WG103 Bridging

Hello!

I'm having trouble with bridging of two WG103.

I get a couple of pings to go through but most of the time i doesn't work. If I reset the devices and reconfigures them it works until I restart one of the devices. The lateset firmware in both devices. I have tried to go on different channels without luck.

Any ideas or do I have to buy something else that works better?

Best regards //Fredrik

    Thank you for answering. I have already tried that with the same result. Everything looks fine until one of the ap's get rebooted. Then nothing and the only thing that helps is factory reset.

    I will never ever again recommend any netgear wireless products. From now on Cisco is the only thing I will work with. You really get what you pay for.
