Dear, We would like to evaluate WizFi630S module as a (Ethernet) cable replacement. So we have ‘Network Device’ that is currently connected by LAN/Ethernet cable to network switch. We would like to replace the cable by a wireless connection. From the manual it is not clear to me if this is possible? Can someone confirm this is possible? Please refer to the picture below for the required setup.

All devices have static IP. The WizFi630S modules are clients to the access point and shall not have IP address themselves. They should act as a pass through for the Ethernet network traffic of the ‘Network Devices’. Thanks in advance and best regards! 3sLLorez ## Replies ### Reply 1 by wizdaniel, 2020-03-02 Hi I tested the function that you wanted. and I found out how to set the module to run that function. I set up the module and did ping test. 1. ping test from a laptop to network device. 2. ping test from network device to laptop 3. ping test from network device to google and the result of above tests worked well.

Above connection I tested allow Network Device to have two subnet. However, the Network device can use the subnet of the AP instead of WizFi630S’s subnet. please refer to the image and description in the following link. ### Reply 2 by Tommy, 2020-03-03 Hi Daniel Could you share your settings for this. I’ve yet been successful at reproducing your results. I’m aware that I might have to change SSID’s and such. BR Tommy ### Reply 3 by wizdaniel, 2020-03-04 (in reply to reply 2) OK, Tommy this is setting parameters that I tested. first of all, you should install ‘relayd’ package into the module. ``` $ opkg update $ opkg install relayd $ /etc/init.d/relayd enable ``` 1. /etc/config/network - add configuration ``` config interface 'repeater_bridge' option proto 'relay' option network 'lan wwan' ``` - change ip address of lan interface to different subnet. below subnet of this configuration is ‘192.168.2.1’. but your network device should have a IP of AP’s subnet like ‘192.168.1.2’ ``` config interface 'lan' option type 'bridge' option proto 'static' option netmask '255.255.255.0' option ip6assign '60' option ipaddr '192.168.2.1' <<< here option ifname 'eth0.1' ``` 1. /etc/config/wireless - enable wifi station interface and set information about AP ``` config wifi-iface 'sta' option device 'radio0' option mode 'sta' option ifname 'apcli0' option encryption 'psk2' option ssid 'MySSID' <<< here option key 'MyPassword' <<< here option network 'wwan' option disabled '0' <<< here ``` 1. /etc/config/firewall - accept forwarding packet of lan interface. ``` config zone option name 'lan' option input 'ACCEPT' option output 'ACCEPT' option forward 'ACCEPT' <<< here option network 'lan repeater_bridge wwan' <<< here ``` 1. /etc/config/dhcp - disable(ignore) dhcp server function of lan interface ``` config dhcp 'lan' option interface 'lan' option dhcpv6 'server' option ra 'server' option ignore '1' <<< here option ra_management '1' ``` 1. save configuration ``` $ uci commit $ reboot ``` ### Reply 4 by Tommy, 2020-03-05 Thanks Daniel In the user manual you have a mode described as AP Client Mode[Multi Bridge Mode]. This mode was used in old wizfi630 cards to give exactly the relayd functionality. Togheter with a second card in AP mode one would have a “transparent” non-NAT/WAN network across LAN and WiFi. Shouldn’t this AP Client Mode[Multi Bridge Mode] be supported without installing relayd? /Tommy ### Reply 5 by wizdaniel, 2020-03-06 (in reply to reply 4) Hi Tommy The WizFi630, old one, was built with custom Firmware from us. however the WizFi630S, new one, is based on OpenWrt embedded linux. because of extensibility and reliability. I think there are many way to set up. and one of the ways is using relayd. I searched about that on online. may be you can configure a WizFi630S as a bridge mode without relayd. ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/forum_uploads/wiznet/original/2X/8/8231527fdc23ca748775899fa9ec005a4b441d85.png) [OpenWrt Wiki – 20 Jul 10](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/bridgedap) ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/forum_uploads/wiznet/original/2X/8/87eb64918c8e5ea413f457c96b8e13f69b0ca89b.png) ### [Bridged AP](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/bridgedap) Bridged AP Bridged AP is to extend your existing wired host router to have wireless capabilities.
