Hi,
I have set up a wireless network in my house - unfortunately due to
thick stone walls just an ADSL Router (eg DG834GT) wasn't powerfull
enough, so I got a DG834 wired router and three WG102 access points,
now here comes the story...
I connected the first access point to the router and configured it as
multi access bridge and put in the MAC addresses of the other access
points, all good so far - I can access the internet using that one.
Then I add another one, setting it up in single bridge mode and it
associates properly and works (after a lot of running up and down
stairs etc.) so that's fine.
Then I add the third. It all appears to work then all stops working.
I can still see the wireless network, but it wont assign me an IP
address (which the DG834 is giving out) This worked fine for a day,
with just two access points.
So now I can try and connect but it wont give me an IP and sometimes
wont connect to the netowrk either.
I can connect with a wire to the access points and see their
configuration pages and if i assign an IP to the wireless i can access
the configuration page of the access point it has connected to, but
nothing else on the network.
I have tried rebooting the APs and the router (finally in the right
order, all off, router on, first AP etc.)
In the activity log they associate with each other properly it just
seems to not be working.
Anyone suggest anything or an alternative product that would be more
reliable - must say I have had some issues with Netgear recently (lot
of faulty DG834Gs and GTs)
Thanks for any help
Blair
