the dmesg looks fine, that time could of been on the server side. default gw mode use what u need, probably depends on the host if it is able to successfully pass down the gw info to the bridge (assuming the gw is the host itself aka using the host internal ip). vap is not required unless u need it, if u only do client bridge with ethernet clients connected to the bridge, dont need vap. i updated it to be more clear

Well damn, perhaps I didn't run the dmesg soon enough or something. Do I need to have any particular settings on my computer itself? Things like the "adapter settings" or anything?

EDIT: When looking through Asus settings again I found this.



The router's LAN IP is 192.168.1.1, which is what I've been setting things like the gateway on the bridge too. However it seems that it has a different WAN IP? Going to be testing around with this but which IP should I be using as the gateway and such?

[tatsuya46]

adapter settings dont need changing. the asus has such an ip cause ur isp device isnt in bridge mode if it offers it, if it doesnt then put the ip of the asus in the dmz (make it static first so the asus always gets the 192.168.0.6). gw on the bridge should stay as the asus ip 192.168.1.1 as its still having to connect to it anyway to reach the isp device (but can try changing it if u want just cause)

[TooMuchStarbucks]

So in the DMZ of the Bridge put in 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.0.6 after I've made that IP static on the Asus router?

[tatsuya46]

no on the isp modem, put asus ip 192.168.0.6 in static list & dmz if possible, on asus router do nothing for now, on the tplink bridge leave gw mode as 192.168.1.1

[TooMuchStarbucks]

Oh so there's a configuration page or something for my modem? How would I access that. I don't really know much about the modem other than that it's Motorola and our ISP is Bright House Networks.

[tatsuya46]

its a modem/router combo or something with nat or the asus wouldnt have a 192.168.x.x wan ip, id assume it should be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.100 or 192.168.0.254

[TooMuchStarbucks]

Ahh okie, just got into it.



Would this be what I'm looking for? What does DMZ even do?

[tatsuya46]

open all ports/completely turns off firewall to selected device, as close to bridge mode on the isp modem as ull get if it doesnt support the feature (some isps u have to call it in & its done remotely by isp, such as mine)

[TooMuchStarbucks]

So you're saying that setting DMZ does all of that, or that I need to do all of that? Sorry hard to make you out .

Also I don't see something like a static list? Should I just make the WAN IP static on my Asus router?

[tatsuya46]

dmz does that automatically after enabling it for the selected ip. as in changing the asus from dhcp to static? can try that so it keeps requesting the same ip from the isp modem. after putting the asus wan ip 192.168.0.6 into the isp modem dmz check again for the hanging/lag issue

[TooMuchStarbucks]

Alright trying to set the WAN IP to static.What should I set the subnet mask and Gateway to? [/list]

[tatsuya46]

subnet probably as it is now, gateway is the ip of the isp modem, 192.168.0.1 ot whatever ip brings up its config page

[TooMuchStarbucks]

Unfortunately that seemed to not have worked.I set my router to a static IP of 192.168.0.2, turned off DCHP for the modem (wasn't really working with it on anyway), and set the DMZ Address to that IP, still get drops.

I'm not looking at the task manager and, well this is interesting.



Just shows how inconsistent the connection is hah.

Also found something on the modem config page.



Would this be what you're talking about the trying to set it to bridging or something?

Here's the newest dmesg log.

[tatsuya46]

no thats wds which is different, bridging the isp modem means to disable the router portion of it, then the asus would get an external wan ip like 50.11.4.100 or something like that, the dmesg isnt showing any drops at all..have u confirmed the issue either persists or fixes when connecting to the asus directly over wifi?
