The 63 character key maximum in the instructions is not a bug. 63 printable characters = 256 bit encryption, which should be enough for WPA2.

I don't use MAC filtering on my network. Is that a required step?

The title is "Wireless Bridge", but the content is "Client-bridge". Why ? The term "Wireless-bridge" is usually used for connection of two APs (both running in AP mode), sometimes referred to as "WDS".

Operating Mode must be set to Router

I was playing around with this today. It seems to only work if the Client-Bridge device is set to some type of routing and NOT set to Gateway under the Advanced Routing tab.

Set AP Isolation to disabled for the Host Router

Hi! Thanks for a great walk-thru! It worked excellent, except for one thing. My clients connected wirelessly with the host router was not visible for the computers connected to the client router. (And since all my computers use wireless connections, this was a little showstopper....)

But when I disabled AP Isolation on the Host Router, everything works fine!


I now have a KiSS VR558 connecte to a DD-WRT modified Linksys WRT54G(Bridge client), which connects wirelessly to my WRT300N (Host w/Internet access). My main computer where all my movies and music is located, is wirelessly connected to the main WRT300N via a WMP300N. It is now accessible from the KiSS via the brigde and main router.

Thanks again!!
