hi,
i have installed latest firmware.
when i connect to ssid for client-acces all is working. dhcp is assigned from dhcp-server.
but when client is connected to bridge, than dhcp is not working. the request are not sent over the bridge.
With static IP all is working.
AP1 and AP2 are bridged with WDS -> DHCP-Request ends at AP2 (checked with wireshark and mirrorport)
DHCP-Server --- Switch --- AP1 ....... AP2 --- Switch --- Client
AP1 as AccessPoint -> DHCP is working
DHCP-Server --- Switch --- AP1 ....... Client

May you be able to try a link test?

Note: You should be able to ping the IP address of both APs from a connected client. Failure to ping one of the APs means that the wireless signal is not traversing the bridge. Failure to ping both IP addresses means that the clients is not connected correctly.

yes, the bridge is up. i can ping the client (with configured static ip) behind the bridge from dhcp-server. with static ip all is fine. but the client got no ip address from dhcp when set to dynamic. the dhcp-request are eaten by one of the bridge-members.

Hi,
the Link-Test from AP2 to AP1 was successfull. Linktest from AP1 to AP2 not.
could it be that link-test was not successfull because AP1 is Bridge and also Accesspoint togehter, while AP2 is configured as Bridge only? on AP1 i got message that all client have to be disconnected for link-test. maybe the bridge is disconnected too?
