Bekijk de volledige versie : Bridged network problem
Have 2 ASUS 500g with 1.8.1.7-2a in bridged network. The main router is HOME GATEWAY, and secondary ACCESS POINT (with LAN-coupled sat.tuner). Channel 11.
Both running HYBRID, with WPA PSK-TKIP, and MAC filtering. MANUALLY IP based on MACadr on my normal devices (incl secondary router). 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.7. But at same time DHCP enabled (to make them show up in dhcp-leases window), DHCP starting 192.168.1.10.
Everything is AOK. Have 1 PC with WL138g connecting to the secondary router, it did loose connection sometimes but after changing from ch6 to ch11, its perfect.
Have LapTop with WL100g connecting to either router, but when moving from area so it has to change router, it will connect but shortly disconnects. Ie first in basement connecting via secondary ASUSrouter. Then switch off laptop, move to 2nd floor and reconnect with main ASUSrouter, then after a while WL100g disconnects. Deactivate and reactivate WL100g, same thing happens - first normal then it shortly disconnects. BUT when restart of ASUSmain-router everything was AOK again - until I tried to change position to connect with secondary ASUSrouter. The WL100g is allowed in both routers MAC filter.
What am I missing? How can I make clients seemless transfer between the two routers?
Why switch off the laptop?
Auto roaming enabled for the WL-100g?

are you also using SP2 at the notebook? or only SP1

answer brubbers question too please.. I don't get it why you should turn off notebook..?
I don't have to turn off the notebook, but I did.
Lets say I finish work one day, and booting up laptop the next day in an other area in the house which is supported by the other ASUSrouter, the laptop-wl100g will not stably connect as described above...
:confused:
Once more, did you enable auto roaming on your laptop?
Couldn't find any option for Auto Roaming. Using XP SP2 and not Asus Utility for setup of wl100g.
XP is setup to "automaticly connect when within range", is that maybe the same as Auto Roaming?

I'm not familiar with the XP SP2 wireless settings so I can't tell.
You may wish to Google "Windows XP wireless auto roaming" or "Windows XP wireless auto roaming problem"; check out WXp wireless client documentation; search at microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?view=en-us&st=a&na=81&qu=wireless+roaming&qp=&qa=&qn=&c=10&s=0
Or search this forum for WDS, and read carefully
Are you sure your network setup is OK? please post some more details. Are you using different channels on both routers? DHCP TCP/IP config?
If you are sure your setup is OK you may wish to try the asus client or another client such as http://www.download.com/Pctel-Wi-Fi-Roaming-Client/3000-2155_4-10302507.html?tag=stbc.gp
Hi,
I've got a question to that statement:

How did you manage to run your bridge with WPA PSK-TKIP? My brigde stops working if I switch from WEP to WPA all the time. I have two WL-500g and tried this with 1.7.5.6 and now 1.8.1.9 but it still won't work.
Thanks for your help

Yeah, I have the same kind of problem, as soon as I try to use the WPA instead of WEP, the bridge stops working.... Need help on this issue.
I'm running FW 1.8.1.9 as well.

use firmware 1.8.1.7-2a (custom one yes) that one does work..
yes, use 1.8.1.7-2a.
I have now done several restarts of all routers/pc's and have suddenly no problems with my originally problem.

Now I have tried 1.8.1.7-2a, as well. Same problem. As soon as I activate some form of WPA-PSK the bridge stops working. I tried with TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES and with and witout WEP128 bit. Still same, doesn't work. :mad:

use channel above 6 at least,
also add your other config pages for wireless stuff please
except radius settings ( I assume you did not change anything in that particular menu)

Why must it be a channel above channel 6. I cant see any relation to that in this matter. :confused: I have been running channel 4 in over a year now, with no interference.
Also see attachent for other Wireless settings.

I had some problem with wl138g in my setup. After I changed from channel 6 to channel 11 the problem disappeared. Ch 11 works for me!

about channel see msg from tonia it can solve problems
be sure that both AP's have the same SSID, try turning WDS only to HYBRID at both devices
and turn off WEP stuff only TKIP+AES
after doing that at both WL500g's turn them both off and then on
and be sure no cable is connected from WL500g-1 to WL500g-2

Anything new on this topic? Recently I updated to 1.9.2.7 and then to 1.9.2.7-CR5 (Oleg). But WPA still won't work for the brigde.
Anyone out there with a working setup with two WL-500g as network bridges and activated WPA encryption? Maybe you cound post your settings here, so I can copy them and try them? Until now I was not able to find anyone.
Thank you
Krocus
Yes, mine is working 100%:
2 x wl500g bridged with WPA-PSK TKIP. Hidden SSID, MAC filtering.
Check out my first post in this thread, it pretty much describes the setup. Laptop mostly on WiFi with router#1, and one stationary PC connected WiFi to router#2 with wl-138g.
On "Interface menu", I'm using "54g only" and "54g protection"
On "Bridge menu": Hybrid, same channel. "Connect to AP in remote bridge list", where each other router's MAC adress is added.
On "Advanced menu" I've set "Extended mode" to "AP or WDS".
Make sure you use same channel and same SSID on both routers!!!
I'm using 1.8.1.7-CR2a on both routers. I might move on to FW 1.9.2.7-CR5a tomorrow, but so far: why change a winning team.
Switch off routers for 10 minutes after firmware upgrade/downgrade.
