I tried Pifi yesterday, and as someone who has tried to set up both RaspAP and OpenWRT on Raspberry Pi, let me just say that Pifi simplifies things very much and is much quicker to get up and running. I did however run into a snag fairly quickly. I wanted to change the IP address of the device from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.2.1, and subsequently hand out DHCP IP addresses in the 192.168.2.x range. Knowing OpenWRT, I expected to find these settings under Network->Interfaces->lan. The setting was however not there. Is the option to change the IP address gone by design, or by oversight?

Hey,
Glad to hear you found it quicker to get up and running!
You can do it through PiFi App > Settings > More Settings > Lan IP
It’s because the IP address change has to update AdGuard Home and other things that are pre-configured so just changing in the usual LuCI spot was causing it to break - may try to keep the option in LuCI and have some sort of script to update the other parts of firmware too but for now it works in the app
Thanks for answering my question. I’m not really used to doing this kind of stuff through an app, so I didn’t even think to look for it there, but sure enough - it did the trick.
