[ale] [ALE] Setting up DHCP with Wireless

Tue Sep 19 13:33:04 EDT 2023

Alex thanks, I might try dhcp so here what I got so far

As I told you, I have the Banana-R3 setup with OpenWRT

And the ZimaBoard with pfSense

So, I am grateful for the help, because again the R2 Pro will be OMV so I
have a nas.
