Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2018 6:09 Post subject: Client Bridge + Separate Isolated LANs with Shared WAN
I have a Netgear R6400 running v3.0-r35030M kongac (02/19/1
I get my internet from a landlord who gives me access to his wireless AP.
I'd like to configure my router to setup a private LAN and WLAN that's isolated from the landlord, but still allows internet access to the isolated LAN.
So far I've done this:
0) Setup the router on the landlords subnet (192.168.1.42)
1) Setup the 5GHz radio (eth1) in Client Bridge Mode (including setting Operating Mode to Router, disabling DHCP and SPI firewall)
2) Setup the 2.4GHz radio (eth2) in AP mode.
3) Edited bridge (br0) to link eth1, vlan1 (my router's WAN port, so I can still get access to my landlord's LAN if needed)
4) Created a bridge (br1,192.168.42.1) to link eth2, vlan2 (4 switch ports)
5)Setup DHCPD for br1 for the 192.168.42.x clients
So far:
I can connect to the WAN port and get internet access and I'm assigned an IP on the 192.168.1.x subnet
I can connect to the Switch ports, and my new AP, and I'm assigned an IP on the 192.168.42.x subnet - But - There is no internet connection. - What's also weird is that I can still access the router configuration at 192.168.1.42 but that shouldn't be possible with what I'm trying to do.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not sure if I'm making a mistake in the configuration, or is there another method I should be using?
Alternatively leave router in gateway mode and use Client instead of Client Bridge
This broke the internet connection on the bridged switch ports that had been working and did not allow for the AP connected users to access the internet.

Did you enter a static route to 192.168.42.0 on your landlord's router?
How should I set these options (see attachment) on the WAN connected router?
