i'm now typing this over my WDS 'network' as i have disconnected the wan cable from the second WL500g
I want to setup a Wireless LAN test environment in a factory hall as an addition to the existing wired network. I'm familiar with the WL-500G but do not know if this is the rights one to start with. Linksys units do not support WPA in a WDS configuration. If possible i want to use 802.11g and WPA and start with 3 units.
I"m thinking about to connect the first unit to the wired network and have the other two connected by WDS.
Which unit should i use and how do i setup this configuration?
Thanks
have no idea what you exactly want to do
but use firmware 1.8.1.7-2 at all 3 units
and turn them into WDS with WPA turned on
be sure that every AP has the same SSID/WPA-KEY
should work (tested it here once..)
I want to create a wireless network in a large hall that uses roaming, WPA and the 802.11G (54 Mbps) standard.
I want to connect only one access point (or router) to the wired network.
What equipment do i need to use, the WL-300G or other ASUS WLAN products or a mix of products.
I want to start with three access points.
The other questions are - of course - how to setup this?
i've posted this question here, under the WL-500g forum, because i could not find an "overall" Q&A forum with Q&A of all the ASUS WLAN products.
i have no experience with wl300g, also because of the difference in price I would never buy 1 of those
just as I said you can configure them (use Hybrid instead of WDS)
just turn off dhcp on the others which are not connected by cable
and whoila it's working
Yeah, or search the forum for WDS + LAN and you will find this thread; http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=...ght=wds+lan+ap that may be very helpful alsoQuote:

Will try the third soon and the workings of both the encryptions.
which firmware(s) are you using?Quote:

Yes it is in WDS mode (Hybrid) and i'm using now the Firmware 1.8.1.7-2a on both AP's.Quote:

Going to try with 1.8.2.4 on both AP's and then couple the third WL-500G.
Well the fw 1.8.2.4 does not work to setup a WDS.Quote:

Adding the third WL-500g (with the same FW and same settings - except IP-address - and all three in the remote bridge list; AP mode = Hybrid) disturbs the correct working of the WDS. Many ping time-outs, cannot open the web page of the wireless points only the wired AP, etc.
The AP's are placed in a triangle and all three have contact with each other.
Can this be the problem? Are they to close to each other?
How can i solve this?
Hi,
Before I had come across the WL-500G, I was considering two modified WRT54g for the same purpose, but it seems as though the feature set on the 500g is far superior, not to mention better speed and range.
Now, I'm considering purchasing two WL-500G to use for WDS to transparently bridge two ethernet networks that are in two appartments about 150meters (500feet) apart, and I would ideally like to get 10mbit/s or more. I am willing to use special antenna for this purpose. I am wondering what kind of speeds people have been getting from the WL-500G in WDS mode. Are there any advantages of not using hybrid mode? Also how reliable is the WDS connection? Any other information related to this is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Romeus
wds is reliable, i am using it in a bureau. speed is at least 2 Mbit (thats what i have in mind), had never made speed checks so sorry about that.
only problem i have is that i dont get any connection between 2x wl-500g in wpa mode. wds with wep is workin but not with wpa
maybe someone else has wds with wpa running, he could give me a hint
yes use custom 1.8.1.7-2a or 1.8.1.7-3 should fit as welllQuote:

Have anyone got the same problem?
Or solution?

Can I input this into a script or firmware?
Which settings are you using in the "Wireless" - "Advanced -menu"?Quote:

Hello,
I've just bought a WL-500g (btw, it's great!!! :)
After reading this forum, I was able to use it in client mode, and configured it to connect to a remote AP... Very cool...
So my question is: Is it possible to configure this router to act as a bidireccional repeater (WDS?). This way, I could connect to the Asus with a wireless card, and all packets would be forwarded to the remote AP.
(btw, the remote AP is a 3Com)
(I'm still a bit lost in the web interface, so any help would be perfect...)
thanks.
Well, WDS is explained in the users manual, so yes that might be possible if the WDS solution of the Asus and 3Com router are compatible.
Also, if you type WDS in the search, you will find some info about it on this forum.
:)
This is what I did in the Web Interface (and it didn't work...):
--------------------------------------
in: Wireless - Interface
set SSID and channel, same as the remote AP
in: Wireless - Bridge
APmode: Hybrid
Remote Bridge List: XXXXXXXXXXXX (mac of remote address)
in: Wireless - Advanced
Extended Mode: "AP or WDS"
---------------------------------------
What else needs to be done?
How can I confirm that the wl500g is comunicating with the remote AP?
Thanks...
you have to do the same at the remote AP, if the remote AP does NOT support WDS or can't be set into WDS or HYBRID mode you will not be able to use WDS.Quote:

Using custom 1.8.1.7-2a, WPA-PSK/TKIP
I'm trying to get WDS on two units running with WPA-PSK - WEP is no problems but like others (Wisi) I cant get WDS running with WPA-PSK - can you please list your config in a bit more detail? I've tried all the options of power on/off and using the same/different SSID's but nothing works.....Quote:

I have to test further on WEP, TKIP seperated and AES seperated..
yes, looks like this. But I've already fixed radius, so probably wds is also fixable. Please try wds with WEP only and if it works, than I could try adjusting some shit in this code (I'm already had an idea).
WDS using WEP 128bit works fine as expected..
I currently own a WL-500g and I was thinking about buying a Belkin F5D7230-4 because I wanted to see how different these two products are. After evaluating the 7230, I would like to put it to good use. Has anyone tried to bridge the Belkin F5D7230-4 and the Asus WL-500g products together using the WDS function? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
WDS is only guranteed to work between Asus devices, i think other devices with boradcom chipsets like linksys could work also, but you have to try it. Dont know about the Belkin, is it the one with USB2.0 Ports ??
Greets
Nope, I don't believe this version has any USB ports.

Thanks for the reply. If anyone else has had experience with it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
yesterday I bridged an smc2804 to asus, and it works very good :D. I have no experiences with belkin yet ;)
I've read a few post about WDS and bridge connection with asus but I have to admit that I'm really lost :((
I have a wl500 (running 1.8.1.7-CR3) upstairs connected to the Internet through an wired adsl modem. This wl500 serves a wired network with one desktop and a wireless network with two laptop and one media center desktop downstairs with a private DHCP class C network (192.168.0.x)
As I just got a wl-hdd (upgraded to 1.2.3.0) today and since the wireless network downstairs is not very good (Windows wifi systray icons says 18/24Mbps), I was thinking installing my wl-hdd as a wifi repeater downstairs, to get the max power downstairs either with the desktop or the laptop
I've tried to bridge wl-hdd and wl500 together with no results. Here is the configuration I've made :
- Same SSID on both wl-hdd and wl500
- Same WPA-PSK TKIP/AES Key
- Same channel
- Add MAC of wl-hdd in wl500 bridge list and vice-versa
- add mac of wl-hdd in wl500 'allow mac list' and vice versa
- disable dhcp on wl-hdd
- set a fixed IP in my C class network on wl-hdd, with wl500g as the gateway
-disable client mode on wl-hdd and set to not become an AP
and the result is that all downstairs boxes still connect to the wl500g and are unable to ping wl-hdd
What's wrong doctor ?
Hi,
I think you should set the wl-hdd AP to true. Also, it is not required for both devices to have the same SSID (so you can track to which AP (wl500g or wl-hdd) your clients actually attach to).
Does this cure the problem patient? :)
please try first the WL-HDD-1.8.1.9CRx firmware
perhaps WDS is still broken in wl-hdd firmware, try to use WEP that should confirm it as well
Okay, here is our set up.
WL-500G (#1) connected to a fixed IP connection, and connected to a Comp VIA 10/100 LAN cable. Everything working fine here so far as the wired comp has no problems connecting to the internet. Set it Hybrid, with DHCP enabled, channel 1, MAC of WL-500G (#2) punched in, etc.
WL-500G (#2) set with the same SSID as #1, DHCP disabled, MAC of #1 punched in, Allow anonymous Connections = Yes, Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List = Yes, etc. The IP for the router is currently set as the same, but I have tried different ones for each unit and still #2 won't redristribute the signal and internet connection from #1. If anybody has a step by step FAQ or info on how exactly to set up WDS for these units I would greatly appreciate it. Ultimately what we want is for #1 to house the internet connection, share it wirelessly and via wired connections, and for #2 to act as a repeater for #1 wirelessly, wired doesn't matter on #2 for us. Thanks for any help you give me. I've searched through the ASUS pages and this forum and tried a variety of things over two weeks and still haven't found a stable way for these systems to work. Thanks again for any help you might give. If you need any more information, ask and I'll tell you. Thanks.
