Aug 21, 2019 at 7:11 comment added Ingo OK, the AP bridges WiFi and wired connection. But still unclear is how the RasPi connects to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) which is not a device. Usually you have a peace of hardware (modem, router) that connects to the ISP mostly with the PPPOE protocol or by a xG (GSM, 3G, 4G) satellite connection. How does the RasPi connects to your provider? Does it use PPPOE? This configuration is important because we have to check routing. Can you please edit your question and add the things to it that you have clarified in comments?
Aug 20, 2019 at 21:47 comment added Nht_e0 @Ingo The connection from ISP is similar to any other home connection. Instead of connecting a typical router I have connected a RPi. The IP address for eth0 should be provided by the ISP. The DHCP server is for the internal network that is behind a NAT (provided by the RPi that acts as a router). The AP does not a provide any service. It only acts like a bridge
Aug 20, 2019 at 21:25 comment added Ingo I do not understand how the RasPi is connected to ISP by eth0. How does the interface eth0 gets it ip address? For what do you need a DHCP server on the RasPi? Does not the AP provide a DHCP server?
Aug 20, 2019 at 21:15 comment added Nht_e0 @Ingo OS is Raspbian buster Jul 2019. I am replacing the router with the RPi to get more insight into the traffic. I am using the existing router as an AP connected to the RPi because its signal strength is better and I don't want to buy a new wifi dongle or something similar :)

Aug 20, 2019 at 11:29 comment added Ingo What operating system do you use? What version? Is there a special reason why you don't connect the AP direct to ISP with an ethernet cable?
