Search for the station interface and change it from dhcp to a static IP in order to be able to use it as the gateway in the LAN segment it belongs to. I.e.: | |||
config interface 'wan2' | |||
option proto 'static' | |||
option backup '0' | |||
option ifname 'wlan0' | |||
option ipaddr '192.168.2.254' | |||
option netmask '255.255.255.0' | |||
option enabled '1' | |||
option disabled '0' | |||
option metric '10' | |||
===/etc/config/firewall === | |||
