Wireless PPPoE server

Hello everybody! I would like to ask a little bit help :

I have got an AP, on this device there is a pppoe-server, these are the settings:

IP address of AP is 192.168.2.1/24, the ip pool is: 192.168.2.2-192.168.2.100

I want only pppoe-tunnel between the AP and the Customer pc, laptop or router.

At the moment i do not have public IP ranges, but later i would like to give public IP address to customer.

So is there any solution between AP and the CPE device ? How can i set ip addresses between them ?

If this is a very stupid question, i apologise and i very appreciate any solution.

Thank you !

i don't know whether i get this correct: you want a setup where you're able to communicate with the CPE but the customer traffic shall go through a pppoe tunnel?

nothing easier than that. it's possible to have an non-routed(filtered) IP network on the same layer2-network as where you're building the pppoe connections. we have something similar here:

AP running a PPPOE server on the wirelessinterface: w1
there is also a private IP assigned to the wirelessinterface. like 10.123.x.1/24

SXTs connecting to the AP.
On the SXTs the ethernet interface is bridged with wireless interface. The Users are able to just plug in their devices into the SXT ethernet port and connect via pppoe.

for remote administration all SXTs have a private IP configured ( assigned to the bridge ) like 10.123.x.10/24.
The complete 10.123.x.x block is just for administration purposes and is NOT routed to the internet. To make it more secure it's possible to filter (at the bride) all non-pppoe packets coming from the SXT ethernet port.

Yes i want this setup:

PPPoE server on AP: 192.168.2.0/24 ( address of wlan is : 192.168.2.1/24 ) Layer 2

There is also another IP range for administration purpose: 10.10.70.0/24 Layer 3 ( AP :10.10.70.1/24, SXT Lite 5: 10.10.70.2/24 )

I am not an expert, i am just trying to delvelope my knowledge.

Update:

I have tested your recommended setup, working, thank you very much for your help
