R700 & R500 Unleashed - Can I use the Ethernet port to bridge to WAN?

[ricardo_rivera_]

Good morning,

At home I'm using an R700 (Master) and R500 (Mesh) on unleashed mode. I would like to know if I can use one of the ethernet port on the R500 to connect a PC(with no wifi) to get internet. 

Right now I connect the PC on one of the port and I don't get any ip. I assigned a static ip to the PC and I still can't get out to the internet.

Could this be posible on this setup?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think that is what I'm looking for... or I'm not getting it!

do you get IP ok from 2nd eth port from R710?

Maybe I need to bridge the ethernet port to the wlan.. but I can't see the ap setting since it is running the unleashed and I can not get to the ap setting at all.. all I get the the unleashed dashboard page...

Hi Ricardo,

   All good troubleshooting advice above too, thx Community!  Please try
plugging your PC-no-Wifi to your 2nd R710 (Master Unleashed AP) and
you should pull DHCP from the Router if configured and working correctly.

   Do you have clients connecting to your Unleashed WLANs and pulling IP
ok too?  If so, they should also get IPs if they are close to/connecting to
your Mesh AP as well (just like a directely connected PC on 2nd Eth port).

   For further testing, can you take your R500 to your R710, and connect it
directly to the R710 2nd Eth port?  This should "daisy-chain" your R500 AP,
but with wired link back to the Router/DHCP/Def-gw. 

   Standing close, does a wireless client on Unleashed WLAN off the R500
get IP ok?  If so, how about your PC if you plug into 2nd Eth port and disable
WiFi?  Looking forward to your results.  Thanks and best regards.
