I wanted to try using OpenWRT for my Xiaomi Routers, but found out, that the Mi WiFi R3 is not officially supported. But I found out, that the Chinese fork, called X-WRT has images for it, hence I used it, thinking that not much would be changed in the image.

Now I have a Redmi AC2100 which works perfectly with OpenWisp, so does the R3 for basic configurations (Timezone, Hostnam, etc.).

Since I am a lazy person, I wanted to make a 2.4 and 5 GHz network and apply it on both of them, but it fails to do so on the X-WRT router.

Has someone successfully got it working? I suppose the config differences are causing this behaviour, since the default name for wifi interfaces are not wifi_wlanX but wifinetX for example.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mirza,

could you please share the configuration in /etc/config/wireless and the relevant error output of logread after you run the command "wifi" or "reload_config" (the latter works only after changing the wireless configuration).

I hope I will be able to set it up, since I really like the idea behind your tool!

Look at this: https://github.com/openwisp/netjsonconfig/blob/master/tests/openwrt/test_wireless.py#L947-L975

See "arbitrary_id"? Add the same attribute but put wlan0 and wlan1 to the respective interface and the existing interfaces should be replaced.

Ups, seems this is not documented :(

http://netjsonconfig.openwisp.org/en/latest/backends/openwrt.html#wireless-settings

Let me know if it solves your problem.

Sorry, I was mistaken, you should use "wifinet0" and "wifinet1".

Okay, I cloned my template add the custom setting under wireless.

Now the existing config is overwritten with the new one!
But I'm still not able to get the WiFi running...

Running wifi leads to the following log entries:

Ups, seems this is not documented :(

Let me know if it solves your problem.

I'm not sure what you mean for not getting the wifi running, but make sure the "network" config option is present and correctly set:

config wifi-iface 'wifinet1'

# ,,,
option network 'lan'

It's used to bridge the wifi interface to the lan.

For the rest, I don't see failures in the log, nor the renaming of unnamed configurations should affect the configuration, therefore I think is just something missing in the resulting configuration.

I meant I am not able to discover the AP neither with my phone nor with my laptop.

My current /etc/config/wireless is:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'


        option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/0000:01:00.0'


        option disabled '0'
        option channel 'auto'
        option country 'DE'
        option htmode 'HT40'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option txpower '20'




config wifi-device 'radio1'
        option type 'mac80211'


        option path 'platform/10180000.wmac'
        option disabled '0'
        option channel 'auto'
        option country 'DE'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option hwmode '11a'
        option txpower '20'




config wifi-iface 'wifinet0'


        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'


        option encryption 'psk2'
        option skip_inactivity_poll '1'
        option wpa_group_rekey '0'
        option wpa_pair_rekey '0'
        option wpa_master_rekey '0'


        option disabled '0'


        option hidden '0'
        option ifname 'wlan0'
        option isolate '0'
        option key 'test1234'
        option macfilter 'disable'


        option ssid 'Narouter'
        option wds '0'
        option wmm '1'




config wifi-iface 'wifinet1'


        option device 'radio1'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'


        option encryption 'psk2'
        option skip_inactivity_poll '1'
        option wpa_group_rekey '0'
        option wpa_pair_rekey '0'
        option wpa_master_rekey '0'


        option disabled '0'


        option hidden '0'
        option ifname 'wlan1'
        option isolate '0'
        option key 'test1234'
        option macfilter 'disable'


        option ssid 'Narouter'
        option wds '0'
        option wmm '1'

I would assume that it looks alright (similar to the working one on my AC2100). I will look up whats wrong with by changing the config step by step.

Okay the fix was quite easy in the end.

I have the feeling, a lot of stuff is predefined, such as that radio0 is for 5GHz and radio1 is for 2.4GHz.

Hence just switching them in the config did indeed made the WiFi appear on my phone and laptop and works without problems.
