Configuration of bridged networks connected by two WA7210N
Region : Germany
Model : TL-WA7210N
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version : latest
ISP :
Hello everybody,
after almost 2 days of puzzling, reading forum posts and FAQs, I am going to ask professionals to help.
Physical Setup seen from DSL-Access:
Fritzbox Router (1) --wired-- WA7210N (2) --wireless line of sight-- WA7210N (3) --wired-- WA801ND (4) --wireless-- mobile devices
Configs
(1) LAN IP: 192.168.179.1, Mask: 255.255.255.0 (providing standard Gateway, DHCP, NTP...) not to be configured otherwise, works perfectly
(2) LAN IP: Static mode 192.168.179.2, Mask: 255.255.255.0, Standard Gateway and DNS: 192.168.179.1 (checked with equally configured Notebook, Ínternet works)
Wireless Settings: Operation Mode: Bridge with AP, SSID: transfer1 (most secure), Remote SSID: transfer2, Channel 12
(3) LAN IP: Static Mode 192.168.0.1, Mask: 255.255.255.0, Standard Gateway and DNS: 192.168.179.1 (does not work with diagnostics/ping from APs Web-Config)
Wireless Settings: Operation Mode: Bridge with AP, SSID: transfer2 (most secure), Remote SSID transfer1, Channel 12
(4) AP IP using Channel 1: 192.168.0.2, Mask 255.255.255.0, Standard Gateway 192.168.0.1, DHCP enabled (I need a second AP here because of bridging mode of (3) and signal distribution in-house)
As Connection (and bridging) between (2) and (3) never worked, I didn't care about the second DHCP server yet. I am sure there should be just one (192.168.179.1) as configured at (1).
First configuration had all devices using the same Network (192.168.179.x, where x represented number of physical Setup, see above).
As this didn't work for some reason (probably DNS or Gateway configuration faults) and side help/explanations in APs Web-Config as well as my definition/understanding of some technical terms puzzled me, I have the unworking status described here.
I didn't try to let the APs 2-4 assign dynamic adresses because I scared about losing control to access the APs for further configuration.
Anyone here with professional experience, how to get this Setup work?
Or how to change it to fulfil my needs?
Any links to existing threads dealing with this?
Many Thanks in Advance!
