The shell script for OpenWrt kicks out the wifi client whose signal is too weak signal by comparing it to a threshold.
It can be periodically triggered by crontab or by a loop with a sleep command, thus improves roaming performance.
The shell script works on original OpenWrt (ash shell) with no additional packages, it is also compatible with the bash shell.
This repository was inspired by nikito7/kickout-wifi, thanks for his/her original work :)
I modified some of the kickout rules to meet my own requirements and thus opened a new repository to accept issues for my version.
Before using it, you are suggested to set the 4 parameters according to your own preference. thr=-75 is the threshold (dBm), always negative!
mode can be set to either "white" or "black" (always minuscule):
- in "blacklist" mode, only the clients in the blacklist can be kicked out;
- in "whitelist" mode, the script kicks out all the clients except those in the whitelist. There are thus a blacklist and a whitelist, attention that the type is string other than array, a comma is used to seprate the different mac addresses. By default, the "whitelist" mode is selected, and with an empty whitelist, any associated client might be kicked out by the router if its signal is too weak (< thr).
hidden functions there are commented-out codes in the sh file to offer additional functions, if you can not understand them, just leave those lines commented-out.
First, copy the script file kickout.sh to your router (e.g., using scp), in my case the location is /usr/kickout.sh.
Then, I recommend triggering the script periodically by crontab, whose highest frequency is 1 run per minute. To do this, add the following line to your /etc/crontabs/root file:
*/1 * * * * /bin/sh /usr/kickout.sh
Otherwise, you may prefer a higher frequency to run the script by using the "sleep" command in the kickout.sh and then call itself again. Another way is to use a loop while true - do - done with the "sleep" command in the end of the loop.
The log file is located at /tmp/wifi-kickout.log. Some actions are also recorded in the system logger /var/log/message.
Use a array-like structure to set different thresholds for different wlan devices in the router. Since ash does not support list, string manipulation seems necessary.
Issues are always welcome, English is prefered, Chinese/中文 or French/Français are also accepted.
