I have an x86 openWRT router running on ProxMox. An Asus AC68U running Merlin or Fresh Tomato (tried both).
My router is at 192.168.1.1. I would like my Wi-Fi access point to be available at 192.168.1.2. I would like my Wi-Fi devices to be assigned their DHCP addresses by the router.
Eventually, I would like a couple virtual SSIDs, and VLAN traffic.
However, today, all I want to do is access my access point management consul, and get my devices online.
I’ve had a hell of a time. The closest I got was that the access point was on 192.168.2.1, and I could manually tell each Wi-Fi device to use the correct 1.1 gateway.
I am assuming I may need different subnets, and I may need at least some firewall rules, routes, or NATwork.
Stuck; please help.
Log into your AP and change its IP to 192.168.1.2. Also if it has a dhcp server turn it off so that your router provides dhcp to all devices.
what model is your access point? is it the Asus? is it in Access point mode?
As long as your access point isn’t also a dhcp server you shouldn’t have to do any of that
1.2 or 2.1 should both work. If you use 1.2 make sure your router isn’t starting the address pool that low
What ip are your devices getting from dhcp
