Can anyone confirm the functionality (and potentially build/device(s)) to have a router which is
Connecting as a wifi client (routing not bridging) to another AP
Accepting a DHCP address IP from the ap (example.10.5.5.2)
ADDITIONALLY connecting to additional/several other APs in the same way, WITH THE SAME subnet addresses.
Allowing NAT/PAT routing between local, and ALL connected APs, which each assigned addresses from same Subnet.
AS IN: (local router is 10.1.1.1, which is assigned 10.5.5.x from each AP)
10.1.1.1:5541 > ap1:10.5.5.100:8554
10.1.1.1:5542 > ap2:10.5.5.100:8554
10.1.1.1:5543 > ap3:10.5.5.100:8554
10.1.1.1:5544 > ap4:10.5.5.100:8554
Seems like a not so difficult variant or hack of vlan'ing/routing, but an outbound nat/pat rule would probably have to bind to a vlan number and destination IP address, and route/default route looping safeguards would need to be disabled or modified to include vlan definition.
PS, My most common/available routers are Asus rt-ac68u's
Thank you!
