Comment on How do I use an OpenWRT device as both an extender (for the main router) as well as a firewall + NAT + DHCP box?

Do you even need relayd? I think relayd is for extending the existing NAT, i.e. a wireless bridge operation. If you want to have your own NAT, I think it’s enough to just connect to the upstream wireless network as a client. Not sure if you have to designate the wireless interface as WAN or not.

How would you do this? What would be the steps you take to create a double NAT + Firewall + DHCP server with the OpenWRT router behind the main router?

  I think you basically need to do this. I see it mentions the wifi interface becoming WAN too.

Depends if you want to assign IP addresses or not. If you don’t, you just want your own section of the same lan, I.e.all your devices connected to your router but let dhcp pass through then you can just set itnup as an extender

  He mentioned that he wants to create Second level Nat, that will require new IP addresses and DHCP in the subnet
