help pleez...I need to bridge a Netgear WGR614v3 to a Linksys WRT54G

[imthebadguy]

I have a netgear wgr614v3 with an internet connection and i need to bridge the linksys unit (running the satori 4.0) to the netgear so i can get forward the internet throught the wired port of the linksys...how do i do such things??

Pardon the intelligent reply but.. Huh?

If I read this correctly, you've got a Netgear router that you're using for normal Internet access management - Between your network and the Intneret. Somehow, you need to connect a Linksys running Satori to it, as well? Are you trying to make a multi-layer router setup? i.e. client -> linksys -> netgear -> Internet?

IF so, just hook up the WAN port of the Linksys to one of the normal switch ports on the Netgear box. Configure the Linksys to use a different IP subnet than the netgear and all should be good. Caveat being, of course, that anything behind the linksys will be able to access anything behind the netgear, but not vice versa without port translations or a DMZ host setup on the Linksys.

If I didn't interpret this right, please explain what you're trying to do a bit more fully.

this is correct how ever the situation is like this the netgear is kinda far away from the linksys so it cant be hardwired, so what i want to do is to bridge the two using wireless so that internet can be used by the wired machines hooked to the linksys

Whatever is the device that needs to be connected to the wgr614v3 has to be Wireless Client.

According to the Stories propagating on the Internet the Linksys with the "Kinky" firmware might be configurable to work in Client Mode.

Can your do it? I do not know, that why it is ?Kinky?, it is hard to get a straight answer from the French hackers.

On the other hand, some guys here claims that it is working, but would not make an effort to ?Explain Past the Claim?.

I'm trying to do this same thing but using a Belkin on the WAN end. Supposely, you can do a static route (default route) and point it to your WAN router (your linksys) BUT I have had no luck configuring this static route into the Netgear WGR614. I even d/l'ed their latest firmware but no luck.

If you can somehow configure your netgear w/ the following static route then you can bridge the traffic ove.

Netgear static route
Static route:
0.0.0.0 IP Address
0.0.0.0 subnet
a.b.c.d your GW LAN address.

Wonder if there is a hack that fix this issue on the 614. Anyone?

did you ever figure this out? I am trying to do the same thing

I am somewhat considering a similar network setup. Although I'm not that technical, I can get around. But my questions really lie within the hardware involved.

I have a DLINK DI-624 and a Netgear MR-814 (Super G and Standard B, respectively). The DLINK is currently connected to the cable modem and has one computer directly connected and several wirelessly. I want to know several things:

1) what are these terms: acces point and bridge?
2) can i connect the netgear to the dlink via ethernet cable to have the netgear transmit wirelessly in another residence? (assume i have long enough cable)
3) can i connect the netgreat to the dlink via wireless to do the same as above?
4) is there hardware that simply allows for a wireless transmission (where i can connect to a switch port)?

thanks a bunch if you guys answer these questions!

guys, I have that working, but only with two of the linksys routers, using Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
I wish I could give you a better answer regarding using it as a pure client machine.

I'm tryin to do this w/ the Netgear WGT624 and the Linksys WRT54G

both wireless and both G

just trying to bridge them.

Don't care which one is 'net access and which one is an AP...but I NEED it to be working

 

[Tanner]

jes' a lil' bumpage.

With that firmware the WRT54G should be able to operate in client mode. You can configure that under the Wireless settings.

However, you should know that:

Client mode in Satori is a bit buggy. It is something in the Linux kernel that Broadcom just didn't do properly for client mode to work inside of an Ethernet bridge.

I'm going to try this - the WG614v4 accepts the routes -I was taking hard drugs at the time, but these summary routes should take care of the Internet:
