Problems setting up multiple networks in a 2x MT6000 (router + AP) envrionment

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,

Did you ever get this sorted? I'm going g nuts trying to sort the same - mt6000/main + mt6000 AP.

Im not worried about guest - just man + IOT on vlan with wireless.

I keep hitting ipleaks or failure to get an IP.

Logically I seem to have it all in place. I was under the impression these u its are great and having g two identical chipseta will help

I'm running 23.05.5 - apparently gold standard for this hardware at the mo.

VLAN setup with two GL-MT6000 (as Router + DumbAP)

I've moved your post to a new thread so that we can focus on your specific configuration.

FWIW, 24.10 works really well on the MT6000. Usually the issues that come up are purely config based.

Which network(s) experience the IP leaks and/or failure to get an IP?

Let's take a look at your configs:

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):

Remember to redact passwords, VPN keys, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:

ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall

Thank you so much for getting back to me! Genuinely, I've tried AI for help etc. This sounds soppy but humans are still good! Sincerely appreciated!

Looking at my post, I was a little naff so I will make the effort and clarify! I will revert my devices to what seemed the closest to a result and post my output as per your request shortly.

192.168.1.1 =
Main MT6000 connected to ONT via cat6.
VLAN1 = Main network - untagged+primary
VLAN10 = IoT
Wifi 2.4 = JN-D244
Wifi 5 = JN-D505
Interfaces = LAN (192.168.1.1)[VLAN.1), WAN (IP from ISP), JN_IoT (192.168.10.1)[VLAN.10]
Internet into WAN 2.5g port (1st Port on back).
--> Wired backhaul from 2nd 2.5g Port to 2nd 2.5 port on AP -->

192.168.1.2
AP MT6000 - DHCP Disabled.
VLAN1 = Main Network
VLAN10 = IoT
Wifi 2.4 = JN-D244
Wifi 2.4 = JN-H222 - (IoT) - linked to lan.10
Wifi 5 = JN-D505

I've tried using br-iot, dchp client and static. I get a mix of soft bricking, IoT connection with a 1.x IP (should be 10.x) and a sometimes no IP assigned.

I feel I am on the cusp (might be wrong!) but have been driving my family crazy with resets over the past two weeks!

Thank you!

Thanks again, if I've done this wrong/awkwardly please say and I will redo.

First things first...

You should upgrade to 24.10 since 23.05 is EOL. The hardware works very well with 24.10, so there is no reason to avoid the upgrade.

Moving on...

Remove the VLAN filtering line above.

Then, in the section below, edit the lan interface to use br-lan.1 (instead of br-lan):

On the AP, it is similar...

Delete the last line:

use device br-lan.1:

Make the jn_iot network on the AP unmanaged:

It should look like this:

config interface 'jn_iot'
	option proto 'none'
	option device 'br-lan.10'

Delete all of this:

The rest of my comments are not part of the core issue, but recommendations that will improve the performance:

For each network, use the same SSID for both bands. This allows client devices that support both bands to switch between bands as needed for performance reasons. And for devices that support only 2.4GHz, this will have no impact at all. Make these changes on both the router and the AP.

Channel selection is critical (as is power):

For proper roaming, the radios should be set such that they use different, non-overlapping channels. It is also best to reduce the power on each radio such that you reduce the size of the area it covers to the minimum required, thus also reducing the overlap. This encourages the client to roam between APs. Obviously the encryption type and passphrase need to be the same for all APs on a per-SSID basis.

Don't use mixed mode as it can cause problems. Select either wpa2 (psk2) or wpa3 (sae). This advice is true for all APs

Remove the force line from the DHCP server for jn_iot (this is on the main router):

Finally, you may want to adjust the firewall on the main router to prevent the forwarding from iot > lan. My preferred method to do this is the same as the firewall used in a guest network. If you want to be able to initiate connections from the lan to the IoT network, you can add a forward for it (source lan, destination iot). That said, you may want to hold off on the firewall adjustments until you have verified that the rest is working.

After making the changes recommended above, restart both MT6000 devices and test.
Don't forget to upgrade to 24.10!

Thank you. As soon as my child has finished on the TV i will update and try! Thanks so much for spending your time helping me.

Hello psherman - thank you for your help.

Updated and tried. same sort of issue I’m afraid. I will delete my Wifi channels and the VLAN.10 and rebuild them to see if that helps.

In the GUI, the interfaces for my IoT are grey. If I add a manual IP on my PC it connects fine but still has no internet connection.

Would that make a difference?

(I can re-post the outputs again if needed).

Let's see the latest config outputs as that will tell us essentially everything we need.

Thank you. Sorry if I’m being a berk!

I haven’t played with firewalls etc. as you suggested to get the main thing working first. When I was trying to set this up using the GUI, I always had to untick the “Enable VLAN filtering” box before saving otherwise it would go into the revert option. If i unticked, then saved, reticked then save+apply I used to get locked out. is this something perhaps?

Thanks again.

On the main router:

This should use device br-lan.10 (10, not 1)

Masquerading should not be enabled here:

And the iot network is no longer assigned to a firewall zone. It was previously in the lan zone. You can put it back in there for now (temporarily), but in the longer term I recommend putting it in another zone as per the guest wifi I linked to earlier.

On the AP, you have this:

remove the IPv6 and ra lines, and set the limit to 50.

And...

The current version of OpenWrt is 24.10.5. Please upgrade so you're current.

11

Thank you - I will try this in the morning. I’m UK based - its late!

Thanks again - it is appreciated. I’ve heard great things bout these devices and OpenWRT.

12

Sounds good! Keep us updated (and if it doesn't work after the latest updates, post your configs again).

13

Both sets of output appear to be from the same device (JN-Gateway-02).

14

Actually, both are there... the output got mixed together a bit, but if you read it carefully you'll be able to see each one individually.

15

Ok, I had stopped scrolling but I still don’t see the newest network config from JN-Gateway-01.

16

It took a lot of attention to find each within the output... it came down scrolling and looking for this:

(obviously those are not both referencing the same file, but generally looking at the hostname + command and then the output immediately after.)

17

Thank you - and sorry for borking the output.

I have followed your suggestions. systems back on line with no timeouts etc. but my IoT is still not getting an IP. I have a static address of 192.168.10.1 on my main router’s jn_iot and have it as unmanaged on my AP.

If I use a manual IP of 192.168.10.100, 255.255.255.0 I connect fine, but get no internet.

Here is the Output from Gateway-01 (Main) :

I updated as requested to the one you suggest (apologies I got the last one wrong). I have then gone through your suggestions and tried to put them all back in place. I have also used the LAN firewall until this works and then I will create t he iot one.

Thanks again

Starting with the router:

In this section, remove the name part... specifically everything after the config bridge-vlan on that same line (but obviously leave the other lines):

Remove the gateway line from below:

Delete the ignore line:

Now on the AP, same thing about removing the name from here:

You have the iot SSID disabled on the AP:

You can remove the jn_iot network from the firewall on the AP:

That should fix it... try it and let me know. Again, if it doesn't resolve the issues, repost the configs with the latest edits.

Yes! I’m getting a 10.x IP on the IoT lan! You absolute genius! Thank you so much! Seriously, how do you know how to do that just by looking at my config!

One last hurdle if you don’t mind - On the 10.x IoT network, I’m not getting access to the web…

Is this a small job/oversight on my part?

Thanks again - genuinely!

Glad that part is working now.

Well, the config is essentially a set of instructions... with practice, you can look at those and understand exactly what is being setup and/or if there are any errors.

I don't see any reason why not, based on the previous configs... let's take a look at the /etc/config/network and /etc/config/firewall files (hopefully just one last time).
