Hi,
I took me some time to make decision on which forum to post. I hope it is a good decision.
First of all. I managed to upload and configure DD-WRT on US Robotics USR5455. And it works. Everything thanks to this topic: how to for USR5455. It works fine. No problems at all. Well - one - you can access it only via WIFI (it has only WAN port) which caused me some problems (since I was not aware of this).
Anyway. I'm almost a complete greenhorn in those things. I wanted to use mentioned device as a client bridge. I found simple tutorial how to make your router client bridge on DD-WRT. And I connected it to my network 10.0.1.9/255.255.255.0 (main AP was 10.0.1.1).
Seems ok. But there is no visible extra power (wifi range). I can connect to it. It detects main AP etc. But it doesn't
work.
Now I'm thinking maybe it shouldn't? Maybe one-antenna devices cannot act as bridge? Or can they?
Mode is set to client bridge, security is the same, successfully joined the main AP (status/wireless), static ip is set to match network, i can connect it etc. Seems fine.
What did I miss?
Any help would be appreciated. |
