Re: [PLUG] Configuring routing tables to use Wifi over LAN for Internet access

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

The DHCP on the LAN is a router running OpenWRT 12.09 with the Wifi turned off. I have spent some time trying to tell it not to offer a default route to its DHCP clients, but no luck so far… Thanks for the suggestion, Rich.

Regards

What is your DHCP server handing out on your LAN?  Can you have it
hand out the correct gateway to each host?  I'm not sure what DHCP
client you're using and how it is assigning metrics, or whether it is
configurable.
