Static IP lease config in /etc/config/dhcp works only for wired

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a static IP for a couple of devices.

My /etc/config/network looks like the below. For the device TV-CABLE (which is connected with a cable to the router) it assigns the 192.168.1.100 IP, and everything seems to work fine.

Device abc connects through WIFI and gets 192.168.1.223 IP. But then I go to Network -> Wireless -> associated stations in LUCI, i see this - Host: abc.lan (192.168.0.101).

My goal here is to exclude this device from OpenVPN. for TV-CABLE, this is working fine already. For abc I have internet, but the VPN website confirms that I'm still going through the VPN - it didn't apply the exclude rule since the device has a different IP than in the rule.

You cannot assign a 192.168.0.101 address on a 192.168.1.0/24 network.

Hi eduperez,

Yes, indeed - that was a very silly typo on my end. Now it works perfectly. Thanks!
