Using a Wi-Fi router or a Wi-Fi access point

The internal Wi-Fi of the Pi is unstable for general use, connect using RPi4's Ethernet port to a configured AP/router:

  1. Login to the Wi-Fi router's admin page or phone app.
  2. Set "LAN IP address" to 172.17.17.5 (you can change the last number by preference from 5-10)
  3. Disable "DHCP Server"
  4. Now plug SmoothWAN appliance to the LAN port instead of WAN.

You have just created a "Bridged Access Point".
You can access the Wi-Fi router setup page from 172.17.17.5
