Hi,

Is this possible or is upcoming on the next firmware ?

I have a LTE MIFI with no ethernet port, would like the Airconsole as a Wireless Client instead.

Apologies for the ongoing delays to AP Client. It is coming, and should be within the next 3 weeks. We have basically had to re-write a lot of the routing code in the firmware from scratch to solve a very horrible yet intermittent bug. Its pretty much done now. Because it is such an extensive re-write it will be called firmware 2.0 and requires us to do a lot more testing before it is released. Thanks for your patience.

Need any beta testers ?

(My group created the Apple AirPort products…)

Congrats on getting the long awaited AirConsole 2.0 firmware released!

I've two AirConsoles and would like to be able to access both of them from my Win7 laptop. Can I configure one AirConsole as the AP router while the other AirConsole as an AP Client to connect to the first AirConsole, and then use my Win7 laptop's to access the first AirConsole's SSID?

E.g.

AirConsole-1: AP Router, DHCP server serving out IP addresses in the range of 192.168.10.2-20 while itself runs on static IP 192.168.10.1 SSID AirConsole-1A

AirConsole-2: AP Client, DHCP client. Will connect to SSID "Airconsole-1A" and get DHPC IP of 192.168.10.2 .

WIn7-PC: AP Client, DHCP client. Will connect to SSID "Airconsole-1A" and get DHPC IP of 192.168.10.3 .

Win7-PC to access AirConsole-1's serial port via telneting to 192.168.10.1 port 3696, and AirConsole-2's serial port via telneting to 192.168.10.2 port 3696.

Will the above scenario work ?

Any update on when this feature might be implemented?

smolz, the feature has been implemented in v2.0 firmware. It separates the wireless and wired interfaces to their own networks, but it does work and works well. You can hack it into bridging the interfaces together too, if you dabble around at the unix prompt.

Can someone tell me what AP Authmodes are supported? Open, WEP WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-Enterprise? Are all of these supported?

Thanks,

All those auth modes are supported however WPA2 Enterprise is with Pre shared key rather than certs.
