[Tutorial] Linksys WRT3200ACM - FreeBox V8 Bridge

Hi,

This tutorial is to get the French provider FREE using a Freebox POP properly connected as bridge to the Linksys WRT3200ACM router.
I struggled a while before getting the TV (Freebox Player) working as it requires to have IPV6 in SLAAC mode enabled.
Not expert in networking, I found informations here and there.
So here my notes that might help others.

Freebox Setup

1) FreeBox in Bridge mode

2) Set FreeBox IPV6 settings

  • To find ‘Next Hop’ IPV6 IP’s:
    Connect to the OpenWRT Router by Telnet (Putty)
    image

  • Use command ifconfig to retrieve all interfaces data

  • Scroll to find the proper interfaces and get the inet6 addr: IPV6 … it should end with Scope:Link

  • Each interface should have a Scope:Link IP

LinkSys WRT 3200 ACM Router setup

As stated at the beginning of this thread, I'm not a network expert... so if you see something weird on these settings then please correct me.

Thanks & have fun!

Merci Sebastien,
if you moved to OpenWRT 21.02, would you mind post an update? I am unable to set the VLAN correctly to watch tv on kodi using IPTV and the rtsp module :frowning:

Any update?

Sorry no update...
I'm stil on 19.07.7 and have no plan yet to upgrade.
Too much other priorities before I create other issues in my network.

Sebastien
