Hi,
I've been using a raspberry PI one as a bridge device for my printer. The printer simply doesn't have wireless and pulling a cable is way to much work. So, i've taken a raspberry pi 1 (old one), plugged in a wifi dongle and used relayd to let is act as a wifi-repeater. The configuration with relayd is such that any device connected to the NIC/Ethernet port of the raspberry acts as a normal wireless client.
This has been working well, but i must add that the raspberry pi was crappy to begin with and i'm now just fed up with rebooting it.
In comes the GL-MT300N-V2.
The device is small, cheaper than a raspberry and runs the LEDE project. Great.
I've not found out that the shell that GL-INET adds doesn't seem to allow me to configure it with relayd, so i've downloaded the 'clean' image that they provide and this gives me a LUCI 17.01 device.
I can ge to the device via wireless, but i'm unable to get the LAN ports to work. I've removed practically every interface (except for the wifi) and added a new 'LAN' port and in the physical section selected eth0. Vlan's have been disabled on the switch settings. The LAN interface is set to DHCP.
For whatever reason: the device does not perform a DHCP query and doesn't get an IP address.
What also confused me is that the interface i have for my WIFI is always in bridge mode and uses the apcli0 device as well. This seems a bit off to me and it seems like some configuration is forced.
I'm looking for help with regards to this, as i must be doing something simple wrong!
I use this GL-MT300V2 alos some others little box as NEXX WT3020
no problem in relayd mode ( my wifi network )
i can use with:
-
MT300 -> 2 * Lan printer + 1 USB Printer +minidlna , samba for HDD :
-
NEXX WT3020 ->
1 * Lan Printer + 1 USB Printer + minidlna
or a TV LG or Samsung when i use the LAN port ( TV are without wifi )
or a scanner USB ( opkg install sane …
a first time i use Putty with TTL interface for edit the files ( if ok i run afer i save the configuration with Luci )

My router is : 192.168.1.1
Wifi master is WNR3500 TOMATO ( 192.168.1.235 ) password : 1234567890 MAC adress: XX….
GL-MT300 is 192.168.1.230
My network is similar to this 
Thanks for the response!
Which version of lede/openwrt are you running?
I've just installed the snapshot and it seems very unstable. I can sometimes change things but often the device just stops responding.
I have comiled last git sources code
