I have a small home Wired Lan and wish to bridge this with a WDR4300 to my BT SmartHub.

 

I have set up the bridge as instructed WDS, select BT Hub from survey, DHCP off

 

BT Hub Gateway 192.168.1.254

WDR4300 Staic IP address 192.168.1.100

 

The BT Hub can see the router on the 5GHz Wireless but devices connected to the WDR4300 LAN cannot be seen by the hub and cannot connect to the internet. W10 PC connected point to point came up with unidentified network No Internet connection

 

Changed the Lan setting to use the 192.168.1.100 adress as the gateway on the PC IPv4 settings, it now shows Network 4 rather than unidentified, but still no internet.

 

I tried setting up a staic route to the BT HUb WAN, using the .254 IP for the gateway, unsure what subnet mask I should use as it gives and error if I use 255.255.255.0, as this is supposed to differentiate between the host and client networks I tried 255.255.255.255, no error but still no internet

 

How can I connect devices from the wired side to the internet.

Is the DHCP server on TL-WDR4300 disabled?

@Kevin_Z Thanks, yes had checked DHCP was off, it seems to be a fault with the WDR 4300, will change the software to open source and check again.

 

Meantime built a bridge using a spare raspberry Pi, that worked OK
