I don't have any Wifi 5G at home at the moment, but came across a Voyager supplied Huawei DG8245V-10 which does have 5G wifi. So thought I'd use that as an addtional Wifi AP along with my current Wifi solution.... but for life of me cannot get it to work.

My local LAN currently running via Friztbox on 192.168.1.1

Set the Huawei host IP to 192.168.1.253.

Connecting via WAN or LAN port does nothing, just get a message theres a problem. Wifi works but phone reports no internet.

Anyone offer me a quick fix ? ;) I've probably just forgotten some 101 networking thing ;)

I haven’t used that particular unit, but have you turned off the DHCP server on the Huawei? The two should be connected together LAN to LAN.

Hi so does it work or not now?

Also, don't enable wpa/wpa2, just wpa2, and remove tkip just aes.

If you want this to seamlessly roam (well loosely), then ensure the above parameters match your other APs

With the above settings, no, still the same.

Might try via WAN port using bridged mode and see what happens if anything........

Just re read you post, the issue is not the WiFi but the phone, you will need to get around the fact that the ATA in these is bound to vlan10 of the WAN, you can re bind it to the LAN, if its possible.

Cyril

Edit, forget that, just re read it, so when connected Lan to Lan, does your phone get an IP address, and is it as expected, if you try a laptop instead of a phone can you ping the fritz.
