hAP AC2 - Mode button to enable/disable wifi

DottorT86 · Fri Apr 02, 2021 10:57 am

Hi everybody,
I know this topic has been raised many times but I have not been able to find a solution to my case.
I would like to use the "mode button" to activate / deactivate the wifi on my hAP AC2 following these rules:
- if wlan1 or wlan2 or both are enabled then disable both of them
- if wlan1 and wlan2 are both disabled then enable them both
I made many attempts and with the last attempt I was forced to do a factory reset.
This is my last attempt:

:local int1 wlan1
:local int2 wlan2
:local status1 [interface get $int1 enabled]
:local status2 [interface get $int2 enabled]
:if ($status1=true) or ($status2=true) do={
  /interface disable [/interface find name=$int1,$int2]
};
:if ($status1=false) and ($status2=false) do={
  /interface enable [/interface find name=$int1,$int2]
};

Here you go. (Tested on hAP AC2)

Make a script with name

wifi-change

:if ([/interface wireless get wlan1 disabled]=yes) do={
	/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no
	:log info message="Wifi turned on"
	} else={
	/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=yes
	:log info message="Wifi turned off"
}

Add this from cli

/system routerboard mode-button set on-event=wifi-change enabled=yes

Or copy this to cli and take all in one go.

/system script
add dont-require-permissions=no name=wifi-change owner=admin policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,password,sniff,sensitive,romon source=":if ([/\
    interface wireless get wlan1 disabled]=yes) do={\r\
    \n\t/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no\r\
    \n\t:log info message=\"Wifi turned on\"\r\
    \n\t} else={\r\
    \n\t/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=yes\r\
    \n\t:log info message=\"Wifi turned off\"\r\
    \n}"
/system routerboard mode-button
set enabled=yes on-event=wifi-change

Remember AC2 has two interface, so to change 5Ghz as well, just add

/interface wireless set wlan2 disabled=no
/interface wireless set wlan2 disabled=yes

Thank you so much for your reply!!!
I have made some changes to your script to suit my needs and now it seems to work perfectly! Thank you very much!

:if ([/interface wireless get wlan1 disabled]=no or [/interface wireless get wlan2 disabled]=no) do={
	/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=yes
	/interface wireless set wlan2 disabled=yes
	:log info message="Wifi turned off"
	} else={
	/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no
	/interface wireless set wlan2 disabled=no
	:log info message="Wifi turned off"
}

You do not need to test both wifi interface since you always change them at the same time.
But if for some reason interface are not the same status, you change is ok.
Your log info are the same for on/off, so you need to fix that.

PS no need to quote the whole post above you. Use Post Reply button under the post insted.

I made those changes for this reason.

Sorry for the previous quote. I just removed it.

Thank you again

If we have more wireless interfaces (than the default wlan1 and wlan2), then the following code works across the board...

:if ([/interface wireless get wlan1 disabled]=no) do={
	/interface wireless disable [find]
	:log info message="Wifi turned off"
	} else={
	/interface wireless enable [find]
	:log info message="Wifi turned on"
}
