How can I configure Fresh Tomato to act as an access point so I can access Samba shares on the other side? (leminal.space)

I have a router with a fresh install of Fresh Tomato so none of the settings have been changed yet. The Samba server is on the other side of the access point.

It seems like it should be as simple as making the following alterations in the Network tab:

WAN0 Settings

Type: DHCP -> Disable

LAN

IP address 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.0.2, DHCP -> Disable

Default Gateway 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.0.1, Static DNS 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.0.1

On my other server I would set the Fresh Tomato router as a static IP address.

Whenever I make all these alterations and click save computers connected to the Fresh Tomato router become disconnected from the internet and I can no longer seem to access the router. I've had to reset it.

Is there something I am missing?

This should just work without any alterations though.

But don't disable DHCP for wan, that's probably not it. That's needed for connectivity
