Bridging two DIR-825's
« on: April 17, 2010, 05:13:34 PM »
Is it possible to bridge two 825 units?  I'm looking to connect two together on my DirecTv HD-DVRs but bridging these, something I would expect to be a standard mode, is not forthcoming to me.

I would appreciate any assistance, even if it's bad news.

I'm running hardware version B1, firmware version 2.02NA on both.  I hope I don't have to take one back and buy something else.

Found the answer.  The D-Link software is not capable of it.  I needed to install DD-WRT, which was actually very simple for this router.  I've been using DD-WRT for years on my Linksys WRT54 series routers, didn't even know there was firmware for the DIR-825 HW:B1

If you're looking for some powerful software, look at DD-WRT.  If D-Link comes out with a working client bridge then I will return to that firmware.

I'm using this for my DirecTv HD-DVR's for media sharing.  Works like a champ on HD programming, no drops at all!
