The WiFi settings are configured in the file \texttt{/etc/config/wireless} (currently supported on Broadcom and Atheros). When booting the router for the first time it should detect your card and create a sample configuration that looks like this: \paragraph{Sample Broadcom wireless config:} \begin{Verbatim} config wifi-device "wl0" option type "broadcom" option channel "5" config wifi-iface option device "wl0" option mode "ap" option ssid "OpenWrt" option hidden "0" option encryption "none" \end{Verbatim} \paragraph{Sample Atheros wireless config:} \begin{Verbatim} config wifi-device "wifi0" option type "atheros" option channel "5" option mode "11g" config wifi-iface option device "wifi0" option mode "ap" option ssid "OpenWrt" option hidden "0" option encryption "none" \end{Verbatim} There are two types of config sections in this file. The '\texttt{wifi-device}' refers to the physical wifi interface and '\texttt{wifi-iface}' configures a virtual interface on top of that (if supported by the driver). \paragraph{Options for the \texttt{wifi-device}:} \begin{itemize} \item \texttt{type} \\ The driver to use for this interface. \item \texttt{mode} \\ The frequency band (\texttt{b}, \texttt{g}, \texttt{bg}, \texttt{a}) \item \texttt{country} \\ The country code used to determine the regulatory settings. \item \texttt{channel} \\ The wifi channel (e.g. 1-14, depending on your country setting). \item \texttt{maxassoc} \\ Maximum number of associated clients \end{itemize} \paragraph{Options for the \texttt{wifi-iface}:} \begin{itemize} \item \texttt{mode} \\ Operating mode: \begin{itemize} \item \texttt{ap} \\ Access point mode \item \texttt{sta} \\ Client mode \item \texttt{adhoc} \\ Ad-Hoc mode \item \texttt{wds} \\ WDS point-to-point link \end{itemize} \item \texttt{network} \\ Selects the interface section from \texttt{/etc/config/network} to be used with this interface \item \texttt{encryption} \\ Encryption setting. Accepts the following values: \begin{itemize} \item \texttt{psk}, \texttt{psk2} \\ WPA(2) Pre-shared Key \item \texttt{wpa}, \texttt{wpa2} \\ WPA(2) RADIUS \end{itemize} \item \texttt{key} (wpa and psk) \\ Either the WPA key (PSK mode) or the RADIUS shared secret (WPA RADIUS mode) \item \texttt{server} (wpa) \\ The RADIUS server address \item \texttt{port} (wpa) \\ The RADIUS server port \end{itemize} \paragraph{Limitations:} Only the following mode combinations are supported: \begin{itemize} \item \textbf{Broadcom}: \\ \begin{itemize} \item 1x \texttt{sta}, 0-3x \texttt{ap} \item 1-4x \texttt{ap} \item 1x \texttt{adhoc} \end{itemize} WDS links can only be used in pure AP mode and can't use WEP (except when sharing the settings with the master interface, which is done automatically). \item \textbf{Atheros}: \\ \begin{itemize} \item 1x \texttt{sta}, 0-4x \texttt{ap} \item 1-4x \texttt{ap} \item 1x \texttt{adhoc} \end{itemize} \end{itemize}
