Impossible to choose a static IP when enabling the Wireless Bridge mode ?

Post by arcadiabay »

Hello,
just wanted to know if it's possible to define a static IP when enabling the Wireless Bridge mode ? I followed the steps defined on the wiki, bridge_repeater category

Everything is OK : My gargoyle router is connecting fine to my Wifi AP. I have a connection to Internet by the RJ45 port. But the interface in Gargoyle does not have a field to indicate a static IP (or maybe i didn't notice where...). I thought it was a limitation of this mode but when comparing to another "simple" router (Zyxel NBG6515) this option is available

PS : I use Gargoyle on a TP-Link TL-WR902AC

No there isn’t, Gargoyle takes it as DHCP from the upstream AP.
In theory you could modify the wwan network config from dhcp to static, however I have never tried it.
It would be more usual to set the static ip from the upstream AP
