[Solved] WZR-HP-G300NH (A0) - Wireless Bridge

[Arksine]

Hi all! First I'd just like to say that coming from DD-WRT to Gargoyle has been a great experience thus far on this router (WZR-HP-G300NH A0 on Gargoyle 1.5.6). I have it set up as a Wirless Client Bridge (no repeater), and all wired clients are connecting as expected and recieving dhcp leases from the main AP.

When setting up Garygole I noticed that the time wasn't retrived from NTP, but I didn't really think much of it. Later I SSHed into the bridge to update opkg and realized that the bridge itself couldn't access the WAN from the main AP. The bridge can ping any clients inside the LAN, but can't resolve DNS or ping IPs outside.

I'm guessing this is a configuration issue that needs to be corrected somewhere in /etc/config for the time being. I'd like for the bridge to be able to access the web (without breaking the excellent bridge functionality ), and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Perhaps in connection > basic > wireless bridge

did you set it to 'use gateway as dns server' ?

also if this doesn't work, you could always set some custom dns servers in there, such as opendns or google.

I'm such a moron. I had a typo in the gateway IP, but because DHCP was passed through from the main router it wasn't affecting clients wired to the bridge. I noticed it when attempting to add DNS servers manually as you suggested buddee. Thanks!

Thats ok, we all make mistakes, and like you said, just needed pointed in the right direction - glad you got it working.
