How do I setup a RB912UAG as a basic wireless AP

I want to connect to the 912UAG with ethernet initially to set it up so that the ethernet is the WAN and the only client access is via the 2.4 WiFi.

But the default script is for the ethernet to be the LAN and the wireless to be the WAN.

How do I reverse this? Is there a /export file here on the forum that I can use to import to get this 912 up and running?
If not then what are the correct steps. I have a RB2011 with dual WAN and multiple LAN segments and a pretty sophisticated firewall setup including 1:1 nat’d ip addresses but this little 912 has challenged me because it only has the 1 ethernet port. I keep locking myself out!

Also, what is dumb on my part is that I have a WAN connection working via the USB into an LTE USB Dongle. So you would think I could get the Ethernet to co-operate :slight_smile:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As a post script to my posting…

I can get the ethernet to come up on my ISP (they use DHCP) but I think there is a problem with the WiFi being bridged to the ethernet.

The answer is in the address table. I had the LAN address 192.168.88.0/24 on the ‘ethernet’ instead of the ‘wlan’.

So now I have what I want ! Oh, and don’t forget to setup srcnat masquerading to get things to work.

But, the question remains, do I remove the lan-bridge completely? In other words, if I have no ethernet lan and just have wireless clients on the router then is a bridge interface even necessary?
