Bride Mode Install
I was having trouble getting OpenWRT to do any sort of bridging with my Belkin A/G ap, so I'm trying out bridge mode using DD-WRT.
Hardware: Linksys WRT54G V2 / Belkin A+G Dual Mode AP Router F6D3230-4 firmware 1.01.05
Flashing from OpenWRT and getting to the GUI
I figured I'd give it a go to just use the 'upgrade firmware' link in OpenWRT to flash DD-WRT2.3-voip. It worked, using a laptop and my Belkin A mode wlan connection. Once the flash was rolling, I did an
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100
to bring up the laptop ethernet connection to the linksys. Then http://192.168.1.1 brought up the gui. Now to figure out the default username and password. Ok, default username is blank. Default password is admin.
Configuration
My local network is 10.6.6.0/24, my belkin is at 10.6.6.1, ssid examplessid, channel 1, WPA-PSK, with a 63 character passphrase. (The belkin does not allow a 64 hex key to be entered, only a passphrase.)
Setup
Basic Setup
First page, Internet is disabled (I use another pc as a gateway connected to my cable modem). DHCP server is also disabled, I use static ips in my lan.
- Assign WAN port to Switch - enabled
Advanced Routing
- Advanced Routing
- Operating Mode - Gateway
VLANS
I added the wan port interface (W) to the top line VLAN which should include it in the normal LAN. I don't use this AP as a NAT router, so I can use the WAN port as another LAN port.
Wireless
Basic Settings
- Wireless Mode - Client Bridge
- Wireless Network Mode - Mixed
- Wireless Network Name (SSID) - examplessid
Wireless Security
- Security Mode - WPA2 Pre-Shared Key (The belkin calls it WPA but allows me to use AES, so from what I understand that would be WPA2
- WPA Algorithms - TKIP+AES (I used AES on the Belkin but I'm unsure about the Group Key, so this can't hurt.
Security
Firewall
- Firewall Protection - Disabled
Administration
Management
- DNS Masq - Disable
- Local DNS - Disable
