Hey guys,
So last night I turned an computer turned server into a router. I dropped a spare PCIE 2 port Ethernet card in and brought the total up to a small but working 3 Ethernet ports. So basically I originally was going to use the router as a router and AP, but my networking card (TP-LINK WDN4800) seems to have randomly died on me. So instead I used an old router I had flashed with DD-WRT as an AP. I am quite sure this old router is limiting my routers capabilities so I will be purchasing a real AP soon. (Any suggestions? I generally have ~15-20 devices on my network with at least 1-3 people streaming and even more people on youtube. Thanks)
Tomorrow, I have an 100ft Ethernet cable arriving that I plan to run from my PC to the pfsense router. However, I seemed to have the AP working fine (Have DHCP running through the router, not AP) so I can connect wirelessly, but for some reason none of the ethernet ports on the router are allowing me to access the network through ethernet. Strange.
So essentially I have 1 port on the motherboard (Occupied by the AP) and two ports on the Ethernet card (one occupied by modem, and one open).
Even with switching the cables around, I cant seem to get the Ethernet to work.
Here is my Interfaces, my WAN setup, and my LAN setup, Routing, DHCP Gateway
Also, I cannot seem to access my DD-WRT AP control panel any longer. In the DD-WRT settings, I changed the default gateway to 192.168.1.2 (with the pfsense router gateway being 192.168.1.1) Any thoughts?
Thanks guys.
