Using WLAN1 as WAN - no internet in bridge or any other ETH port

Sun Apr 02, 2023 3:42 pm

Hello,

What I want to reach, from the first look, quite simple network configuration, but I must be missing some thick box or whatever to make it work. My plan is to use my hAP ac2 as wireless ap bridge for my ETH ports, so I have reseted it, applied default configuration with defaut DHCP settings, changed my WAN port to WLAN1 port, changed masquarade rule interface to WLAN1, changed DHCP client interface to WLAN1, removed WLAN1 from bridge, added ETH1 to bridge. Looks quite simple, but it doesn`t work. WLAN1 interface have internet, but other ports dont. Clients under ETH ports can have their own dhcp pool, it doesn`t really matter for me if they get IP from DHCP client too. Attaching my configuration.

What happens if you put wlan interface in mode station ?

As it happens to be, just saw another thread with similar issues.
These instructions where referred to (they are pretty good, if you follow them)

If I put it in station mode, nothing changes, I already have tried different types like station, station bridge, station pseudobridge - none of them helps. Also, reseted router again and followed the tutorial you sent me and guess what - it doesn`t work either :)

Can you even confirm that you are connecting to your wireless source and getting a WANIP??

Yes, and i can ping 8.8.8.8 if I select WLAN1 as source, even can not choose source - it`s working, but if I choose source any ETH - it doesn`t

Strange ....

How to choose an ethernet interface? They are all slave interfaces to the bridge. (They even have no IP address!)

I suspect the DHCP lease information received by the DHCP client.
Is default route and DNS set correctly by that DHCP server on WLAN1 ???

Use "station" , not "station-pseudobridge" ! For "station-pseudobridge" you intent to use the DHCP range of the DHCP server facing WLAN1, and then have WLAN1 also connected to the bridge, and no local DHCP server.

first of all,

- Which kind of device are you trying to connect to via WLAN1 in wireless? And what IP do you get on the WAN side?
- Set mode from station-pseudobridge to station
- it's not that it is going to make any difference but:
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat comment="defconf: masquerade" \
 ipsec-policy=out,none out-interface=wlan1 out-interface-list=WAN
why do you set out-interface=wlan1 out-interface-list=WAN? One of two would be ok already

- Did you make sure that your LAN client gets an ip address in the rage 192.168.88.10-192.168.88.254?

- I can't see any DNS setup on your LAN. - Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from a client in your LAN at least?
