A Question about BRIDGING MODE
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2011 4:18 pm
Hello,
i set up my TP-LINK TL-WR741ND (Atheros) on gargoyle successfully.
And now i want to use it as a wireless bridge because i have no wire to
My printer, reciever and ps3.
I have chosen following settings:
Connection -> Basic -> Wireless Bridge
New Ip for my tp 10.0.0.140
Ip for my gateway (modem) 10.0.0.138
Bridge to lan / no repeating
setup up my wireless network and my wpa2 key.
My tp is now shown as gargoyle in my wifi.
But the LAN Ports are not available -> but if i want to use another access point/ethernet hub for using ethernet how it works correctly?
And what is if my wifi on tp has an error how can i reset for using ethernet on tp - if disabled? With reset button on hardware?
How many ports are available in wireless bridging mode on my tp?
think only 1 Port - or?
Must i plug a switch behind?
Do i really need a switch? Or is there another possibility because my tp has 4 ports...
THX
My topology is
Modem/gateway - 1st floor
No wire to the 2nd floor
Tp link wireless gateway - 2nd floor
