I have read all the threads in this forum regarding this topic. I have forund some anwsers but not all. Here is my setup:

Existing LAN---WL-500GX(1) --- wifi --- WL-500GX(2)--New LAN (4 clients pluged into wl-500)

My problems:
- I'd like the clients on the new lan to get their IP assigned from the separate DHCP server on the existing lan.

- I'd like to have the wifi part encripted with WPA (do I select WPA or WPA-PSK in the setup)

- I'd like both units to work in hybrid mode, as I also have some wifi enabled notbooks visiting.

So far I have done the followong:
- both units have the 1.9.5.0 firmware from asus
- the setup works like intented if i don't use encription
- i have enterd the MAC adress listed on the bottom of the unit into the other unti's wireles/bridge list (one shows the other in the status/wireless but the other just shows connection to:...)
- both units are set to router mode.

Colud someone help me with some steps on howto get my setup working.

thanks
