Network settings
#1
Having some trouble finding the correct network settings for my layout, and I feel others might run into the same issue.

Marina WIFi -> Outdoor WiFI AP -> LAN -> Pi/Openplotter -> Local ships WiFi AP.

I have a outdoor WiFi access point (Ubiquity) mounted on the arch, it's wireless interface is connected to the marina WiFi @ DHCP 192.168.1.75. It's local LAN interface is static @ 192.168.5.1. My laptop works perfectly when connected via LAN cable at static 192.168.5.2.

I then transfer the LAN cable to the PI. The pre-set network settings in OpenPlotter all seem to work after I apply the config, reset, and manually set the eth0 to 192.168.5.2 and 192.168.5.1 as gateway via the task bar network config GUI. This works, hit and miss, and with horrible latency as if there is an IP or packet conflict of some kind. I'm guessing the PI doesn't like getting some settings from OP network config, and then additional manual settings from the PI GUI network settings.

OP then shares that eth0 connection over WiFi as a local access point at the default 10.10.10.1 DHCP. Ideally I would also be able to config the PI WiFi onto the same 192.168.5.x subnet so I can still access the outdoor access point from any device to change it's config/connection.

Thing is, I've used this arrangement before on previous versions of OP and it worked great. Something in the last update seems to have changed the pre-config settings.

I've also tried editing some of the network config files directly but it's hit and miss as I'm not sure exactly which files OP/PI are using as the active network configs. May I've been using the wrongs ones.

Any guidance much appreciated as I'm about to install a needless router along side to get around this issue.
