Dear all,
First of all, apologies I'm a complete networking novice but desperately willing to learn. Apologies for mistakes in terminology, I hope my problem is clear.
I'm trying to extend the range of my home router wlan (D-link DR-615, as of yet not openwrt supported) with a TP-Link TLWR841N. Seeing that WDS out of the question with the D-link, I tried the Routed client using masquerade howto. And I managed to succesfully get the TP-link (client) connect with my AP.
Unfortunately it didn't seem to have the result I hoped for, it seems my computer still connects to the WLAN interface of my AP and not my client. While my client succesfully connects to the AP and gets a DHCP lease.
Here is my config, I hope it is sufficient.
network.loopback=interface
network.loopback.ifname=lo
network.loopback.proto=static
network.loopback.ipaddr=127.0.0.1
network.loopback.netmask=255.0.0.0
network.lan=interface
network.lan.ifname=eth0
network.lan.type=bridge
network.lan.proto=static
network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.1.1
network.lan.netmask=255.255.255.0
network.wan=interface
network.wan.proto=dhcp

wireless.@wifi-iface[0].network=wan

wireless.@wifi-iface[0].mode=sta
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key=xxxxxxxAlso:
client can ping AP
AP cannot ping client
computer cannot ping client
computer can ping AP
If anyone can point me to the right track, thanks in advance.
