AP in bridge mode don't act as WAP...

Jan 19, 2007 8 Replies

Hi, I had setup a wireless bridge beetween a remote router and an access point, where I can connect my PC using an ethernet cable. Now I want to access Internet from my PC without using the ethernet cable, but wireless. I know that in bridge mode, the access point do not act as a WAP... can anyone help me? I already tried connecting another access point to the AP in my home, but it doesn't work!



Thanks,



Claudio


Try setting your router up as a repeater instead of a bridge.

I didn't find this option in my router, I only have a WDS option and using this it works fine, but too slow, instead in bridge mode it works very fast, but I can't connect my pc using wireless. Do you have any idea why adding another AP it doesn't work?

Have you tried using a "crossed" cable or a hub/switch?

A crossed cable, I can ping my AP but Internet doesn't work.

Does the AP you can ping have its DHCP server turned on?

I think that one would of expected that as it is repeating information. I would also imagine it might be 50% or more slower.

No, all static ip.

That should work if connected and configured correctly:
