Ihave a linksys wap54g v2 (edit i mistaken it for v1.1) (second edit: 2 MB Intel flash memory, 8 MB RAM and 3 LEDs on front panel) I would like to install with openwrt, but documentation is a bit confusing and I'm not understanding which firmware to install. As far as I understand I have to choose the proper version or risk to run out of ram/bricking the device, right?
It's going to be a repeater/radio bridge, I live in a very very isolated ex colonial forest villa in the middle of nowhere and about 36km from any sign of human life, the only point where my 4g simcard modem has connection on the roof of the house, this wap is going to act as a repeater/wifi bridge to the floor below, the house is made of stone and acts as faraday cage so i need a repeater.
I forgot to mention: as it stand with original firmware it's not connecting in repeater mode to my 4/5g modem
However, the device you're dealing with is a WAP (wireless access point), not a router. So, in theory, you should be able to use the stock firmware, configure its IP address and SSID/password, and plug it into your network. But you won't be able to set it up as a repeater -- you'll have to hardwire (but I had already mentioned that anyway, even if you could use OpenWrt).
In the stock firmware/web interface it has the "wireless repeater" setup, i thought i could use it as a kind of radio bridge, with a solar-battery connector, i got the solar-battery connetion setup, i guess all work for nothing. or i should run a long ethernet cable down
See what happens with the repeater mode built-in (it is likely WDS which requires both the main and the secondary device to both be configured for this type of connectivity, and also has a significant impact on bandwidth -- usually cutting it in half). But if you can run a wire, that is always better.
