There are no rules about what subnet range an ISP's gear will assign to DHCP devices.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>So (I believe) it becomes incumbent on OpenWrt to be smarter than the ISP's router (shouldn't be hard) and pick a separate subnet for its LAN & wireless interface. (Clearly, OpenWrt could default to 192.168.1.0/24, but if that's that range the ISP is using, it could switch to 192.168.2.0/24. I think that's all the flexibility that's required...)</div><div><br class=""></div><div>And then advertise a mDNS name to make it easy for humans to connect.
