Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2022 17:20 Post subject: No internet through Client Bridge
I just recently purchased a Netgear R6700, updated it to DD-WRT and set it up using the guides. I'm able to access the device on my local network, and the device is able to do an internet speed test, however, any devices connected to the LAN ports do not connect to the internet - even if their DNS is manually set.
I've tried the router setup both ways, with the local DNS all zeroes, or with the local DNS being my primary router - it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Firewall is fully disabled.
I read through various forum posts of using having similar issues but none of the solutions for those seemed to help in my case.
And there's other screenshots... also, Broadcom doesn't support mesh, but perhaps MediaTek does. If you have a v2, then this thread needs to be moved to Ralink forum and you need to use the Client Bridged (non-Broadcom) wiki. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

It's a v3.
As mentioned in the original post, I've tried it both ways - with the DNS being 0.0.0.0 and with it being set to my primary router. No change.

Filter multicast should still be checked on the Security -> Firewall page; however, there is an anomaly that the check in the box disappears on newer releases. So, you have to check that it is still "checked" via telnet/ssh:
Code:
nvram show | grep block_multicast
If it is set to 0, then you need to set it to 1
Code:
nvram set block_multicast=1
nvram commit
reboot
Outside of that, I don't think Broadcom has a gateway input on the wireless interface that is set as Client Bridge, but that is the *only* other thing I can think of to check. There's others running CB on Broadcom ARM that should be able to further troubleshoot with you. But again, all applicable screenshots would help _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

SSH Management is disabled and greyed out.
I've supplied screenshots of everything I've been asked to. Is there something else you need to see?

What is enabled on the Services -> Services tab? The Administration -> Management tab does not apply here
You should consider reading through the onboard help files in the firmware and click through the entire webUI... since it's quite apparent that you're not familiar with this firmware. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Not sure where you get that impression. I've actually used this firmware off-and-on for years. It has, however changed a little bit since I used it back in the day.
Looking at the KB was my first step. My second step was browsing through a dozen similar posts and attempting suggested troubleshooting for their issues.
dnsmasq won't disable. Sounds like that's likely my issue there. Any ideas on how to disable it? I've tried disabling it several times already and it keeps turning itself back on.
