WiFi AP switches to Client from Master and does not Broadcast

[chop249]

Expected Behavior

Raspberry Pi 4B should act as a WiFi access point.

Current Behavior

I get it all set up according to Ysurac's instructions but the SSID is not broadcast and the mode switches from Master to Client. I've tried starting from a fresh copy of OpenMPTCPRouter and it does the same. This is what I am following:

https://github.com/Ysurac/openmptcprouter/wiki/Configure-Wifi

Specifications

• OpenMPTCProuter version:
• openmptcprouter v0.58.5 r0+16336-b36068d35d
• OpenMPTCProuter VPS version:
• 0.3+20210508
• OpenMPTCProuter VPS provider:
• Self Hosted on a Debian 10 box
• OpenMPTCProuter platform:
• RPi4B

I would need the result of uci show wireless via SSH on the router or "wireless" part in System->OpenMPTCProuter->Show all config.

****Edited. The first time it was disabled. This is with it enabled.

Try to set a fixed channel and cell density and then disable and enable the interface.

Adding the channel makes it go Wireless is not associated. I tried 1 and 11 as well as just turning density on and with only density it still goes to Client but associates.

What is the result after a uci del wireless.radio0.htmode && commit wireless via SSH on the router ?

[chop249]

I got it up and running. I had to change it from N to Legacy. Not sure why but it worked.
