We would like to evaluate WizFi630S module as a (Ethernet) cable replacement.
So we have ‘Network Device’ that is currently connected by LAN/Ethernet cable to network switch. We would like to replace the cable by a wireless connection. From the manual it is not clear to me if this is possible? Can someone confirm this is possible?
Please refer to the picture below for the required setup.
The network does not use DHCP. All devices have static IP.
The WizFi630S modules are clients to the access point and shall not have IP address themselves. They should act as a pass through for the Ethernet network traffic of the ‘Network Devices’.
It is a bad news that the WizFi630S has a IP address(192.168.1.100). because WizFi630S have to connect to AP using Client Mode.
but you don’t have to worry about the IP of Client mode.
Above connection I tested allow Network Device to have two subnet.
However, the Network device can use the subnet of the AP instead of WizFi630S’s subnet.
config interface 'repeater_bridge'
option proto 'relay'
option network 'lan wwan'
change ip address of lan interface to different subnet.
below subnet of this configuration is ‘192.168.2.1’. but your network device should have a IP of AP’s subnet like ‘192.168.1.2’
config interface 'lan'
option type 'bridge'
option proto 'static'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ip6assign '60'
option ipaddr '192.168.2.1' <<< here
option ifname 'eth0.1'
/etc/config/wireless
enable wifi station interface and set information about AP
In the user manual you have a mode described as AP Client Mode[Multi Bridge Mode]. This mode was used in old wizfi630 cards to give exactly the relayd functionality. Togheter with a second card in AP mode one would have a “transparent” non-NAT/WAN network across LAN and WiFi.
Shouldn’t this AP Client Mode[Multi Bridge Mode] be supported without installing relayd?
The WizFi630, old one, was built with custom Firmware from us.
however the WizFi630S, new one, is based on OpenWrt embedded linux. because of extensibility and reliability.
I think there are many way to set up.
and one of the ways is using relayd.
I searched about that on online.
may be you can configure a WizFi630S as a bridge mode without relayd.
192.168.1.1 is a local IP address that is used to access the admin panel. 192.168.l.l is set by routers and modem company as the default gateway to access the Admin Panel of the router from where you can change default settings of your router including LAN, WLAN, Proxy, DSL, and different settings. 192.168.2.1
