Hi
I have been running two WRT54GS's with HyperWRT Thibor 15c in WDS Mode as follows with my Wired Hauppauge MediaMVP for several years.
Server PC <=>WRT54GS (WDS+AP Mode) <=Wireless=> WRT54GS (WDS Mode) <=> MediaMVP.
I undertand this is half duplex so you only get 1/2 the throughput. A recent demand for bandwith has me looking at other options.
I understand I COULD do this?
A. Server PC <=>WRT54GS#1 (AP Mode) <=Wireless=> WRT54GS#2 (Client Mode) <=> MediaMVP.
OR
B. Server PC <=>WRT54GS (Wireless Ethernet Bridge) <=Wireless=> WRT54GS (Client Mode) <=> MediaMVP.
OR
C. Server PC <=>WRT54GS (Wireless Ethernet Bridge) <=Wireless=> WRT54GS (Wireless Ethernet Bridge) <=> MediaMVP.
I tried (A), (B) and © but couldn't access the Router #2 interface wirelessly using the IP address after reboot.
So I tried (D) which works wirelessly.
D. Server PC <=>WRT54GS (AP) <=Wireless=> WRT54GS (Wireless Ethernet Bridge) <=> MediaMVP.
Are there any network gurus out there who can advise the best approach for me to achieve this? No other clients connect to Router #2, but Router #1 needs to be an AP.
Should I be able to achieve the ones that do not work (i.e. am I missing a security setting issue - nothing else was changed)?
Cheers
