After several hours of trial and error, finally, I got it. Below are my settings/configurations that might help others.
Only modem B is connected to the internet through ADSL.
Modem A Setting | Modem B Setting | * |
---|---|---|
* |
||
Make sure both modems are on the same channel |
||
Make sure they have same security settings. |
||
Set modem A AP mode as access point, modem B AP mode as wireless bridge, |
After all settings are there, save and reboot both modems.
If all goes well, any device connected to modem b will be bridged to modem A (IP assign by modem A DHCP).
I notice at this point (when the bridge is on) modem B IP is no longer available. I could not find it anymore. The only way to find it (to enter the modem console for example) is to reset it. The modem B LAN port would not help since anything connected to modem B Ethernet port will be bridge to modem A.
Hello, is it able riger as modem A to bridge with tp link modem ?
ReplyDeleteI believe new modem uses WDS to connect which is much simpler than bridging. I've successfully connect 2 Innacomm W3400V modems using WDS but never had a chance to document everything since it was done at my parent's house. Not sure whether we can connect between wireless bridge and WDS. But would love to try that.
