Hi all
Recently acquired an EAP120. Worked with the stock firmware, but I wanted to try OpenWrt.
I installed it fine and set it up as an access point per this guide: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dumbap
It worked, but there's no internet. I can't see it in the device list of my Netgear DM200, and I can only access LuCI by connecting directly to the router (it won't work connected to my switch).
Any ideas?
Thanks.
There may not be enough info to diagnose here, but first:
If you're configuring as a dumb AP, you must have a cable connecting the LAN port on your main router going to the LAN port on the dumb AP. If you connected it to the OpenWrt WAN port, the dumb AP functions won't work.
In addition, if you want to access the OpenWrt dumb AP, the LAN network must be the same as the main router -- you can manually assign the IP as long as it is not in the main router's DHCP range and is not otherwise being used. If the OpenWrt device itself needs internet access, be sure to set the system DNS and gateway consistent with your main network (this is not required for the dumb AP to work in general).
If this doesn't solve your issue, please post the contents of these files:
/etc/config/network
/etc/config/wireless (you can obscure the passwords)
and also please let us know what the IP address (or network definition) is for your main router/LAN.
Thank you for the quick response.
My router and AP only have one ethernet port on them. I connected the port on the router to the one on the AP, but this meant I can't access my router's GUI, only the APs.
My router is 192.168.5.1 and I configured it to be 192.168.5.5. I didn't change any DNS settings, but i set the gateway to be my router's IP.
Make sure that the ap has the Ethernet port configured as a lan port, not wan.
More than likely you’ve got the Ethernet port configured as a wan.
Please post the files I requested earlier as well as one more:

Will do when I am home.

only changes i made were enabling wifi and pointing it at my router's gateway.
Thanks for posting your files.
Try this: Change the IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.5
I had it like that earlier, but for some reason when I do it now I can't access LuCI or connect via SSH. I'll try again though.
update, tried it, same result 
i'll try it again without turning DHCP off like the guide said
Successfully changed the IP address, but that makes no difference. I can't load LuCI from the wifi connection, either.
What's the IP address of the router? Is it 192.168.5.1?
Can you ping an outside IP (e.g. 8.8.8.8) form your AP OpenWrt GUI interface or SSH? This could help to eliminate DNS issues.
And, most importantly, can you ping the router from the AP?
Out of curiosity, what IP does your PC get if you were to connect the PC to the LAN port of the DM200?
Yes, the router is 192.168.5.1.
No, I can't ping any IP address nor the router from the AP.
I got 192.168.5.113 when I connected my laptop to the router directly.
What version of OpenWrt are you running? Did you manually edit the firewall file?
I don't know if it makes any difference or not, but you have in your firewall, for instance
config zone
option name lan
list network 'lan'
option input ACCEPT
option output ACCEPT
option forward ACCEPT
While mine, on 18.06.01 says:
config zone
option name 'lan'
option input 'ACCEPT'
option output 'ACCEPT'
option forward 'ACCEPT'
option network 'lan'
I don't know if the syntax changed between versions or if it doesn't make difference (I'm not a Linux guy), but you could try that.
Could you post a screenshot of your http://192.168.5.5/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/network
(you may mask your MAC address)
Did you do anything on the VLAN?
http://192.168.5.5/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/vlan. A screen shot would be good.
I just get a 404 when I try to access that.
