I'm trying to connect my Netgear R7800 to another WiFi network to share the connection through LAN. I tried to do this by using this guide: [OpenWrt Wiki] Connect to client Wi-Fi network
I followed the guide until the firewall part (This step should not be necessary....) I guess that should be it, but it isn't working. What can I share here to figure out what I did wrong?
I have 3 screenshots, maybe those say something. Otherwise, let me know what I can share.
The lan and wwan interfaces have IP addresses in the same subnet, which breaks the routing process. Change the LAN IP to something that doesn't overlap, like 192.168.10.1/24.
The firewall must be active and the wwan interface must be assigned to the wan firewall zone due to the masquerading requirement. It looks correct based on the screenshot you posted.
Yes that IP conflict will prevent anything being routed to the Internet.
Also -89 dBm is a signal strength too low to be usable. There will be many lost packets and dropped connections. Get your router a better RF location (fewer obstructions and/or closer to the AP.)
