Topic: Wirelessly Bridged Routers on same Network?

The content of this topic has been archived on 31 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi All,

Here's my setup:

[PC1] + [XBOX] ---------------------- [WRT54GS (OpenWRT)] })})})})})})}) [DG834GT (Connection to ADSL Internet)] ---------------------- [PC2] + [PC3]


KEY:

---------- = Ethernet
)})})})} = Wireless

My Xbox and first PC are connected to the [WRT54GS] running OpenWRT via. ethernet. This is then connected to my Netgear [DG834GT] (stock netgear firmware) via. Wireless Client Bridge (the [WRT54GS] is in client mode). This is the router that has the connection to the internet. [PC2] and [PC3] are then connected via. Ethernet to the DG834GT.

[PC2] and [PC3] are both assigned IP addresses via. the [DG834GT]'s DHCP server, both have no problem seeing each other when placed on the same network (in this case network is MSHOME). However they cannot see [PC1] or [XBOX] when placed on the same network.

[PC1] + [XBOX] are both assigned IP addresses via. the [WRT54GS]'s DHCP server, both have no problem seeing each other when placed on the same network (in this case network is MSHOME). They cannot see [PC2] or [PC3] BUT have no problem accessing the [DG834GT] router config.

So my question is, how can I get everything in this network to see each other? I need at least the [WRT54GS] to be able to assign IPs via DHCP as this ensures that the KAI daemon I have running works properly.

Thanks in Advance.

Has anyone got any ideas? I still can't figure out what's up, even after much google searching...

Still haven't been able to fix this problem. It effectively means that the two networks are isolated from each other, How do I get them to see each other??

Hi,
I have more or less the same configuration except for PC1, PC1 is connected to the network wireless to the NETGEAR.
I successfully configured the Fonera with dd-wrt to allow my xbox to join the same network.
The xbox can see the other PC but the connection seams to be not very stable because I can stream less than 1 minute for video stream from my PC.
I' like to try openwrt on the fonera. Could you please tell me how to configure the Fonera in the same way you did?
Thank
Claudio
