OWRT 192.168.1.254
Router 192.168.1.1
Client PC connected to OWRT 192.168.1.253
My OWRT is a Asus AC1300. I have a verizon router/modem combo that does DHCP and Wi-Fi. I followed instructions in LuCl. It shows the OWRT as connected to the router in “associated stations”
Client "Fios-YU0EN-5G" (wlan1)
but can't ping the router in diagnostics.
which interface should I assign the wireless connection when adding it, because by default it creates interface WWAN? should I bridge it to LAN and also assign it to the LAN firewall rule?
Different vendor's versions of WDS usually do not interoperate. OpenWrt WDS can only be certain to work if it is OpenWrt on both ends.
If the WDS is up, brctl show should show a wlanX interface has been created and added to the br-lan bridge. You do not need to manually define an interface or change anything in the firewall since a bridge operates at layer 2, while the firewall is layer 3.
Also you can use iwinfo wlanX as to see if the wifi is connected. Though a connection doesn't mean that data will pass.
