RPi 3 as a WiFi to Ethernet Bridge?

[newbsie]

I have done some research on this, but the few solutions I found has one inherent caveat, that IP is given by the RPi, not the router the RPi is wirelessly bridging too.

So the setup is

Device -> ethernet -> RPi 3 -> wirelessly -> Router

Anyone found a working solution or resource for this?

This is for RPi 3 with Raspbian Jessie Light specifically.

DHCP assigns IP numbers based on MAC address. Doesn't it just work with packet forwarding turned on?

Were you able to get this setup with Jessie. Having trouble myself with Jessie using wifi to ethernet bridge. If able to get working, can you post the procedure?

Bridging like that is unlikely to work successfully as the wifi standard doesn't allow for it. It may appear to with some wifi cards / drivers, but there's usually some issues even then.

You can setup the pi as a router, and have it provide a separate network with dhcp on the ethernet side. Theres plenty of guides around on how to set that up.

Reporting back that I never found a solution to this. I ended up just giving my device a new internal IP separate from the Wifi.
