WiFi Control

Configure radios, manage SSIDs, and set up guest WiFi with auto-expiry.

The WiFi tab provides full control over your router’s wireless configuration.

Radio Configuration 🔗

View and edit settings for each radio (2.4GHz and 5GHz):

• Channel — Select from available channels. Channel auto is resolved to a fixed channel (149 for 5GHz, 11 for 2.4GHz) at submit time to avoid router errors
• HT mode — Channel width (20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz, etc.)
• Country code — Regulatory domain

Interface Management 🔗

For each wireless interface (SSID), you can:

• View — Current encryption, password, network, and client count
• Edit — Change SSID name, encryption type, password
• Toggle — Enable or disable the interface
• Delete — Remove the interface entirely
• Add new — Create a new SSID with desired configuration

All changes are applied through the WRTune Engine’s WiFi methods (set_wifi, add_wifi, delete_wifi, toggle_wifi).

Guest WiFi 🔗

Set up a time-limited guest network:

1. Tap “Guest WiFi” from Quick Actions or the WiFi tab
2. Configure SSID name and password
3. Set duration (hours)
4. Optionally enable client isolation (guests can’t see each other)
5. Tap Start

The router runs an auto-expiry timer. When time runs out, the guest network is automatically disabled. You can extend the time at any point via extend_guest_time.

Kicking Clients 🔗

Disconnect any wireless client from the network:

1. Go to a wireless interface’s client list
2. Tap “Kick” on a client
3. WRTune calls wrtune.kick_client via hostapd

Channel Auto-Override 🔗

When a radio’s channel is set to auto in the UI, WRTune silently substitutes:

• 5GHz: channel 149
• 2.4GHz: channel 11

This is a workaround for routers that fail to auto-assign channels. The UI still shows “auto” — the substitution is invisible.
