WDS (Hybrid) problems....
Hi
Since upgrading from .6a to .6b I havent been able to make my WL500g deluxe connect as a WDS client.
It simply dosnt connect, even though I do have the correct MAC (the mac of my primary router) in the list, and the correct WEP key and channel selected.
I have tried to downgrade to .6a again, but the problem seem to persist regardless.....I dont know if there is any kind of NVRAM setting that is faulty after running .6b.....even though I did reset to factory defaults.
Does anyone have simular problems?
WPA + WDS device interoperability success stories... with Airports?
I have been using WEP + WDS for some time now between 2 Airports (Extreme + Express) and 2 Asuses (WLHDD and WL500G).
After witnessing the Whoppix demonstration I felt it necessary to upgrade to WPA. Changing the Airports over to WPA + WDS was a breeze, but I am unable to get either of the Asus devices to join the network. I have spent countless hours now reading and experimenting but to no avail.
Are there any success stories out there of Asus devices using WPA and WDS with non Asus devices? specifically with Airports? Would it be worth my time trying out OpenWRT?
WDS setup with ASUS AP WL-330
Hi!
as per an earlier thread I am still trying to set up a WDS using my WL500g and the WL330. :mad: :mad:
Following the instructions on this bord and on tha ASUS pages I can get to the poin where I can connect the router and the AP. Looking in the AP settings I can see the router being assiciated. (an information which I cannot find in the router setting:() .
As of today I can ping the router and the AP beeing connected to either the two WLANs (I use two different SSIDs). Unfortunately being connected to the AP network I cannot access the WAN and DHCP does not work. :mad: Being connected to the router I can Access the WAN and I get an IP from it's DHCP. :)
Is there anyone out there who has a idea which setting needs to be revised so that I can access the WAN thru the WDS (in other words via the WDS thru the router) beeing connected to the AP?
Thanks for any hint!

Unable to reconnect my wl-500gx using WDS to my Linksys WRT54G
How do I troubleshoot my WDS setup?
I originally got my wl-500gx configured as a WDS-Only client with the default firmware to a Linksys WRT54G (also default firmware). But I could only get it to work using Open or WEP security, which made me switch to Oleg’s great firmware. (Also to get an easy Samba configuration).
After uploading 1.9.2.7-6b I got WDS with WPA-PSK working in less than 2 minutes – great! :-)
But then I had a lot of problems getting Samba to work, maybe because I’m currently using NTFS on my usb disc… Different problem, different story… Then main problem is that I suddenly lost all contact to my wl-500gx which forced me to reset to factory settings, which I didn’t do before uploading Oleg’s firmware. Well, I just configured it again, but I simply can’t get it to connect to my Linksys anymore. Now I even have changed my Linksys from using WPA-PSK to Open, but I still can’t get it to connect. Before the reset I could always see a line in the WirelessLog window like this: “Connect <SSID>” or “Connecting <SSID>” which made it easy to check if it was connected or not. Now it just shows this:
>Mode : WDS Only
>Channel : 1
>
>Stations List
>----------------------------------------
I simply can’t see that it even tries to connect.
All my setup is done using GUI, so please be very specific if I need to use SystemCommands or telnet.
My setup is like this:
Operation Mode:
Access Point
Wireless-Interface:
SSID: <Same as Linksys>
Channel: 1 <Same as Linksys>
Wireless mode: Auto
AuthenticationMode: Open or Share key
WEP Encryption: None
WirelessBridge:
AP Mode: WDS Only
Channel: 1
Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List: Yes
Allow anonymous: No
Remote Bridge List: <MAC of my Linksys as shown in Linksys status page>
WirelessAdvanced
Extended Mode: AP or WDS
Enable Radio: Yes :-)
IP Config – LAN
Host Name: dot2
Get IP Automatically: No
IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1 (Ip of Linksys)
The AIR led is on and flashes once in a while..
You can see my SystemLog right here: http://bassebo.frac.dk/PDJ-WL500-Log.txt
Any help much appreciated.
PS: I actually thought I had a wl-500g de-luxe, but was unable to load Oleg’s firmware until I tried the wl-500gx edition. Can I have a wl-500gx even though it says wl-500g on the unit?
wds with wpa encryption [solved with 1.9.5.0]
some time ago I tried to get wds with wpa encryption workin on my two asus wl-500g
after trying some of the firmwares I was so annoyed that I used wep 128 with mac filter and it ran stable, I didnt' get wpa working.
but now I would be very interested in getting to know if someone uses wds with wpa encryption in any newer firmware
if yes, let me know which firmware and if you had difficulties to get it workin
Would be really nice to upgrade my network to a more secure state :)
