Similar kind of Question has been asked and answered but my problem is a little different. I live in a building where to get Wifi, you need to buy a voucher which works on a single device for a month by storing that device's MAC address. I have bought the voucher for my Laptop and want to share the internet to a Wifi repeater via Ethernet so the rest of my devices can use the internet too. The Wifi repeater is TP Link TL-WA850RE 7.0. It does has a single LAN port and i have put it in Access Point mode. My Ubantu version is 22.04LTS. I have followed this this yet this still doesn't help me.
- I first made a new Wired connection, named it "My Network", went into its IPV4 settings and selected "shared to other computers".
- Next i opened the Web Gui of my Wifi Repeater, selected "use the following IP address" and put following in the form;
- Ip address :10.42.0.2
- Subnet Mask :255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway : 10.42.0.1, (which is the IPV4 address of the shared Ethernet connection i made)
- Primary DNS :10.10.0.1, (which is the DNS of my Wifi connection) and secondary DNS :8.8.8.8
- Next i changed the DHCP Server settings of Wifi Repeater to Auto (turning them to OFF does nothing). Yet i am still not getting any internet access on the Repeater.
I just dual booted into Ubantu because i was having the same problem in Windows. It does work in Windows but only if i use Connectify Pro application's wired router mode, so i do know that my Wifi Repeater can share the internet.I don't want to use any application and thus installed Ubantu but getting the same problem here. What am i doing Wrong? Pictures are attached. Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3
