Suggestion: Client Bridge AP

Post by KingViper »

I just moved and have 3 routers running Gargoyle at home. 2 are set as client bridges and repeating my wireless. I wanted to setup the SSID's all the same, but when I do so, the client bridges will try connecting to each other since the signal is stronger. I thought it would be ok since as long as 1 of the two is connecting to the main router I'd be fine, but client bridge mode doesn't work through another client bridge.

I know a simple fix is to change the SSID of the main router, but would it be possible that when we select a router as the AP for a client bridge, that it would only connect to that router by means of the MAC address or something?

Thanks!

In 1.4.1 - have you tried the AP+WDS mode?

WDS is a much easier config to maintain

And you can keep all the same SSID that way
