Enable WPS

Enable WPS enhancement for repeaters with a single push button

This feature can be used to propagate the WPS button push event to different VAPs in a configurable order and for a configurable duration. By default, this feature is disabled i.e. the WPS button push event is delivered to all VAPs simultaneously and they remain in active WPS mode for two minutes. Also, the SSID and security credentials of a STA VAP, which is received from the root AP, can be propagated to AP VAP(s).

Setting this to 1 enables this feature.

uci set wireless.qcawifi=qcawifi uci set wireless.qcawifi.wps_pbc_extender_enhance=1

Setting this to 1 enables propagation of a STA VAP’s SSID and security credentials to all AP VAPs, when the STA VAP connects to the root AP.

uci set wireless.qcawifi.wps_pbc_overwrite_ap_settings_all=1

Setting this to 1 enables propagation of a STA VAP’s SSID and security credentials to the AP VAP of the same radio, when the STA VAP connects to the root AP.

uci set wireless.wifiX.wps_pbc_overwrite_ap_settings=1

This is the SSID suffix to be added to all AP VAPs, while propagating the SSID from a STA VAP.

uci set wireless.qcawifi.wps_pbc_overwrite_ssid_suffix=”-REPT”

This is the SSID suffix to be added for a particular radio.

uci set wireless.wifiX.wps_pbc_overwrite_ssid_band_suffix=”‐BAND”

If set to 1, the WPS button push event is passed to this VAP (according to the ‘start_time’ and ‘duration’) settings

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[X].wps_pbc_enable=1

This is the delay in seconds, relative to the actual button press, the event is passed to this VAP.

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[X].wps_pbc_start_time=0-240

This is the time in seconds for which the VAP remains in active PBC mode.

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[X].wps_pbc_duration=0-120

If set to 0, the WPS button push event is not passed to a STA VAP, if the STA VAP is already connected to the root AP.

uci set wireless.wifiX.wps_pbc_try_sta_always=1

If set to 0, the WPS button push event is passed to an AP VAP, even if the STA VAP of the same radio is not connected to the root AP.

uci set wireless.wifiX.wps_pbc_skip_ap_if_sta_disconnected=1
