Hi, I am trying to use a raspberry pi (3B running gentoo 32bit, openrc) to create a routed link between two access points (the rpi acting as a client to both AP's) so I can access the monitoring port (6607, modbus) from homeassistant. One AP is an Huawei inverter with a built in "island" access point that sets a default route to itself on clients via dhcp. I have a normal gentoo based Access Point for the house that also sets a default route via dhcp. What I need is a single default route to my home network via the rpi from the Huawei inverter.
Both AP's connect ok from the rpi but the routing is wrong - I can ping in both directions from the rpi, but only sometimes from devices further hops away - can openrc even do this? My experimenting so far is hit and miss. Trying to static route or override the default routes doesn't survive a network glitch, and half the time doesn't seem to "take" at all. A working example I could adapt would be great! BillK
