About to dip my toe back into the openwrt world, had enough of my terrible virgin router and want a basic reliable set up… so from reading I think a pair of flint 2s will do what I want nicely.
One will be a router, the other just a wireless access point with an ethernet backhaul.
I'm trying to remember my way round the build system, but I might cheat and use the community build as at least I know that'll work 
but that's questions for another day lol…
Want I want to know is, what do I need to do to set up the access point, I assume I need to give it a fixed IP address from the main router, then turn the AP routers DHCP off, set up wireless with matching ssid to the main router.
Do I need to disable the firewall on the AP router? What about the radio channels, do they need to match the main router or will that cause interference? Would I be better go either ends of the range.
What's needed for this fast switch roaming Ive seen mentioned? Is it something I need to install on both routers?
Thanks everyone, it is much appreciated.
