Can't change the network ip address

Open justin-mottier opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

I'm trying to set a custom network address, but unfortunately it never changes.

I'm running the access point using this command: sudo ./lnxrouter --ap ap@wlan0 MyAccessPoint -p MyPassPhrase -g 10.10.10.10

When I look at my ip address, I have this:

4: ap@wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:5f:01:5c:51:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.4.1/24 brd 192.168.4.255 scope global ap@wlan0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet 10.10.10.10/24 brd 10.10.10.255 scope global ap@wlan0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

The first one never changes, regardless of what I give in -g or even if i set -g.

I can ping 10.10.10.10 from the host itself, but not from a connected client.

Concerning the clients, they got an a dress in 192.168.4.0 too:

3: wlp59s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether a8:7e:ea:30:ad:09 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.4.49/24 brd 192.168.4.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp59s0
       valid_lft 3597sec preferred_lft 3597sec
    inet6 fe80::30ce:702d:cbdf:a5cb/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
