts ago that you were able to configure it through
the GUI to work the way you wanted it to, you were just wanting to make
something the default.
So do you have it working or not?
If you have it working, it should keep working after a reboot. What are you
meaning when you say that you want to change the default?
Are you meaning that you want to create an image that will behave this way when
you do a factory reset (or when you first flash it)? If so, then you need to

Then i add one more ap mode so wireless config becomes,

option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'Test_ap'
option network 'lan'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'Test_ap'
option wds '1'
This i added manually one ap mode.
So if i copy this config file, build and load this firmware, its load what
it was there so it shows one client which i was connected last time and one
AP which i added.
But now i cannot scan anymore and connect to new router instead of old
client.
This is the problem i am facing.
Basically i need to configure the wireless file for repeater mode.
So after connecting to another router this SSID still should be there and
other device can connect to it.

you have a working config
but you want to do something by default
what you want to do is different at different times.
what is it that you want to be the default? when do you want this default to
apply? This isn't clear.

Yes,
i can copy the config and build with this configuration,
for example now i have connected to some router, another time we can
connect to any router. So how i can fix the settings by default.

what do you mean by "default wireless config file"
Once you have set it from the GUI, it is in the config files. The next
time you boot it will use that config.
If you mean that you want it in the factory default config (for when you
first flash the router or do a factory reset), then take the
/etc/config/wireless and /etc/config/network files and add them to your
build under /files

Firstly i configure wireless config as below:
config wifi-device 'wifi0'
option type 'qcawifi'
option macaddr '00:01:11:00:01:00'
option hwmode '11ng'
option txpower '17'
option htmode 'HT20'
option disabled '0'
option channel '1'
config wifi-iface
option device 'wifi0'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'Testing_ap'
option network 'lan'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'Testing_ap'
so its SSID was showing and able to connect any device to it.
Then i scan the device and connect to one of it. While joining the
network
i selected Client(WDS) then the wireless config becomes like below:
why don't you try following the steps in the video that you posted.
first connect as a client, then add an additional interface and make the
second interface the AP for things to connect to.
the order may make a difference.
David Lang
config wifi-device 'wifi0'
option type 'qcawifi'
option macaddr '00:01:11:00:01:00'
option hwmode '11ng'
option txpower '17'
option htmode 'HT20'
option disabled '0'
option channel '1'
config wifi-iface
option network 'wwan'
option ssid 'D_Link_Router'
option encryption 'psk2'
option device 'wifi0'
option mode 'sta'
option key 'Dlink_Router'
option wds '1'
Then i added one as shown in the video. Now its connected to router
also
and this add one also showing so i can connect to this also.
But i am not getting how to keep this in default wireless config.
Because every time we cant add one to configure like this. It should be
like default should be in ap mode so any device we can connect, if its
connected to another router also that SSID still should be visible and
able
to connect to this.

Based on your comments, i'm guessing that things don't work when you
try
and configure the second network and have it with a different SSID
than
the
first network that you put in client mode.
Is this correct?
