Configuring FON as a wireless client (WEP network) (1)


    March 20th, 2007 | Tags:

    Configuring FON to connect to a WEP secured wireless network as a client is pretty much the same as configuring it to join a WPA network (see in trackbacks)

    Follow only Step 2 of that entry and we just need to change the settings used for /etc/config/wireless The config would look like:

    config wifi-device wifi0
    option type atheros
    config wifi-iface
    option device wifi0
    option mode sta
    option ssid <SSID>
    option encryption wep
    option key <wep key>

    Ensure that all your settings are done right before rebooting. Else you might lock yourself out of the router due to misconfigured network interfaces.
