Flint 3 - Static IP on Access Point mode

Router
1

Hi,

I am looking for a way to set a Static IP address for my Flint 3 operating in Access Point mode. The option of a static IP address disappears when switching from Router to Access Point Mode.

well i think luci should be able to do it "advances settings" >login>network>interfaces>pick the interface you want and edit. change protocol to static & fill in the blanks.

But! Luci has been super weird on the flint 3, not saving stuff, so i generally config everything via ssh with UCI or the config file /etc/config/network

Option #1
Once logged in via ssh, run these commands 1 by 1 but change what you want to configure to work for your needs.

uci set network.lan.proto='static'
uci set network.lan.ipaddr='192.168.1.2'
uci set network.lan.netmask='255.255.255.0'
uci set network.lan.gateway='192.168.1.1'
uci set network.lan.dns='192.168.1.1'
uci delete network.lan.ipaddr_old 2>/dev/null
uci commit network
/etc/init.d/network reload

Option #2
edit /etc/config/network using vi or nano. Use nano-plus if you're not techy, install via the software package on either luci or plugins.

nano /etc/config/network

find the below

config interface 'lan'
	option device 'br-lan'
	option proto 'dhcp'
	option ipaddr_old '192.168.8.1'
	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option ip6assign '60'
	option isolate '0'
	option multicast_querier '0'
	option igmp_snooping '0'

to

config interface 'lan'
	option device 'br-lan'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '192.168.1.2'
	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option gateway '192.168.1.1'
	list dns '192.168.1.1'
	option ip6assign '60'
	option isolate '0'
	option multicast_querier '0'
	option igmp_snooping '0'

hold Ctrl + O to save.
hold Ctrl + X to exit.
reboot

... but first, opkg update && opkg install nano.

one question came up, when I logged into my Flint 3 using SSH (option 2) at the end of
config interface 'lan'
was
option classlessroute '0'

it does not appear in your instructions. Is it needed or can it be deleted? I left it in but I doubt it is needed as it seems to relate to a DHCP configuration.

its safe to remove but probably fine to keep in too as its off, unless your doing some dnsmasq static routes and need it to be on.
