Which WLAN Bridge should I choose?

[SimonSt]

I want to establish a WLAN Bridge like I sketched it here: http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/8652/wlanbridge.png

My research brought me to four different solutions:

1. Routed Client Mode (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clien ... lient.mode)
2. Bridged Client Mode (with relayd) (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clien ... ith.relayd)
3. WDS (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clien ... .using.wds)
4. ARP-NAT with Gargoyle (ebtables)

I want the WLAN speed between both Routers as high as possible (NAS on one site and clients connecting to it on the other) and WPA2. It should be possible to exchange the WR1043ND which is connected to the modem with a different Router (without OpenWrt or Gargoyle) in future without losing the WLAN bridge. Am I right that this speaks against WDS?

Which is the best solution for me?

Thanks a lot,

Simon

It's working, thanks a lot!

Just one last question: WLAN clients connected to my main router (running stock firmware) are listed on the bridge router (running Gargoyle) under "Status" - "Connected Hosts" - "Hosts With Active Connections". They are listed without "Host MAC" but how does the Gargoyle router know about them?

Thanks again,

Simon

Probably some form of magic or wicca.
