Through extensive testing and adjustments, I achieved a functional setup. Although it didn’t match my initial plan exactly, it was satisfactory. I acquired a TP-Link Archer AX23 Wi-Fi router and a TP-Link LS1005G network switch. By connecting the switch to my ISP gateway and linking my PC and Wi-Fi router via Ethernet, I configured the new router in Access Point mode and turned off DHCP. Devices on my local network could now communicate over Wi-Fi, and vice versa—success! I also set up a basic PHP web server to verify everything worked correctly. The main challenge arose from my ISP’s CGNAT policy, which blocked Wi-Fi domain resolution. After moving my domain to Cloudflare and using their proxy, the issue was resolved, and everything operates smoothly now.
