Host Router Settings

1. The best thing to do is to restore the router defaults, under "Administration" tab with DD-WRT firmware. This to make sure that there isnt an old setting hiding somewhere that could interfere with the new configuration.

2. Enter the web interface of the host router, and setup your WLAN as an AP in Bridged mode.


La Fonera Settings

1. Set the wireless mode to "Client bridge mode". Type in the same SSID, wireless channel and network mode as on your host router.

3. When saved it should not take long, approx 2-3 min. at the most, then under "Status" tab you should see that your LaFonera is connected to your host router/AP.

4. Now finish by going to "Basic" tab and give this router an local IP adress in the same subnet as your first, i.e 192.168.1.3. This time set the gateway and DNS to 192.168.1.2 (assumed to be your primary router in this setup) and disable "Internet connection" and DHCP. Finally save the setup.

5. Change gateway mode to RIP2 (may or may not work without it, but RIP2 is the best in this configuration) under Advanced routing tab.

7. Double check under "Status" tab that your still connected. Finish with rebooting both routers, then connect the PC/X-Box to the Fonera ethernet port, setup static or DHCP ip on the client and aquire a IP address. You should receive a IP address from the remote AP, in the same subnet. Finish with trying to ping the gateway, any other networked PC on the other side of the wireless bridge, and of course try surfing the web.


That would be it!
