I am planning to use an old WiFi router as a WiFi extender. I have configured everything on the router. The DHCP server is off, channel mode is set to bridged and Universal Repeater Mode is enabled. However, when I try to connect it to my Linux machine,Only IPv6 is working IPv4 is not working, and when I try to connect it to my Android phone, there is no internet at all. I have tried assigning static IP's, but it did not help. And I also found this post on Askubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1025008/ipv6-is-working-but-ipv4-isnt to get things temporarily working on linux but I found no option to get things working on my phone or to permanently solve the issue on Linux side
Here is the terminal output when I try to ping two different sites
Code:
ping superuser.com
PING superuser.com (104.18.43.79) 56(84) bytes of data.

and when I ping google
Code:
ping google.com

Could somebody please help me solve this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
