Hi you need to flash to the latest build of 1.9 from here:
v ... =14&t=8765

With the build of the downloads page your n600 will not work as a bridge. I had the same thing happen to me with my n750. If you cant download the hole torrent let me no and I can give you a dropbox link.

Ok, thanks. Was about to say, I'm missing a stupid setting or something cause I did everything. I got the whole download, will flash it soon.

Got it working. Strength is crap so far. This house must be painted with lead! Gonna try putting it in an upstairs window. 10ft from the back door now and still lose it around the barn 20 yards from the back porch. I may have to invest is some long cable and run it out there as a wired repeater if I can do that without putting the Aaris in bridge mode.

Switched it to the 2.4 band, works great. Put the repeater on my back porch when we're hanging out back at the barn on the weekends.

Ok, back at this one again. Got a new router from Spectrum and changed the network name. Logged into Mynet n600 and went to Connection. Hit scan for wifi networks. My network name doesn't come up. Just "Unkown network, 46% strength 5ghz. I'm assuming that's mine, but why no network name or 2.4 band? Tried locking it into that 5ghz and it popped up WEP Hex Key box. Tried my password and gives me "Error in WEP Hex Key". Stumped on this one. Trying to get my repeater back up.
