Wireless Bridge/Repeater

Introduction

This mode is for creating a wireless extension for your local Network.

Wireless Bridge/Repeater mode in Gargoyle uses relayd. This is also known as a Routed Client with relayd (Pseudobridge). The relayd package helps to implement a bridge-like behaviour with DHCP and Broadcast relaying comparable to the proprietary Broadcom WET mode.

Configuration

This example is for the Gargoyle relayd router. Connect to the SSID of the wireless AP router using known connection parameters.

Relayd Router connection

When the save button is pressed you will loose router connection. If the wrong configuration is entered it is possible that the only option to connect/recover the relayd router is a “failsafe reset”

If the configuration is correct the new IP address for the relayd router will be in the DHCP table of the AP router under the name “unknown”

Caveat

Devices can only access to the internet if Enforce DHCP assignments is unticked.
