Trying to create a simple admin backup wifi but can't get LUCI to show up

thickums_mcgillicudy · December 23, 2022, 5:01pm

So I'm fiddling around with VLANs and have locked myself out multiple times and decided to setup a temporary admin network with a wifi so that I can always connect to it and undo stuff. Sometimes the auto rollback feature doesn't work when I screw up big time. I have 2 routers, this is the "dumb" ap router and I thought just setting up a bridge, interface and wifi would be enough to connect. But every time I try to go to 192.168.1.2, luci doesn't show up. I also tried changing the ipv4 address of the admin interface to something else like 192.168.3.1 but still can't get luci.

Please post the text config files here (rather than in 3rd party locations)
.

Please copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

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

cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall

But we can already see that the admin interface has the same IP as the lan interface... that will never work. They must be different subnets.

Thank you for posting the text here. Can I trouble you to post the config in the plain-text format (that is achieved with the cat commands above) -- I find it much easier to read than the UCI show syntax.

Yes, make the admin network something completely outside of all of your other networks, such as 192.168.101.1/24.
