Extending Wireless Range with WG602v4
Hi there, hope someone can help. I have a DG834 ADSL router (not wireless) attached to a WG602v4 configured in Access Point mode, with a static IP address outside the DHCP scope, broadcasting the SSI...
Thank you for confirming that I am approaching the configuration in the correct way. I wasn't sure if I needed to have the 'master' units configured as multi-point bridge with client association, and the secondary unit as a single point bridge with client association, but that didn't work either.
I will try with no encryption and see what happens.
I did try setting a static IP on a client, I could ping the secondary access point (the one configured as a repeater) but nothing else. The secondary unit has a static IP, and does show as a connected station on the master unit, and I can ping the secondary unit if I associate with the master unit, but I can't ping the master unit if I associate with the secondary. Might it make a difference if I set the secondary unit to get its IP address via DHCP? It just feels like the second unit isn't bridging (and routing) across the interfaces correctly.
