When I do a wlan repeater with relayd, i get for the clients on the repeater an IP adress from my main router. Thats OK. But has the wlan repeater a IP adress, too? Because I want to access the luci webinterface from the repeater but i dont know, what IP i should to enter?
Or is that inpossible?
EDIT: when I used the FritzOS-Wlan-Repeater function between 2 fritzboxes, the repeater has a IP adress from my main router, too.
Just use a static IP in the same subnet.
I did it, but it doesnt work. my main router is 192.168.10.1/24 and on the repeater, I did 192.168.10.50/24. I can ping it, but I cant access the luci interface. I did nmap, too:
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-07-25 07:50 CEST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.10.50
Host is up (0.0030s latency).
All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.10.50 are closed

The repeater must have a different subnet that the main router. Nevertheless, when creating the interface, you can setup a local IPv4 address, in the same subnet that your main router.
Ok ...
My repeater is 192.168.1.1/24. I connected to my main router with 192.168.10.1/24. The repeater wwan interface becomes the IP 192.168.10.109 from my main router. In my main router, I can see the IP 192.168.10.109. Where I have to set the static IP?
The reason is, on my repeater is a USB Storage, that I want to access, too ( NFS ).
Ah, I think the WAN firewall have set to accept, accept, accept. Then I can get the access to luci on the repeater.
