I have a problem with establishing a wi-fi bridge on my https://openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-ac51u. I followed the guide at https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration which seems to be working at least till the testing connection part. However, there seems to be missing part about how to actually set up a wi-fi network on the repeater. So I tried to set up an access point as usual, but when the connection is created, I can't connect to it, getting error messages such as
bind(21) AF_INET6 fe80::6b42:32ff:2b68:9197%3#123 flags 0x11 failed: Cannot assign requested address
unable to create socket on wlp3s0 (5) for fe80::6b42:32ff:2b68:9197%3#123
on my (Linux Mint) laptop and
Wed Mar 8 06:23:46 2023 daemon.notice wpa_supplicant[1255]: wlan1: Unknown event 37
in the system log of OpenWRT (22.03.2 r19803-9a599fee93).
So my questions are:
- How should I configure my access point on the bridging router (RT-AC51U)?
- How can I make sure that my relay bridge is correctly configured?
Thanks in advance
