Multiple IPS

Post by chickenandbeans »

Hi guys,

I'm new to the openWRT world and i'm trying to do the following:

The WAN port gets an IP via dhcp. lets say 192.168.3.19.

Now I want to set the WIRELESS ip to say 10.0.0.3 and have clients that connect to it receive a dhcp address from this subnet.

Is this possible to do via the web interface?

The answer to the question that you ask -- whether wireless clients can be on a different subnet than the WAN -- is yes. In fact, at the moment, this is required. The LAN & WAN should be in separate subnets.

However, I suspect the question you may have intended to ask is whether the wired LAN interfaces and the wireless interface can be on separate subnets. Currently, gargoyle does not support this configuration. The wireless & LAN ports are bridged. This configuration is possible, however, if you want to get your hands dirty and configure OpenWrt manually.

Allowing a separate subnet for the wireless interface is certainly a feature I have considered including in Gargoyle, but several other issues have priority right now (in particular wireless bridging and wireless survey are at the top of my list).
