i have connected two routers 951 (first is a Gateway.. second should be as a repeater) via wireless-rep to one another (first 951: wlan1 station pseudo/wlan2 internet - second 951 wlan1 station pseudo/wlan2 internet), have put in the second 951 in bridge wlan1, wlan2, eth2, eth3 and as dhcp-client on bridge. i get correct ip address on the bridge.. but if i try to connect with another laptop to the second 951 to wlan 2 internet.. i dont get any dhcp resp ip address.
Where is my logical error?
second thing, do i need to have two ROS devices in order to use wireless-rep part or can i have for example my ISP wlan router and connect it to the 951 with rep package?
This is what i did… on the first 951 i defined two wlan networks: first is ap bridge and the second is station bridge and on the second 951 vice versa.. first wlan is station bridge and the second is ap bridge…
so .. yes .. i’ve connected them as station bridge/ap bridge (wlan1/virtual ap) and on the other device also the same station bridge/ap bridge (wlan1/virtual ap). What i did also is that I used the same SSID for both ‘parts’.. station bridge/ap bridge (wlan1/virtual ap) on both devices.
in bridge i put wlan1/wlan2 (station bridge/ap bridge) and all eth ports. My dhcp client is also on bridge. In that way i got the ip address from the dhcp server.
My question is.. have I configured my AP devices in a proper way (station bridge/ap bridge (wlan1/virtual ap)) or I should not use the same SSID for both station bridge and wlan1?
I would say that it does not matter what ssid you use. The important is what is connected where and how. The ap bridge/station bridge mode together with bridging the interfaces and setting the ip configuration on the bridge level is correct approach.
