Repeater works in only one very limited setting

Post by WiFiWoes »

I have a TP-WR741ND v4 router set up with Gargoyle. I want to set it up as a client/bridge so that this secondary router can provide internet through both LAN and WiFi.

My computer dual boots two differents OS: Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) and Linux Mint 17 (Mate, 64 bit).

The router setup was done in Linux Mint and I managed to get internet through a LAN connection. However, this is not the case when I boot Windows. Moreover, after booting Windows, if I return to Linux, I have to reset the router. Otherwise, I will get no internet at all (the computer will not even communicate with the router without a hard reset).

Furthermore, even when I do have internet in Linux, I lose the connection as soon as I try to connect my phone (Nexus 4) through WiFi.

To sum up, the only time I have an internet connection is when:
1. using Linux;
2. Windows has not been used since the router's last reset; and
3. no devices are connected through WiFi.

Here are my relevant configuration files:

I think I solved the problem. I followed this guide in the wiki and Gargoyle is now working.

I've been able to connect my phone via WiFi and my PC (Linux) via ethernet.

I think the main problem was that I had both the primary router and the Gargoyle one on the same subnet (192.168.1.x). I switched Gargoyle to 192.168.0.1.

Will post again only if Windows 7 doesn't work.
