No documented use on FTP wirelessly

[soyny]

So before I start I did get internet passthrough working well with my openwrt configured on my wifi extender. The main issue is with the default configuration is I cannot connect via FTP to my ps4 with the current ip address and port 2121.

I tried various options like tweaking /etc/ppp/chap-secrets ip to a similar subnet to my wifi which is 10.x.x.x instead of 192 since my openwrt device only has one ethernet port so I have to ftp wirelessly anyway. I also tried changing /etc/config/pppoe ip addresses to my routers ip. But I think it might've been a subnet related issue why ftp wasn't working because after setting up my PS4 to pppoe the subnet mask was always 255.0.0.0 and not the same as my wireless network which is 255.255.255.0. I even checked my /etc/config/network which 255.255.255.0 is all I seen in there.

I would like to know your input on this on what I can do to fix this. Or it would be nice of you to add more information on the README about protocols like FTP or remote play especially for wireless devices.

I'm sorry for the delay. To resolve this issue, note that the WAN connection is blocked in the firewall. You need to unblock this setting on your Wi-Fi device. I will add some extra information in the README.md so you can review it and fix the issue. With this, you'll be able to transfer files via FTP from your PC or phone to the PS4.
greetings

Hey thank you for the response. Ok I followed the directions and I actually already had set the WAN connection input to accept before you added that. I even checked the local ip list under the port forwarding menu and I do not see my assigned PS4 ip (which is under /etc/ppp/chap-secrets). I only see my other device ips which I double checked on all of them to make sure it is correct. I even resetted my openwrt extender and reran your script along with the new modifications in the README to troubleshoot incase I accidentally modified anything but I still can't FTP.

Edit: I also want to add I setup my WAN how moddedwarfare showed in his video https://youtube.com/watch?v=hcCS2IOvqZI&t=206

Also it turns out I found a ipv6 address with my ps4 Mac address under port forwarding section

This is how you should route the PS4’s IP without changing the PPPoE connection settings. In my case, my PS4 has the IP address 192.168.8.189, and I configured it to be routed to the mini router’s IP, which is 192.168.1.17, on port 2121. From the PC using the FTP client, you should use the mini router’s IP—192.168.1.17:2121 in my case—which is the IP of the main local network, not the mini router’s internal one. Check the README.md again, as I added this last step yesterday along with some screenshots.

As for the last part, I suppose you're referring to using an address like openwrt.lan instead of 192.168.1.x. I think I had already tried that, but I needed to look into it a bit more, and it's still on my to-do list.
