Troubleshooting wireless client-bridged networks between two DD-WRT routers?
- by KronoS
I recently purchased a Buffalo N600 wireless router which came with DD-WRT pre-installed. I want to take my old wireless router a Linksys WRT54GL, also with DD-WRT pre-installed, and use it as a wireless bridge for my HTPC and Blu-Ray Player in the other room. I other words, I'm trying to connect to WIRED networks via the wireless on the routers.
I followed eactly the instruction from DD-WRT's manual for 'Client Bridged' however I'm still not able to connect to two routers correctly, when the encryption is enabled (WPA2-Personal Mixed) however I am able to connect the two routers when there is NO encryption.
I've checked, double checked, and triple checked that EVERYTHING is the same on BOTH routers:
Routers 1 & 2
Encryption: WPA2-Personal Mixed
Wireless Mode: G-Only
Wireless Channel: 6
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Subnet: 192.168.1.0/254
SSID: Krono$
Primary Router #1 (Buffalo N600)
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Firewall: Enables w/ defaults
DCHP: Enabled as DHCP Server
Secondary Router #2 (Linksys WRT54GL)
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Firewall: Disabled as per DD-WRT instructions
I'm looking for any configurations that I may have missed, or settings that may need to happen in order for this work.
