WR941ND in wireless bridge mode can't ping LAN devices
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 2:17 am
Hi everyone, I have a TP-LINK WR941ND ver.3.6 which works great with Gargoyle firmware as normal wireless client (I don't use AP functions), but when set in wireless bridge mode (without repeater activated) I simply cannot acces any device that is connected to the LAN ports of the client router; I am able to acces and ping the AP or any external IP adress from every device behind the wireless bridge client router, but I cannot acces or ping any device on the LAN (between them);
I am using GARGOYLE 1.4.0 and tried also a few newer versions 1.4.7 , 1.5.6 and 1.5.9 and my problem is the same;
I have to mention that my other router a Linksys WRT160NL based also on an Atheros platform works flawlessly regarding my problem with any GARGOYLE version (including 1.4.0) and I am able to see , access and ping any device connected to the LAN behind the router configured as a simple wireless bridge client (without repeater or WDS);
It is also worth mentioning that with DD-WRT firmware, in the same wireless bridge mode, the 941ND does not have this bug and also can ping any LAN device behind the router, so I don't think it is a hardware limitation of any kind;
Is there some package that is present in the WRT160NL firmware that I might/could install also on the WR941ND to add this functionality?
I am using 1.4.0 version on both routers because it is the last that gives me HT40 capability in client modes, with any other new version my routers (941ND and WRT160NL) simply cannot synchronize to turbo 2 channel HT 40 mode and use only 20 Mhz instead (I am using just client modes, I haven't tested AP functions)
Any advices are welcome
many thanks!
