Configure OpenWRT as repeater

Question

I need to call a web service with a java client. This service authenticates clients through certificates at the message level (Ws-Security, not SSL).

It should be possible since, I can generate web services with JAX-WS with mutual certificate security in this dialog.

But I don't manage to create a client. Does anyone has an idea ?

Solution 1

I got a tp link 740N with openwrt and atheros chip working as a wireless repeater by using this tutorial as a reference.

basically, you need to connect your wifi router as a client to your main one, create a new virtual wifi interface and bridge the two via relayd (repeater package)

In my case I'm using two identical tplinks with same version of openwrt so I'm not sure if it will work with different chips or router models.

Solution 2

Look at the dd-wrt pages for repeaters. On dd-wrt you have to configure the wireless as a client, the you add a virtual wireless interface that is an access point. I got this to work on my dd-wrt atheros based DIR-601.

Thanks I accept since your response helped me to find the answer. However netbeans allow you generate that from the WSDL, I did not know that the Trust store was the public key and key store a private+public key.

OP asked dd-wrt or openwrt?
