I have two Pi's that are connected together through a switch as part of a local intranet where each Pi is assigned a static IP for their eth0 interface.

But in order to still be able to update packages, i wanted to set up each Pi's wlan0 interface so that it connects to my home Wifi and can have access to the internet.

I modified /etc/dhcpcd.conf for both as follows:

Code: Select all

#set static ip for eth0
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.50.101/24
static routers=192.168.50.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.50.1

Then I modified /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf for both to include the SSID and PW for my home Wifi. Everything seems to be connected because when I 'ifconfig', I get:

Code: Select all

          inet addr:192.168.50.101  Bcast:192.168.50.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

But when I actually try to apt-get or ping anything on the internet, there doesn't seem to be an actual connection. Am I missing something here? Can I actually separate wlan0 and eth0 onto two separate networks or do they get bridged automatically?

You've got your gateway router defined on your eth0 interface. Remove that "static_routers" line it should only appear on the interface that's connected to the public internet.
