DIR-655 Won't Acknowledge Existence Of Client Bridge
Jun 23, 2011
I've recently purchased a Buffalo WHR-HP-GN flashed with the latest version of DD-WRT with plans involving its use as a client bridge and I have had nothing but problems trying to get this thing connected to my wireless network in client bridge mode. The closest I've gotten to getting this thing connected to my network is by setting the Buffalo to 'G-Only' mode and setting the security to 'WPA2-Mixed' with 'TKIP-only' for the encryption, however I can only ping the D-link via my notebook and the DD-WRT web interface; no other devices nor the router can ping the laptop or the WHR (Neither of them are listed in the 'connected clients' page on the D-link's web interface). The Buffalo works brilliantly when pairing it with an old WRT54G that I've dug out of the closet and a friend's WZR-HP-300NH.
With the WHR-HP-GN, so far I have:
1. Flashed the Buffalo 'Professional' (really DD-WRT with their own branding) firmware to the latest DD-WRT release compatible with the router.
2. Flashed the firmware to the second newest release of DD-WRT.
3. Flashed the firmware back to stock, then to Buffalo's alpha release of their 'Professional' firmware, then to their 'User-Friendly' (read: proprietary) firmware.
4. Flashed the firmware back to the latest DD-WRT version.
5. Set the wireless properties to 'G-only', encryption to WPA2/WPA-PSK TKIP (the closest I've been to connecting this bridge to the network, though no other device including the DIR-655 can see the bridge or the laptop it's connected to).
6. Same as #5 except tweaking with different combinations of wireless modes, channel widths, and security + encryption schemes (WPA only, WPA2 only, TKIP or AES, no security).
With the DIR-655, so far I've tried
1. Power cycling it.
2. Flashing the firmware from 1.21 to the latest (I think 1.35NA).
3. Falling back to 'G-only' mode with various encryption schemes (including none).
4. Set it to 'N-only' with various encryption schemes.
5. Meddled with different channels and channel widths.
That's about it. I really don't think there's anything wrong with the WHR as it works great with different routers/APs. Maybe I've just experienced my first caveat with owning a router that was manufactured two years before 802.11n was ratified as a standard?
Computer got bad virus (the FBI one on the news) so after every attempt to eradicate it failed, I did a fresh install of Windows 7 onto the computer. However for some reason it won't even acknowledge that it has a Network Adapter. When I go to Driver Devices, there is no Network Adapter to even click on to see what the adapter is so I know what kind of driver to install.
So being an optimist I installed several drivers and nothing has worked. Its set on cable connection and I can't get it to acknowledge its wi-fi. I haven't tried plugging it straight into the modem yet. That's my next step.
I recently discovered the dd-wrt world and am attempting to make a wireless adapter for my Xbox360 using a D-Link DIR615 rev C1 router I purchased and linking it to my home wireless network router (also a D-Link DIR615 but rev B2). I successfully loaded the dd-wrt firmware onto the C1 router and have attempted (multiple times) to set it up for use with my 360 following the instructions posted here at the dd-wrt wiki posting. However, after following the instructions to the letter I have been unsuccessful. After setting it up I can get the router (connected via ethernet to my laptop) to "connect" but it lists the connection as connected to a "unidentified network" with no network access.
I recently downloaded DDWRT to my DIR-615. I was trying to change my DIR-615 from a router to a client bridge but I was not able to get any internet connection on the device after I change the settings.
I am not able to share files with computers past my Client Bridge. I can see one computer past the bridge in my network and two more can see but all have internet, but still can not access ant to get to their shared folders. Do not know if operating systems would made a difference, I main computer run Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. all the rest run XP Home. Have two computers before the bridge no problem there.
I have replaced my main router WRT300N running dd-wrt with the a stock E4200 and an old WRT54G aslo running dd-wrt configured for wireless client bridge. Now that I'm learning more about 802.11N, I was wondering what client can I use to achieve 5ghz simultaneously radio transmission since my current setup cannot do this in the 5ghz band. Can the E3000 be ran in wireless client bridge mode, if not what product can provide this? On the other thought am I understanding MIMO?
Old setup: 802.11G 2.4ghz WRT54G ))) ((( WRT300N ->ISP
Current Setup: 802.11N 2.4ghz MIMO? WRT300N ))) ((( E4200 ->ISP

I have some linksys router that I used as wireless client bridge. I have main router that is connected to Internet and linksys router which is connected to main router's WiFi. Linksys router acts as client bridge connecting LAN devices to main router. Now I own TL-WDR3600 and I would like to replace linksys router. How can I achieve the same on TP-Link router? I don't see any option for setting wireless operation mode.
The goal is to make a 877W to work as a wireless client of dlink dir320 and brigde the LAN&WLAN so than the LAN clients of 877W could take DHCP from Dlink 320 directly.
What kind of hardware are people using for mobile bridges? I have not had good luck with Cisco 1242's in bridge mode with mobile-client enabled. The only reason we're using the Cisco access point over standard industrial bridges is because we need to manually forward the mac addresses of the devices behind the bridge. These are being installed on robotic forklifts. They have a generic ethernet scrolling marquee installed that does not maintain any active connections and drops from the fowarding table in the bridge if not staticly configured. I'm looking for an alternative because the roaming is not nearly as smooth as it should be.
Who knows the best version (DD-WRT or other) to repeat the wireless signal with a E3000?At worst, a client bridge mode could be sufficient for my needs...
I need an AP that can run in client bridge mode. By that I mean a device that can be connected to a PC via the ethernet cable and provide wireless access because these older devices don't have wireless network cards?I looked at the WAP321 but it just uses a wizard. I need a device with IOS so that the PSK keys can be encrypted when viewing. I need to have the config backed up and the PSK can't be in clear text.
Do the problem caused by the modems itself or it just sign of faulty Ethernet switch (using 20 port Allied Telesis ethernet switch). Sometimes I cannot connect to internet due to "unidentified network" buy i can resolve this problem by restarting my modem + switch.
i have a question about tunneling a software EasyVPN client to a client ASA Network. It looks like this:
EasyVPN Server 192.168.202.0/24 Network extension mode to Client EasyVPN ASA 192.168.1.0/24 This works fine in both directions. But now i want to connect the client ASA network via EasyVPN software client from outside. The user are already able to connect to the ASA Server on its static outside IP obtaining an IP from a 192.168.21.0/24 pool. This works fine. But how am i able to connect to the 192.168.1.0/24 network from this client?
how to make the java SSH thin client applet bigger in SSL VPN Clientless portal?It works and all that but the window is literally half the size of the monitor and unworkable. You can't even hit tab! (tab moves focus around the browser...)I am using the latest java applet (Oct 2012) and ASA OS 8.4(5)
I have a setup involving 3 clustered AP541 running off a sg300 switch. The wireless network setup VAP has one entry for vlan 1 with station isolation disabled. Is there anything more I need to do to allow one wireless client to ping another wireless client - am I missing something - i assume this is possible.Needless to say wireless clients can ping non wireless clients and vice versa quite happily. Everything is running with factory default settings more or less.
I have a new internet connection. It is displaying lights for DSL, PWR, INET, WLAN.I can connect but it always reads the message "No Internet Access"I went to the service provider to get this fixed. And they created bridge mode through LAN so I could connect using a username and password. (create a new connection > broadband ). But I innocently pressed reset button. I don't want to go back to the service provider to setup the bridge mode or ability to connect by a username/password through LAN.

So I have an RV120W as my "main router" but I can't get a wire into the garage to get a couple of computers in there access to the internet / LAN. I have a WCG200 cable gateway at my disposal, with a built in 4port switch and wondered if I can configure it's WLAN to connecto the RV120W SSID and use wireless as my link between my garage network and the rest of the house LAN? WCG200 isn't going to connect at blinding speeds, which I'm ok with, I just wanted to know if it's possible?
I already know how to bridge the lan and wifi connection so I can plug in an ethernet cable from the laptop to my desktop and get internet that way, but is there a way to actually turn the laptop into a router when it's connected to the router, wirelessly? I tried using ad hoc but it looks like that only works if I'm directly connected to the router.
I'm trying to share an internet connection from one laptop to another laptop but not allowed to do this wirelessly. I only have 1 ethernet port in my room. So I was wondering is it possible to plug laptop #1 into the ethernet port then bridge this connection via a usb to lan adapter.
i am using windows XP and i want to make my laptop spread wifi signal, well, i don't know how to describe, English is not my language,hope you don't mind, some sort of input in wire network, output is wifi, i follow the instruction: Open Start-Run- ncpa.cpl - Enter Right click LAN and Wireless network icons, click Bridge Connections. Appear Network Bridge icon in Network Connections. Right click Wireless Network icon, Properties, click Advanced. Tick "Computer to Computer..." and "Automatically...." then Close. Back to Wireless Network Connection Properties, click Add. + Network name (SSID): abc + Network Authentication: Shared + Untick "The key is provided....." +Type password (5 characters) Click tab Connection, tick "Connect when this...", Done. Open Network Connection, right click Wireless network icon, click View Available Wireless Networks So far so fine, i can see my ad hoc network, but the problem is i can not connect to it, i click that network, click Connect, type the password, then it shows the connecting window in about 4 mins and then disappear and i am back to part "Cick View Available Wireless Networks"
How to set the WNR2000v3 into Bridge Mode. I can not find instructions on it in the user manual or the NetGear website. And Google.com has turned up not valuable results either.
I have the WRN2000v3 plugged into another router via Ethernet. I basically want to "dumb down' the WNR2000v3 into a basic Ethernet switch.
I need to figure out a network setup for my house between modem connected to one wireless bridge connected to another wireless router connected to wired router.The reason why I decided to make this evil setup is due to insufficient range between my wireless router and desktop pc upstairs. However, in the room next to it I have a very good wireless signal and a possibility to bridge it to wired network installed in my house. But in order to do it I guess I need to bridge that wireless signal via wireless router or bridge to wired network. [code]
I have a bluray player that I want to get internet to that is downstairs. I would like to use my old Linksys WRT54g ver 2 router to do this. I just put DD-WRT firmware on it. I have a Linksys E1000 as my primary router. All I want to do is be able to to put the Secondary router (WRT54G) downstairs near the bluray player and run an ethernet cable from the lan port on the router to the ethernet port on the bluray player to get internet access. What is the best way to do this? Client bridge or Client mode?
I have 2 routers and would like to create a wireless bridge/repeater between them so i can extend my wifi range. Is it possible to do this? and How would I do it.
I was just wondering how to wirelessly bridge 2 routers so that I don't have to drill a big hole through the wall!! I have a netcomm router which is going to be the receiving modem and a net gear modem to transmit the wifi.
