no internet connectivity for a second router

[afennani]

My ultimate goal is to have 2 esp32 acting as range extender for my home wifi.

HOME ROUTER <===(802.11 bgn)===> Gateway (esp32)<==(LR mode)==>SPOT-1(esp32)<=== esp32 iot devices let's ignore the LR mode for now.

• 1 esp32 as Gateway: connect to my router and exposes AP (Gateway) ==> when i connect to the Gateway: i have internet and everything is working just fine
• if i setup a second esp32 (let s call it SPOT-1): i configure it to connect to Gateway as station And Exposes an AP called SPOT-1, i can see it gets the right configuration.
• my laptop can connect to SPOT-1 but i can't get internet there. even though i m getting the dns from my home router
• i tried to change the ip addresses (Gateway on 192.168.4.1, and SPOT-1 on 192.168.5.1) with no luck
• am i missing something?

Where did you change the IP address? Here as well? https://github.com/martin-ger/esp32_nat_router/blob/master/main/esp32_nat_router.c#L505 Think, this should do the job...

Added a new command on the serial console: "set_ap_ip [addr]". With this you can modify the IP of the ESP's AP.

thanks for the change. it will help for sure. but my problem is not the ip itself. i had 2 builds before (one with 192.168.4.1 and the other with 192.168.5.1). all the ip addresses are fine it s just when i connect the Gateway AP i have internet. but when i connect to SPOT-1 (which is connected to Gateway), i don't have internet access and i can't contact the gateway
