Setting a static IP

[paulv888]

I managed to set a static IP in the following and thought I should share.

Edit the wpa_actions.sh file

Code: Select all

nano /root/wifi/wpa_action.sh

Comment following line:

Code: Select all

#    udhcpc -i $IFACE -t 15 -b & 


Then add these lines:

Code: Select all

ifconfig $IFACE 192.168.2.121 netmask 255.255.255.0
    route add default gw 192.168.2.1
    echo "nameserver 192.168.2.1 # wlan0" > /tmp/resolv.conf

Further I commented this line in:

Code: Select all

nano /etc/init.d/S41wireless
#/root/wifi/check_wifi.sh &

This prevents falling back to ap_mode. Since the /tmp/isalive is never created

The changes listed above did not work on my rooted hub. I made some slight tweaks shown below and now I have a working static IP. FYI, I am on firmware 2.49 (just released today on 2/5/2016).

NOTE!: Make a backup of your wpa_action.sh file by using this command (prior to changing your file):
cp /root/wifi/wpa_action.sh /root/wifi/wpa_action.sh_bak

After the file is saved, you can test the script by running the following:
sh /root/wifi/wpa_action.sh wlan0 CONNECTED
ifconfig


#!/bin/bash
IFACE=$1
EVENT=$2

case $EVENT in

CONNECTED) logger -p notice -s "Received event: $EVENT"
set_rgb 127 83 0 0 0 0 flash 500000
echo "ATTEMPTING_TO_GET_IP" > /tmp/connection_status
# udhcpc -i $IFACE --retries 15 --timeout 3 --syslog --tryagain 10 -R
ifconfig $IFACE 192.168.0.97 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo "nameserver 192.168.0.50 # wlan0" > /tmp/resolv.conf
echo "1" > /tmp/isalive #THIS IS REQUIRED TO KEEP THE HUB FROM ENTERING AP MODE (WIFI CONFIGURATION MODE)
;;

DISCONNECTED) logger -p notice -s "Received event: $EVENT"
source /usr/sbin/terminate_verify
# Kill udhcpc gently so it releases our IP (the -R option must be specified at startup)
terminate_verify udhcpc
set_rgb 127 127 0 0 0 0 flash 250000
echo "DISCONNECTED" > /tmp/connection_status
;;

*) logger -p error -s "Strange event: $EVENT"
;;
