Acess point

[SirSWE]

I cant understand how is this so complicated to set my router as an access point? Tried diffrent guides cant get it to work. Anyone have an gargoyle router as an access point? Please help.

Just an access point? No DHCP no firewall?

Connect Via: Disabled
Configure wireless
Disable DHCP if it is on.
Connect cable from upstream to any LAN port.

I suspect he/she just wants the default setting but has plugged in the cables wrong or has over complicated the configuration?

[SirSWE]

Its setup as gateway.

Internet / Wan
Connect Via: disabled
Wan Ethernet port: bridge to lan

Firewall qos disabled.

[Lantis]

So what problem are you having? Besides checking DHCP is off, That's all that is required.

No Wi-Fi?
No internet connection?

Its working now. Couldnt find clear info about it and I was frustrated because I had issues. I tried to enable it as wireless bridge/repeater but the wifi didnt show up. But it works now as ”gateway” and no dhcp and bridge to lan

Yes, here on the forum it is already mentioned somewhere. If the router is set to "Wireless Bridge/Repeater", Gargoyle AP (SSID to Broadcast) will not transmit until Gargoyle is connected to the guest AP (SSID to Join).

I found it in the documentation https://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/do ... e_repeater , but I don't know if I would understand it correctly.

I see cool thnx for your help. Just one more thing, how do I disable the firewall?
According openwrt they recommend disabling firewall, dnsmasq and odhcpd. Should I do the same? https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dumbap

Turning off daemons is not a requirement, but you can do it for sure. You can do this using commands via ssh (odhcpd IPv6 does not support Gargoyle):

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq disable
/etc/init.d/firewall stop
/etc/init.d/firewall disable
