Since I like to use DietPI on my Raspberry Pi as basis for PI-Hole, DietPI should be using both Ethernet and WiFi simultaneously.
Both are different networks, so Ethernet is for my main clients and Wifi is for guests only).
But they share the same address range (that’s the behaviour caused by my AsusWRT-Merlin router).
Obviously, DietPI does not like this configuration. It seems that the WiFi configuration always “wins” over the Ethernet configuration… what is rather bad.
How to configure DietPI in a way that I can use Ethernet and WiFi simultaneously?
No. I am looking for a classical multi-homed configuration = more than one network adapter (Ethernet, WiFi etc.) connected to the same network.
One adapter (Ethernet in my case) answers all of my “home network” requests from the Asus Wifi Router, while the other adapter (in my case the WiFi one that is connected to my “guest network”) responds only to clients requests from that separate network.
That is strange… But it explains why my Ethernet connection always was shut down when I connected WiFi.
Why DietPI does enable only one network device - and intentionally disables other network adapters?
And, more importantly: How to change that - since I like to use more than one network device simultaneously?
Is there a way to use more than one wifi adaptor ?
Raspberry pi 3B+ onboard wifi adaptor for internet connection and another wifi adaptor (USB) for hotspot.
i would like to set the onboard wifi to pick up a wireless connection so the hotspot can be a repeater.
