Wireless Bridge wlan0 static IP

Post by ovrlndr »

Hi, I've got my router setup as a wifi bridge to server an SMB disk backup share in my garage, and it works very nicely thank you very much :)

However, my crappy ISP provided Arris router does not support DHCP IP reservations, so my Gargoyle's wifi IP changes if we loose power or have maintenance.

If there a way to set a static IP for the wifi connections when in Wireless Bridge/Repeater mode?

Thank you :)

On the command line, you can try setting the wan ip, but the upstream router is not obliged to grant the request.

Code: Select all

uci set network.wan.ipaddr='192.168.1.100'
uci commit
