OpenWrt Lede Point to Point configuration in bridge mode

OpenWrt lede is the latest release of firmware for various OEM hardware. You can get your router-supported Lede version from the official OpenWRT hardware table. I have already posted different mode configurations for OpenWRT such as repeater mode, wisp mode, client bridge mode. In this post, I will show how to configure OpenWRT lede point to point in bridge mode for CCTV and internet connection. The configuration of OpenWrt firmware is a little bit different in bridge mode so many people failed to configure it in pure bridge mode.in my personal view, it is the best OpenWRT router for home and office wireless.
