WDS Bridge with dynamic channels
Model : TL-WR1043ND
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : v4
ISP : wifirst
Hey everyone,
I set up my WR1043ND router to act as a WDS bridge between my local Ethernet network and a wifi network (public network, but with portal login) I have access to. My problem is that the connection is cut every day, approximately. I have tracked down the issue to the wifi's channel, which seems to change regularly (there are multiple antennas in the network). Changing the channel manually to match the wifi network fixes the issue.
I would like to know if there is a way to automate this process. It seems to me like such a functionality would be easy to implement, just select the channel corresponding to the antenna that offers the best bandwidth. If it isn't possible to do this with the TP Link default firmware, do you know of any other firmware that would do the job ?
I searched a bit, and found openwrt. If anyone here has experience with it, I'd appreciate feedback. Is it possible to have openwrt automatically match the wifi network's channel ?
