I'm glad you made it. I would have done it slightly differently, but what's
important is that it's working.

I've just added DHCP field into JSON file, so that clients now can receive

If I understood correctly, you want a centralized DHCP server right?

In that case, you have to have all your devices and openwisp2 instance on
the same layer2 network: devices and DHCP server must be on the same LAN,
or wifi and LAN bridge together, or you will have to use Layer2 VPNs (eg:
OpenVPN TAP) to connect different buildings.

It depends on your use case scenario, but as a general suggestion, you can
use dnsmasq as a centralized DHCP server and turn off all the DHCP servers
on the OpenWRT routers. If you need to use a layer2 VPN, you can use
OpenVPN in bridged mode, which is supported by OpenWISP 2 (although there's
not much documentation or step by step tutorial on how to set it up yet).
