OpenWrt client + wi-fi server how to set up?

Question

network hardware

The sailor himself.
The vessel has a TP-LINK MR-3420 v2 router (powered by LuCI (git-15.322.41646-8b08756) / OpenWrt Designated Driver r47512). connected in the wheelhouse to the antenna.
Is it possible to make settings so that the router can connect to the wi-fi AP and simultaneously distribute on the ship?
I would be very grateful.

Answer 1

Go to the menu Network - Wi-Fi.
Customize your access point settings (SSID, password, etc.). Save your settings.
Then click Add in the same place and create a new virtual wireless interface. Specify ssid like wificlient and set mode (mode) to client. Enter the ssid of the network you want to connect to and the password. Save your settings.
