Orange Pi through the Windows Wi-Fi bridge

Preconditions:

you have an Orange Pi board with Ethernet port
you have installed on the Orange Pi
you have a Windows laptop with both Ethernet and Wi-Fi
you have an Ethernet-cable

Orange Pi - Laptop - Access Point

Open Wi-Fi adapter settings and enable “Internet Connetsion Sharing”:

Remember IP-address from next confirmation window:

As a result you will have a new LAN with DHCP.

Step 2: Connect Orange Pi

Connect Ethernet-cable to the Orange-P and to the laptop.
Power on Orange Pi and wait for loading (about a minute).
Orange Pi should boot and obtain IP-address from the laptop.
Now you need to know this IP (if the monitor and keyboard are not connected to Orange Pi).

You need IP-address from the previous step and run this command: arp -a -N 192.168.137.1

Output looks like:

Interface: 192.168.137.1 --- 0xc
  Internet Address      Physical Address      Type
  192.168.137.85        41-7d-25-dd-f4-ff     dynamic
  192.168.137.255       ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff     static
  224.0.0.22            01-00-da-00-00-16     static
  224.0.0.251           01-00-da-00-00-fb     static
  224.0.0.252           01-00-da-00-00-fc     static
  239.255.255.250       01-00-da-7f-ff-fa     static
  255.255.255.255       ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff     static

Look for an address starting with “192.168.137” but not ending with “.1” or “.255” - this is a new address of the Orange Pi.

Now you can connect to Orange Pi via SSH (in Armbian default username is root and password is ** 1234**.

You may check internet connection, for example via the: ping ya.ru
