I have two RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN. One is my gateway router hanging off my main LAN . . . internet firewall, DHCP server, wireless AP. The second has been a separate AP on my office LAN. I'm relocating my office within wireless range of the gateway and want to use the two APs to wirelessly bridge the two LANs.
Ideally they're all on the same subnet and the gateway is DHCP server for everything. While they are bridging the two LANs I'd like them to both remain available as APs for wireless clients, same SSID preferred.
I'm more interested in stability of the connection than maximum bandwidth between the two. If it really simplifies things or makes the connection more stable, I'd be willing to sacrifice having a single subnet and DHCP server.
While the forums have many examples, I haven't found one that sounds exactly like what I want. Could you please offer pointers to relevant pages or advice on configuration? My main questions are:
1) How do I configure them to bridge to each other and remain APs for wireless clients?
2) How do I disable any firewall, nat, and dhcp on the office device?
Thanks much in advance.
