No idea on that one. I was hoping the firmware update would help with
that issue for you.
Another option is to get either the MN-100 or MN-500 and have that as
the main router while putting the MN-700 in bridging mode.
Here are the directions.
Broadband modem --> WAN port of MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700 #1
MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700 #1 LAN port #2 --> WAN port of MN-100, MN-500,
or MN-700 #2
MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700 #1 LAN port #3 --> WAN port of MN-100, MN-500,
or MN-700 #3 (if available)
Make sure all MN-100s & MN-500s are running the latest firmware 1.11.017
Make sure all MN-700s are running the latest firmware 2.01.02.0590
Now lets look at the setup of each MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700:
MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700 #1
router mode
LAN IP address at default of 192.168.2.1
some SSID (if wireless)
some WEP key (if wireless)
channel 6 (if wireless)
MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700 #2
bridge mode
LAN IP address at 192.168.2.42, outside of default DHCP range
same SSID (if wireless)
same WEP key (if wireless)
channel 1 (if wireless)
MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700 #3 (if available)
bridge mode
LAN IP address at 192.168.2.43, outside of default DHCP range
same SSID (if wireless)
same WEP key (if wireless)
channel 11 (if wireless)
If you keep the SSID and WEP key the same for all base stations, people
will be able to move between offices and get a connection.
You need to select non-overlapping channels for the base stations to
prevent interference.
Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the three non-overlapping channels.
There are more combinations if you only need two channels.
