Which WLAN Bridge should I choose?
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:11 pm
I want to establish a WLAN Bridge like I sketched it here: http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/8652/wlanbridge.png
My research brought me to four different solutions:
1. Routed Client Mode (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clien ... lient.mode)
2. Bridged Client Mode (with relayd) (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clien ... ith.relayd)
3. WDS (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clien ... .using.wds)
4. ARP-NAT with Gargoyle (ebtables)
I want the WLAN speed between both Routers as high as possible (NAS on one site and clients connecting to it on the other) and WPA2. It should be possible to exchange the WR1043ND which is connected to the modem with a different Router (without OpenWrt or Gargoyle) in future without losing the WLAN bridge. Am I right that this speaks against WDS?
Which is the best solution for me?
Thanks a lot,
Simon
