How to connect wireless clients to ap?

[deanfourie1]

I'm trying to connect wireless clients to access points,

I have managed to do this using the wireless links sections, however I can only connect a device to a APs wireless interface once, after that it is greyed out. Is there a way to connect multiple clients to say the one wlan 2g interface?

Or am I doing this wrong?

Thanks

Again, this is such a weak function to be missing. Whats going on?

I mean seriously, I really struggle to comprehend how this is still not implemented. I understand that netbox is an opensource platform and community, but to connect one-to-many wireless devices to an interface on an AP is so basic, and so logical, I just can't understand how this has not yet been implemented. I'm pulling my hair out here due to confusion.

If there is a logical reason, then please enlighten me by all means.

This confused me too, but after reading the docs I learned wireless links are only for point-to-point links, and to model many WiFi clients/stations being associated with a WiFi SSID you've created:

1. Edit the WiFi client's interface
2. Set the Type to one of the 802.11 options
3. Scroll down to Wireless
4. Set the Wireless role to Station
5. In the Wireless LANs dropdown, add the SSID(s) the WiFi client is configured to connect to
6. Select Save

Then to see a list of stations and access points associated with the SSID:

1. Navigate to Wireless > Wireless LANs > [your SSID name]
2. Scroll down to Attached Interfaces
