title: Why can't I access the OpenWRT Web UI in Access Point Only Mode?
body: <p>I have a main router with a dhcp and dns service.</p>
  
  <p>An <strong>additional router</strong>, a Netgear R7800 Nighthawk X4S, is connected over wire to the main router which I will use to extend the wireless coverage. </p>
  
  <p>Because I have a relatively small simultaneous device count (home network), I decided to use the main router's DHCP and DNS services. </p>
  
  <p>On the additional (aux) router, I stopped the dhcp service and the dns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/init.d/dnsmasq disable &amp;&amp; /etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop
  /etc/init.d/firewall disable &amp;&amp; /etc/init.d/firewall stop
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I disabled the WAN settings:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#config interface 'wan'
  #        option ifname 'eth0'
  #        option proto 'dhcp'
  
  #config interface 'wan6'
  #        option ifname 'eth0'
  #        option proto 'dhcpv6'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I adjusted the switch to include the WAN port (unsure why ports 0 and 5 are WAN and not just 0) THIS STEP COULD BE MY MISTAKE:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#config switch
  #        option name 'switch0'
  #        option reset '1'
  #        option enable_vlan '1'
  
  config switch_vlan
          option device 'switch0'
          option vlan '1'
          option ports '0 1 2 3 4 5 6' # added WAN ports 0 and 5
  
  #config switch_vlan
  #        option device 'switch0'
  #        option vlan '2'
  #        option ports '5 0'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The 'lan' interface looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>config interface 'lan'
          option ifname 'eth1 switch0'
          option type 'bridge'
          option proto 'static'
          option ipaddr '10.0.1.3' # MAC reservation on main router
          option netmask '255.255.255.0'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I could connect and get an IP from the main router, but I could not ping my new router, nor access it over SSH or access the Web UI. What am I missing?</p>
