RBMetal2SHPn as an home AP

mburgus · Fri Sep 16, 2022 11:57 pm

I haven't played with this since 2017.
I had it working on top of a barn. I was hardwired to a switch. And it worked great. But I forgot the password and when I reset it. My configuration was lost. I did upgrade it to the latest software of 7.5
My problem is getting a wireless device to be able to connect to the internet. If I get the laptop to connect to the RBMetal2SHPn, it doesn't have internet access. If I get the RBMetal2SHPn to be able to ping an internet address. Then the laptop can't connect. I've left the wifi password blank and I've set a password. I'm using quick set Home AP as a starting point.
Question is, what setting do I need to change?

I had really hoped that the software had matured to the point of a ready-to-use AP.
Does anyone have a configuration file that they use? Blank out the specific parts and let me know what is expected to be filled in.

I can ping the internet from bridge1 and ether1 but not wan1.
Under the menu item
Bridge - Ports
Wan1 is a disabled port?

Please provide a network diagram so we know what equipment is involved and the ISP etc...........
Also require a full export of the MT device
/export ( minus any public WANIP information and the serial number )

The RBMetal2SHPn is connected to the router. And the router is connected to the fiber optic modem.

No idea what an MT device is?
