Bridge and Repeater Devices

[anitgandhi]

I posted before, but it was long, and I've narrowed it down.

Main Router: 192.198.0.1
Gargoyle Router as Bridge+Repeater: DIR 601, 1.5.10, IP address: 192.168.0.2.

I want everything on the same subnet, same SSID. Everything is fine, except for the following issue:

Basically, the Ethernet devices connected to the bridge can't ping the WiFi devices connected to the repeater, and vice versa. All devices on the network get Internet, and Windows network shares are surprisingly not affected.

I noticed this when I was trying to access AirDroid running on my phone (a WiFi device connected to the repeater), via my desktop (an Ethernet device connected to the bridge).

Can I add a static route or something to fix this?

Thanks.

What is your main router?

What firmware is it running?

If your main router has a DMZ IP setting, put it as 192.168.0.2

Main Router is a Linksys WRT310N, running latest stock firmware.

Just tried the DMZ option, it didn't work, same issue continues. Specifically, when I ping my phone (192.168.0.107, wirelessly connected to repeater) from my desktop (192.168.0.101, wired to bridge), it says "Reply from 192.168.0.101: destination host unreachable"

it was based on this that i'm coming to the conclusion that it's an issue with either my desktop, more likely just the bridge/repeater.

I suspect it might be your main router AP

You should consider flashing DD-WRT on your Linksys WRT310N

I'm running DD-WRT on it and it runs much better than stock

Also a lot more options and usually easier to configure

I have considered it before, but I will reconsider. Are there any heating issues? I've had to restart it once myself because of heat, and the DD-WRT site says some people had some issues on V1 version (which I have).

I'm just wondering, based on what do you think that it's the main AP? Not saying you're wrong, just trying to understand the logic behind why it's the main AP. Personally, I thought it'd be the bridge/repeater because the issue is isolated to the bridge devices not being able to talk to the repeater devices.

Thanks for the help!

I think you'll have to follow the steps here:

Looks like you might need to install the relayd package
