Hello,

After following recipe for relayclient everything is working but the connections from LAN to bridge router.

Following image on the recipe (_detail/doc/howto/802.11-routed-relay.png):
- Every host on both APs can ping each other and connect to internet
- Any connection from LAN hosts to 'relayd' router fails, i.e. no LuCi access, no SSH, no ping from 192.168.1.40 to 192.168.1.30

Both dnsmasq and firewall are disabled

It seem as if relayd when receiving a LAN packet doesn't deliver it locally, just forwards traffic so it never gets traffic for itself.

I've been digging for google and openwrt forums without success.
What I'm doing worng?

Thanks!

are you doing your config in luci for the relay?

do you have your router ip address set to a different network than the bridged network?

If you haven't already,

opkg update
opkg install luci-proto-relay

you will now have a new protocol called relay-bridge in luci/network/interfaces

set wlan to dhcp client and configure ssid and security to the same parameters on main router.  get this join working first, then proceed. You should see this connection under network/wireless in the associated stations.

change routers IP to be on a different subnet in network/interfaces/lan (br-lan)

add a new interface choosing type relay, select the networks to relay (usually lan wlan)
disable dhcp

apply changes and wireless and wired clients should get dhcp addresses from main router and everyone should have internet

All steps followed, everibody has Internet.

The issue is that none of the hosts connected to LAN port can access the router neither on wlan IP nor relay IP, despite all of them are in the same subnet

For access only to the LAN port ( Web Configuration by exemple ) use for your computer an IP adress in the same subnet

for my configuration 192.168.2.xxx ( in normal mode 192.168.1.xxx )

network :

config interface 'loopback'
    option ifname 'lo'
    option proto 'static'
    option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
    option netmask '255.0.0.0'

    option ula_prefix 'fd6c:739e:cff3::/48' < ???

config interface 'lan'
    option type 'bridge'
    option ifname 'eth0'
    option proto 'static'
    option netmask '255.255.255.0'
    option ip6assign '60'
    option gateway '192.168.1.1'   < - my lan router
    option dns '8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1'
    option ipaddr '192.168.2.242' < lan box ip not used or only for lan access

config device 'lan_dev'
    option name 'eth0'
    option macaddr '12:34:56:78:9a:bc '  <- change for the good value
