Networking isnt my strongest subject.
I have 7 Google homes, and I wish to use one of my Wifi radios to create a whole network just for the Google homes to cut down on stale sessions.
Google homes are only compatible with DHCP, but from what I have found is that after an IP is provided for an extended period of time, the google home eventually looks like it is offline when it shouldnt be which I assume is a stale session.
I want to create this network, then have a DHCP server that is unique to this network only and isnt shared between the other 2 Wifi Networks, assign a different IP range to the network in comparison to the other 2 Wifi networks, and then change the IP leases to be only a few hours long.
I think by constantly switching the local IP of the Google homes it should stop the issue that I have.
How can I do this in LEDE?
At the moment br-lan interface contains the 3 wifi networks and the physical ethernet interfaces of the router. This is where I get stuck because the DHCP settings are per router interface so I think I would have to remove the Wifi network I want from br-lan and then give it its own interface to use which connects out to the WAN.
