DGND3700 and WG102, with a switch
I have a DGND3700 N600 adsl router, attached to a network switch on the ground floor of my home, the switch and adsl are working great, fast browsing for 7 wired devices at gigabit speed, great wifi f...
Thanks, that makes sense.
So am i on the right track here, I set the DGND3700 to an ip of 192.168.1.1
I reserve one main address for the WG102 of lets say 192.168.1.255 to its mac address
Sill on the DGND3700 I set the "Enable Wireless Repeating Function (2.4Ghz b/g/n)" with the "Wireless Base Station" radio button checked and enter the mac address of my WG102 into "Repeater MAC Address 1"
Set the wifi SSID, and preshared key, and channel number to be exactly the same on both routers.
Set the "DHCP Server" on the DGND3700 to a range of 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254
Connect the 16 port switch I have to it for all the wired computers, and set all the wireless devices to see the DGND3700 router, and this works because I did not check the option in the repeater screen to "Disable Wireless Client Association"
Now I go upstairs and set the WG102 to an ip of 192.168.1.254.
Set the wifi SSID, and preshared key, and channel number to exactly the same as the DGND3700.
Go to the "Advanced Access Point Settings" area and check "Enable Wireless Bridging and Repeating"
Select the radio button for "Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge"
Check the option "Enable Wireless Client Association"
And enter the MAC address of the DGND3700 in the "Remote MAC Address" field.
Connect the wired pc to it and any wifi devices should also work when the signal is better on the WG102
The computers that connect to the WG102 will still get their DHCP stuff from the DGND3700.
How does that sound, like I am mad, or is that perfect. Will it work even though the WG102 is not wireless N.
