Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2007 18:09 Post subject: client bridge mode and halo 2
I have a WRT54G v8 that cannot be upgraded to DD-WRT, and a WRT54GS v2 with DD-WRT v23 SP2 installed.
I Want to be able to connect several xboxes to each one and be able to play halo 2 via system link.
I have successfully set up client bridge mode by following these Instructions.
I am able to create a game on an xbox on either side of the bridge, and I can see it from the other side. When I try to join the game, I get an error that says "Unable to join: You can't join this party. Please wait a moment and try again later."

huh 10 years old vintage thread ....
with this old routers will be very hard to handle few Xbox devices at once neither LAN nor WI FI is capable to handle such a traffic with slow CPU the other question is did you enabled UPnP it suppose to work i ve seen couple Xbox on one router running DD-WRT all running flawlessly but no idea how to, i guess first enable UPnP then make sure all clients are able to ping and then it suppose to be working...
do keep in mind all build are different and in beta state so if one builds is not working try another with full nvram erase and manually rebuild router settings... _________________ Atheros

It's quite a bit of work to do and the the wrt54Gv8 can be hard to work with but is usually stable once you get it setup.
You still just have a couple old G routers but if that's all you got that is what I would try
the idea is to use the "router" as a client bridge. setup, connection, dhcp, dns, everything works. We can see the Halo 2 game already created, that others can join on the lan, but this "wireless client" for a normal xbox, cannot join it.
There is NO INTERNET, NO WAN, no firewall needed. there is no reason we cannot join this game!!!!
DD-WRT running as a Client-Bridge to an OPEN WIFI network. Cannot join an existing LAN game. IP address and DNS asside

If you actually have two routers of the same chipset as the OP had you should WDS them and get away from the client bridge nonsense.
Your Xbox gaming should work then.

Thanks for the advice. We are trying to grab a wifi signal from a Ubiquiti Unifi Public AP. We will look at getting a ubiquiti client to try instead.
