OpenWRT - WISP - Manangement IP

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello everyone

In my company we want to use our previous Wifi AccessPoint by uploading OpenWrt on it, and link it to Open Wisp.

I new to both solution, and not a programmer or an Lunix expert.

So far i manage ton install the firmware, configure the wireless.radio to be enable by default, disable DHCP and Ipv6, and pur a static network configuration.

Then i add openWisp package, configure them, and see my AP appear on OpenWisp

But it seem i cannot change from Open Wisp the following ; DNS server (i change them, but the AP never apply the change), name (same as DNS), etc

I also see that my device is always on CRITICAL, and it seem the serveur cannot ping the device. It seem OpenWisp need two ip adress, one for day to day business i guess, and one « management Ip ».

But how can i configure this ip on WRT ? And will i be able to change it after in production if necessary ?

I believe all my problem came from here

Thank you both. I thought it was a WRT parameter
I change the information on my opneWisp, but then my AP test status is unknown... Not the best to manage many AP.

I'm starting to thing OpenWisp ins't as easy to install and configure as i thought.
