BridgeMode possible?

Open iORichy opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi guys, I love this Router - easy, simple and just working find and it seems the range is very good. Otherwise I can extend the antenna :-)

I need to use this for my IoT project in the garden, using MQTT and Shellys. Is there a way to have the router as bridgeMode so it just forwards DHCP and the IP range. While MQTT seems to work fine behind NAT sometimes I would need direct access to the shelly interface also via NodeRED and I'm not sure if portforwarding is a relyable solution here. Thanks for your thoughts and keep working on this great product!

I found this project which as i understand from the code should perform bridging of basic protocols , enough to do arp, dhcp, tcp http and dhcp.

it misses project.mk and i did not bother to compile it though. it should be significantly faster than NAT too.
