I bought a BPi R2 with the intention of replacing my Netgear router. No, there’s nothing wrong with my Netgear router, aside from the factory firmware sucks. While using alternative firmware is better, the wifi hardware just doesn’t work due to lack of drivers. My wife is getting irritated with the amount of time it is taking me to get my new “custom” router up and running.
I have Frank’s Debian 10 upgraded to kernel 5.9.3. I saw this post and tried to follow the conversation, but am completely lost because no dhcp addresses seem to get assigned when I try the configuration (or variations thereof). I plainly don’t know enough to get it running correctly, but am willing to learn! Been using Ubuntu for a few years, so I have some experience with Linux…
Can someone help me create a working network configuration like an out-of-box retail router would come? I have a MT7615 that I need to create internet-accessible access points for (a 2.4GHz AP, 5 GHz AP and maybe some guest APs?), and an IoT access point using the onboard wifi working that should not connect to the internet. I’d appreciate the assistance!
