Multi SSIDs Tomatousb

[Geraner]

Still have the (warning: WL driver reports BSSID 00:00:00:00:00:00) on .97 shibby

YesI have the same. But now I have a wifi signal and can connect to my Guest-Wifi without any problem.

Wish I could say the same ...... but none of my devices will connect. I can see signal fine but no connection. This is still very flaky imho.

Love shibby stuff but this feature not working on such an expensive and newer router is a non starter

If you need that feature you can use RMerlin RT-N16 build, that's working with BSSID, that is a god starter !

Think I am going to take your advice. Shibby stuff has worked awesome for me, but no guest network is no longer viable for my situation.

How is performance compared to shibby ???

The gust network works fine on Shibby you just need to invest more time into getting it to work, it took me only about an 2 hours to get it to work and I am super noobish, go look at the link I posted in the first post and keep on trying

The performance/range I'd say is comparable to the stock firmware and IF there is a discrepancy it would be 5-10% tops, you must ask yourself how much do you favor shibby with all its features against stock firmware?

it was a bless after getting it to work, I feel that I lost the last 5 years of my life on shirtty firmware

Jeffspears I understand and would LOVE to stay with shibby, it works awesome for me except for guest network. I am not generally considered noobish as I have several IT certs so perhaps there is some hardware difference at the root of this issue. That and this part of the code I consider pretty alpha.

I have tried several tutorials including shibby's own. None of my devices can find a mac to connect to even though they can see the ssid.

Have invested over 20 hours - but no love for me I guess

Ohi i saw this page and thought it relates to you, I stole it from a recent post in the forums

Thanks for that useful post Jeff. I knew it was not on my end.



"The multiple SSID feature currently in Tomato is seriously broken, IMHO it's non functional. You can delete a network once it's been created. You can't change the security settings once saved."

"Looks to me that this feature never properly worked with the RT-N branch"


Good to see that the problem is being replicated and worked on by other devs making commits.

Looks like Shibby and jyavenard are going to try and do something to get this working.

Here is hoping.

Looks like Jyavenard has fixed/changed some code and got multi SSID working properly.

Here's the post and also he's posted some builds with the fixes.

Nice !

Looks like he is using toastmans builds and recommends to wait a few days for a shibby build.

Crossing fingers they got this done.

Hi all, I tried Shibby's latest build version 097 with 64k ram and I kept all the settings from build version 095. But I doesn't seem to me that Shibby has fixed the issues with Virtual Wireless / Multi SSIDs yet...

P/s: I tried to wipe out all the previous settings and configured the router from scratch, but still couldn't fix the issue with MAC being 00.00.00.00.00.00 or wireless signal just disappearing after sometimes. Any good solution ?

Same here, any time you change settings related to wireless just have to reboot to get guest WLAN working right, other than that I've had no issues with it runnning for weeks at a time (with only unrelated reboots for upgrades/changes).

Hey, I tried creating a guest SSID using tomato 1.28 by shibby from:
http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/wl_high-module-finally-compiled.48626/

I found a problem - clients connecting to the SSID i made doesnt seem to have dns working.

I can ping to 8.8.4.4 but cannot ping google.com as an example. As soon as I change the laptop's network card's ipv4 property setting's dns to 4.2.2.2 I can browse websites.

Any ideas how to fix this??

I had no issues getting my Guest Wireless network working with the .104 build of Shibby, but did you guys have any luck in getting the bandwidth restriction working for a "Client" in your Guest network? You can limit the bandwidth of the whole network, but I cannot specify a user in the Bandwidth restriction page that is a member of the guest network and have it work.
