Hello,
I configured the network on the Banana Pi - R1 using Ubuntu 18.04. Using isc-dhcp-server, I used LAN ports in bridge mode. You can see my configuration below. However, the windows devices that I connect to via LAN port get the IP address I gave from dhcp but do not have internet access. After entering the ipconfig / release ipconfig / renew commands through the Windows command prompt and making the network connections problem several times, internet access comes. The troubleshooting process I do here sometimes isnât a solution, but after a few times the ethernet cable is plugged in and out, it can be solved. So it doesnât make sense. What do you think is wrong? How can I solve this problem?
/etc/network/interfaces
interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto = Start the interface(s) at boot.
iface = interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug - Start the interface when a âhotplugâ event is detected.
In real world, this is used on the same situations of auto but the difference is
that it will wait for an event like âplug the cableâ on ethernet interfaces.
allow-hotplug eth0
allow-hotplug wlan0
** LAN config VLAN 1, WAN port **
receive IP-Address from your Router or Cable modem
I have one more question. Can I use the device in AP mode with hostapd configuration? There are many sources on the subject but can you do? Because I couldnât.
Well, my path was built on armbian. If you try it on another path you might fail or spend a lot of time trying. Apart from that, BPi SW is known for low quality.
I guess you mean WiFi/WLAN. Well, this depends if the driver works with your kernel. I had WiFi running in the past. Some even say it works: BPI-R1 unstable? built-in WiFi
My ethernet connection often creates problems. So I decided to set up my Linksys router but I didnât,t know the process. Can anyone tell me how to access Linksys router login page and set up the router?
