While the fiber modem does have an WLAN AP, it directly connects to the outside network of our house
Wait, what? That just seems wrong.
I agree (as it's not what I'd prefer). But it is correct. My 'modem' is only a bridge (i.e., invisible), and any device gets a fully valid IP address. This is how it works with my provider (bredbandsbolaget, Stockholm). And that was (one of) the reason(s) to put my private network behind my own gateway.
You sure you have things plugged into the right ports? You didn't mention the brand of fiber modem, or if you have access to its control panel.
It only has a power button, a WLAN on/off button, and the phone jack output (for IP telephony). If I didn't need the latter I could directly go without it.
Are you sure its "outside" and not just on a separate subnet?
Well, in my case, yes. The inside net is my own 192.168 subnet, outside is some 85.228 address. When I only connect via the modem, all address there are indeed within a logical subnet. But still device-to-device performance was really bad (streaming HD movie from my computer to TV produced hickups....).
I do this with a variety of bog standard wifi router/access points, but I know nothing about the shuttle.
Well, it is just a small fanless computer that I use as gateway that happens to have a (Realtek) WiFi that I have no other use for than making an access point of it ;^>
My modem feeds ONLY my opensuse gateway machine which runs a dhcp server (and other stuff) and also does routing via iptables
Same here.
I turn off dhcp server in the AP.
Yes, yours is a router, not a bridge as mine. DHCP in my case is done somewhere in the cellar of the building (or even further away) - I have no access to this... Thanks, Pit -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
