what is it that you want to be the default? when do you want this default to apply? This isn't clear.<br>

Yes,<br>
<br>
i can copy the config and build with this configuration,<br>
<br>
for example now i have connected to some router, another time we can<br>
connect to any router. So how i can fix the settings by default.<br>

<br>
what do you mean by "default wireless config file"<br>
<br>
Once you have set it from the GUI, it is in the config files. The next<br>
time you boot it will use that config.<br>
<br>
If you mean that you want it in the factory default config (for when you<br>
first flash the router or do a factory reset), then take the<br>
/etc/config/wireless and /etc/config/network files and add them to your<br>
build under /files<br>

client/AP interfaces on one radio)<br>
<br>
Firstly i configure wireless config as below:<br>
<br>
config wifi-device 'wifi0'<br>
option type 'qcawifi'<br>
option macaddr '00:01:11:00:01:00'<br>
option hwmode '11ng'<br>
option txpower '17'<br>
option htmode 'HT20'<br>
option disabled '0'<br>
option channel '1'<br>
<br>
config wifi-iface<br>
option device 'wifi0'<br>
option mode 'ap'<br>
option ssid 'Testing_ap'<br>
option network 'lan'<br>
option encryption 'psk2'<br>
option key 'Testing_ap'<br>
<br>
so its SSID was showing and able to connect any device to it.<br>
<br>
Then i scan the device and connect to one of it. While joining the<br>
network<br>
i selected Client(WDS) then the wireless config becomes like below:<br>
<br>
<br>

why don't you try following the steps in the video that you posted.<br>
<br>
first connect as a client, then add an additional interface and make the<br>
second interface the AP for things to connect to.<br>
<br>
the order may make a difference.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
config wifi-device 'wifi0'<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
option type 'qcawifi'<br>
option macaddr '00:01:11:00:01:00'<br>
option hwmode '11ng'<br>
option txpower '17'<br>
option htmode 'HT20'<br>
option disabled '0'<br>
option channel '1'<br>
<br>
config wifi-iface<br>
option network 'wwan'<br>
option ssid 'D_Link_Router'<br>
option encryption 'psk2'<br>
option device 'wifi0'<br>
option mode 'sta'<br>
option key 'Dlink_Router'<br>
option wds '1'<br>
<br>
Then i added one as shown in the video. Now its connected to router<br>
also<br>
and this add one also showing so i can connect to this also.<br>
<br>
But i am not getting how to keep this in default wireless config.<br>
<br>
Because every time we cant add one to configure like this. It should be<br>
like default should be in ap mode so any device we can connect, if its<br>
connected to another router also that SSID still should be visible and<br>
able<br>
to connect to this.<br>

What happens when you try to follow the video?<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Based on your comments, i'm guessing that things don't work when you<br>
try<br>
and configure the second network and have it with a different SSID<br>
than<br>
the<br>
first network that you put in client mode.<br>
<br>
Is this correct?<br>
