WAP11 – Bridge
I've setup two WAPs in Bridge mode and they work fine, at full speed. My guess is some parameter in the
setup. They must use the same channel, and have the remote MAC address correct to work.
I've had two WAP11s in Bridge mode. Works fine. But of course it's no longer an AP, just a bridge, so no
wireless clients are going to be serviced.
If you hooked a wire between the two networks, would it work? The reason for the question is that the
only thing the bridge does is provide a connection that acts like a wire.
1. Are both units on the same channel?
2. Did you fill in two MAC addresses: Each WAP11 gets the MAC address of the other unit ?
3. Do both units have the same ESSID text string, like "mybridge"
This is another (successful attempt) to bridge two WAP11s:
I read the posts on this newsgroup for a few days and decided to go with two WAP11's in a bridging
configuration. This will allow me to place the WAP11's remote from the router and computer they are
serving (less obstructions in between) with the additional option of different (and further remote) antennae
if required.
I spent one evening updating them to ver 1.4f (I'm using the USB utility which doesn't show 1.4f5 as does
the SNMP utility). Note that both AP's reported "Cannot upgrade firmware to 1.4f" at the end of the
upgrade process, but after power cycling the AP's the configuration utility correctly reported "Firmware
Version 1.4f.
I spent more time working with configurations trying to get communication between both sides (currently
about 1 meter apart) without success.
This evening I connected each WAP11 to its own computer using crossover cables. The IDSL router was
not involved. Each computer has its own IP address and after playing with configurations some more I was
able to ping each computer from the other. I have file and printer sharing disabled so I didn't test that. But I
do take this as an indication that you can set up an ad hoc configuration with two WAP11's, which may be
helpful in getting greater range between two computers than you could with two cards.
