WRT54G wireless bridge

[gurujeff03]

I got my WRT54G working as a wireless bridge using DD-WRT V23 (thank you)

However I can not connect to it via wireless. The only way I was able to accomplish this is using router C. I was able to connect to router A via wireless but that defeats the point of why I connected the bridge.

Router A-------Router B WRT54G (wireless bridge)
WRT54G<====>Router C Dlink DI624 (wired connection)

Is there a way to connect to the WRT54G via wireless. I have DD-WRT set up in "client mode" wireless mode with the network "mixed". The operating mode is in "gateway"

Can you connect to Router B via wireless???

It sounds like you are having the same problem as me. Disable wep and tell me if it allows you to connect. It's not a real solution but might help for troubleshooting purposes.

I talked to linksys tech and they didn't offer any real solutions. I'll probably try a different router or access point to see if that does the trick.

I'm not useing WEP. Linksys won't help because I'm using a 3rd party firmware.

1. It might be nice if you would disclose what is Router A Brand and Model.

If A is not Linksys 54G it might not be able to connect.:shocked:

:sun:

Router A and B are WRT54G's

IIRC, wireless clients cannot connect to a bridge. However, (all?) the wired connections should work on that bridge. It sounds like you should either a) set up the router(B) as an access point if possible or b) plug in a wireless access point into the bridge so that you can connect wireless clients that will lead back to router(A)

Hope I'm right and I hope this helps.

to get wireless access out at the end of your chain, you'll need to use WDS.
In that setup, each router serves as an access point for the local wireless and wired clients, as well as a bridge back to the WAN connection.

So the WRT54G can't do the WDS. what products do WDS besides the WRE54G
