lol configuring an openwrt router is tricky... i got my dual essid setup replicated from the old router (one wpa2, another unsecured with mac whitelist for older devices that can't use wpa2) talking fine to my fiber modem and i can connect to the internet from it now

buuuuut ...... i can't access the router config itself from wifi now hahah

but i'm so happy to find out that this router does dual essid with a single radio.... i really like having such setup, it helps with older stuff like wii and psp

i think lan just isn't talking to each other at all?? cant find my local server there which should be taking 192.168.1.64

or the server just didn't bother retrying ethernet and now i have to reboot it?? idk

ok so the server can be seen if i connect by cable to lan but not by wifi

both access points are set to use interfaces wan and lan, wan seems to be working fine since i can browse the internet from it, but nothing on lan shows up

what's the deal here/where in the openwrt wiki should i look to fix this?

aha i think i did it :P just disable wan from wifi, because what was happening was wifi devices would actually get patched through to the wan zone instead of lan, which is odd but caused lan and wan devices not to talk to eachother

now wifi devices are going to lan and getting internet access properly :3 hopefully that solved everything
