I've been setting up an #OpenWrt router as a WiFi access point (via powerline LAN). https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/wifiextenders/bridgedap It needed 3 changes beyond the tutorial to make it stable: + Disable the firewall on the AP (tutorial said this wasn't necessary) + Use WPA2 encryption only (my laptop kept dropping with mixed mode) + Choose 5GHz channel outside 100-144 range (which is affected by radar detection checks in UK) The #WiFi speed at the far side of the house has doubled. Hooray for reusing my old router!
