Identify SSID Interface ↑

As the following configuration is applied to a specific interface, you need to identify which interface / virtual interface your SSID is using, to do so you can use the following command:

nvram show | grep WiFiTest

Which should result something similar to:

wl0.2_ssid=WiFiTest
size: 48528 bytes (17008 left)
wl_ssid=WiFiTest

This example give us wl0.2 as the interface that we need to tweak.

Scripts ↑

DNSMasq Script ↑

Create the following file:

/jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf

Give it the following permission:

chmod +xxx /jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf

Its content should be:

#!/bin/sh
CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh
logger "dnsmasq-dhcp: Configure wl0.2 to have special DHCP"
ifconfig wl0.2 172.30.20.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
iptables -D INPUT -i wl0.2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -i wl0.2 -j ACCEPT
ebtables -t broute -D BROUTING -i wl0.2 -p ipv4 -j DROP
ebtables -t broute -I BROUTING -i wl0.2 -p ipv4 -j DROP
pc_append "
log-dhcp
interface=wl0.2
dhcp-range=wl0.2,172.30.20.150,172.30.20.200,255.255.255.0,86400s
dhcp-option=wl0.2,3,172.30.20.1
dhcp-option=wl0.2,6,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
" /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf

Feel free to customize the DHCP option and range.

Service-start Script ↑

You need to create this file to ensure the DHCP service is restarted after the WiFi interface have been mounted. Create the following file:

/jffs/scripts/services-start

Give it the following permission:

chmod +xxx /jffs/scripts/services-start

Its content should be:

#!/bin/sh
service restart_dnsmasq

Debug ↑

You can restart the dnsmasq server by doing service:

service restart_dnsmasq

It does avoid to reboot the router.

Also ensure you DHCP configuration have the following configuration:

log-dhcp

This last one produce more advance logs that could help you. Example:

available DHCP range: 172.30.20.2 -- 172.30.20.254
