Wired Bridge configuration

Post by shuubz »

The goal is to convert the router to wired AP mode only: firewall off, bridging from WiFi via wired to the existing wired network, and forwarding DHCP requests and DNS queries to the existing main router, firewall, or other infrastructure.

Providing a/b/g/n bridging only - just WiFi, nothing else. Have Buffalo, TP-Link, Cisco equipment.

This is a (relatively) straightforward, gui-based config process for dd-wrt, but I'm trying to standardize on Gargoyle.

The only docs I found for this in Gargoyle/OpenWRT are involved and command-line only. The settings also seem unlikely to persist across version updates.

What am I missing? Is this functionality planned for some future time?

One way to do this is to just plug an internal wired interface of router A to router B's lan interface (or use a switch), then on router A disable DHCP server, just do wifi binding.

Works for me.
