How to hook up two Dlink DGL-4300, one as router, other as wireless bridge?
« on: January 26, 2009, 04:36:21 AM »
Hi,

I have two Dlink DGL-4300's. One it hooked up to the Internet, and working fine as a normal wireless router. On this I'm using WEP security and have WDS enabled, with the MAC address on the other router configured...

The other router I want to act as a wireless brigde / switch. It has a two machines connected to it on LAN ports - a MAC and a Drobo NAS device - connected the two up like this to use GB Ethernet - I want it to bridge all traffic not between these two across to the first router, via wireless, but can't figure out how to do it using the DGL-4300 web GUI.

Things I've tried on the second router but no success yet;

- Basic Networking: Disable DHCP, assign static IP address 192.168.0.2
- Advanced wireless - enabled WDS, give it MAC address of the first router

Can't see anything else to get it to work in "bridge mode".

Firmware on both routers is DGL-4300-v1.9b08-20081015.bin

Any hints much appreciated.

That can not be done with those products. You'll need a DAP-1522.
