Need Help Creating Isolated Network (OpenWrt)
Looking for help setting up an isolated network within my apartment complex's network. I have a Linksys router running OpenWrt, with the ethernet connection from my aprtment running to the uplink port on the router. When I SSH into the router, it has WAN access, but none of the LAN devices connected to it (by ethernet or wireless) do. Anyone have any experience with this?
You're viewing a single thread.
Off the top of my head, this is low hanging fruit:
- Verify your LAN devices are pulling dhcp or alternatively put a static IP on one of them
- Verify the/a correct default gateway is set on the LAN side (should be the internal IP of your router)
- Verify DNS (ping 1.1.1.1 from a LAN device, if you can, then make sure you've configured DNS servers for the LAN side within the router)
Yep ran all this.
- Did both of these
- It is
- Tried will all LAN devices. Router itself can ping 1.1.1.1 (and 8.8.8.8) but none of the LAN devices can reach the internet.
One other thing I forgot is to verify a LAN device can ping the router IP, but I'm guessing you've already verified that. This is starting to sound like a FW issue
It's been years since I setup my openwrt router, but here is some advice verifying your FW config
tl;dr Your WAN interface may be defined as 'wan' in your FW rules, since 'WAN' != 'wan' - correcting the case may solve the issue
