Xiaomi MI-3, Main Router, that connected to ISP, DHCP Server is here
Xiaomi AX5 AX1800 that placed in the center of my apartment, and works in Wireless Repeater Mode (runs on WRT)
For me is important to set static IP (override DHCP) for half of the devices. Static IP assignment based on MAC address. The problem: MI-3 can't see real MAC addresses of devices connected to Wireless Repeater (AX5), each device has MAC of repeater.
Look like I should turn smth like mac repeating on AX5? Please help
And I can setup it only over ssh
This requires "WDS" mode between the AP and the repeater. If it has that option. Otherwise it's not possible (or requires a mesh mode).
If you're running OpenWrt on both ends then make the main router a WDS AP mode and second router has bridge between WDS client and a second AP mode wireless. There is a how to on the wiki. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/atheroswds
WDS, as in mac80211's 4addr, would require OpenWrt with mac80211 based mainline drivers to run on all WDS enabled APs, but the Xiaomi AX5 (ipq60xx) is not supported by OpenWrt, yet (nor will it be anytime soon - it should be supportable, but not in the immediate future).
on the next end is MI-3 with Padavan firmware and I set this settings:
i applied all settings, but DHCP looks like doesn't work -- when i connect to repeater's WiFi -- no IP assignment and i should set IP settings manually
