Wireless bridge

Post by dippa »

Hi,
how do I set up gargoyle so that I don't need a lan cable connected and extend the range of my wifi at home.

I've attempted to set up under basic setup, wireless bridge mode but everytime after I have changed the settings I'm not able to reach the modem via lan cable nor is the ssid broadcasted....

So I need a bit of help, below is from Ipconfig,

what do I enter for
Bridge IP
subnet mask is stil 255.255.255.0
AP/Gateway IP

SSID to join is that of my existing wireless lan - right? should it ask for the wep key?

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : lan
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80:d8b:2a0:25a:458%22
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.201
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : abc.com.au
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.7
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
