RaspberryPi 3 Retropie OS Wifi using DHCP with DNS and Gateway in different devices
The main three things are these:
1. Inside /etc/network/interfaces:
The wifi interface should be set as dhcp as have the usual settings for using wpa_conf
2. Inside /etc/dhcpcd.conf:
Disable ipv6
Add the the gateway (router) as static routers=...
3. Create a file /etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf, where you disable ipv6 for all AND for each interface
(more info about ipv6 disabling in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6#Disable_IPv6)
Example of files mentioned:
=======================================
/etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wireless-power off
============================================
/etc/dhcpcd.conf
# A sample configuration for dhcpcd.
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.
# Allow users of this group to interact with dhcpcd via the control socket.
#controlgroup wheel
# Inform the DHCP server of our hostname for DDNS.
hostname
# Use the hardware address of the interface for the Client ID.
clientid
# or
# Use the same DUID + IAID as set in DHCPv6 for DHCPv4 ClientID as per RFC4361.
#duid
# Persist interface configuration when dhcpcd exits.
persistent
# Rapid commit support.
# Safe to enable by default because it requires the equivalent option set
# on the server to actually work.
option rapid_commit
# A list of options to request from the DHCP server.
option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name
option classless_static_routes
static routers= # Your router IP here
# Most distributions have NTP support.
option ntp_servers
# Respect the network MTU.
# Some interface drivers reset when changing the MTU so disabled by default.
option interface_mtu
# A ServerID is required by RFC2131.
require dhcp_server_identifier
# Generate Stable Private IPv6 Addresses instead of hardware based ones
#slaac private
noipv6rs
noipv6
# A hook script is provided to lookup the hostname if not set by the DHCP
# server, but it should not be run by default.
# nohook lookup-hostname
=====================================
/etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.wlan1.disable_ipv6 = 1
