I recently purchased a GL-AR150 router that shall work as WLAN Access Point. WAN port is not connected.
On openwrt I read that for a dumb access point the firewall can / should be disabled. However as the WAN port is not connected I would expect to let the firewall activated. Any hints for this?
Furthermore I stumbled upon the script firewall_gl. What is it’s purpose? Can it be disabled?
I want the devices connected to the GL-AR150-WLAN to share my home network. That is why I’m using the GL-AR150 as bridge between LAN and WLAN. DHCP is disabled in the GL-AR150 and it’s working fine so far. DHCP, internet access and all the other stuff is done by the main router.
Would you suggest another configuration?
firewall_gl: Sorry, I should have been more precise: I saw it’s opening the port for WAN access but also another port 6911 for bit torrent(?). I’m just interested in what the latter is needed for.
