I will start out describing both locations setups.
Point (A) is my location.
Point (B) is my father's location.
Point (A) has the following setup
1)WRT54G Ver 1.1 with latest firmware installed.
2)WLAN port of the WRT54G has a Engenius Bridge(200mw) connected to
it.
3)Of the four RJ45 ports on the WRT54G Router, one is connected, the
other three are empty. This one connected port goes to a (5) Port
Switch(EFAHO5W). This (5) port switch has (4) Hard-Wired (CAT5)
computers connected to it.
4) The router is setup as DHCP locally for my domain only, starting
IP assignments 192.168.3.200 thru 192.168.3.203.
5)The Router IP address is 192.168.3.1 on channel (11)
6)Engenius Bridge IP Address is 192.168.3.2
7)The WLAN port is setup to accept an IP from my father's router.
Point (B) has the following setup
1) BEFW11S4 Ver 3.2 with latest firmware installed.
2) The router has (2) computers thru wireless Connection on channel
(11)
3) It's WLAN port has a cable modem going to it.
4) The router is the DHCP server for the wireless connections.
Here's the interesting part. I was able to browse the internet from my
point (A) going thru my father's router. The signal is somewhat weak
and not sufficient to browse the net 24 hours a day, in fact more
hours than not.
So, I acquire a second Engenius bridge(200mw)to put on my father's
side point(B).
What's is troubling me I still see his router weak, nevertheless but
still see it. I cannot see the bridge at all, now this bridge is
connect to one of the four available ports on the bach of his router.
The IP Address of the bridge is 192.168.1.50, My father's router IP
Address is 192.168.1.1, the two wireless connections are
192.168.1.100 & 192.168.1.101.
My router is setup to accept an IP Address from his router. Only one
router is setup as the DHCP Server and that being his router. That's
about it, Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I hope this is enough
detail to help.
