Access existing WiFi?

Post by lilltonka »

Hi there! I have a B3 that has been unused for quite some time. I was wondering if it is possible to use the wifi capability to access an existing wifi, or is it only able to create a new AP? Thanks in advance!

Of course you can. You can't manage it through the web GUI though.

Don't forget to edit the firewall rules as well. These are stored in /etc/firewall.conf and in it you will find a line stating

Code: Select all

-A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
Duplicate this line directly below it but change `eth1` to `wlan0` and then run `iptables-restore /etc/firewall.conf`
