I'll have to go back and re-read what you've tried so far, and I apologize for not being more clear myself because I never use Wireless Client mode, only Wireless Ethernet Bridge mode, but I mistakenly use the two terms interchangeably sometimes. ya know what.you should be using Wireless Ethernet Bridge mode, not Wireless Client mode.

So, with your PC connected to nothing else but the WRT54GL in wireless client mode, you should configure Tomato to use 192.168.0.2 for its static IP, turn off DHCP server.and then. I've never had any problem connecting my DD-WRT'd Fonera running wireless client mode to the DIR-655, though, and I'm using WPA2/AES encryption (this is the type of encryption you should be using, by the way). I've also got a DIR-655, but I'm using it as a gigabit switch/802.11n wi-fi access point, with my Tomato'd WRT54G as my main router/DHCP-DNS server/etc. 100-199 range reserved for DHCP clients), as then you'll always know what it is, rather than having to guess or check. I would probably still recommend giving the WRT a static address like 192.168.0.2 (outside the.
Yeah, I forgot that when you have the thing in wireless client mode, it is going to to actually have a couple of IP addresses, one for the WRT and one for the device connected to it. that I didn't feel like reading all of it :biggrin: ) that your WRT54GL got an IP of 192.168.0.199 from the DIR-655, so that is where you would've gone to get to the web GUI of the WRT54GL. After you try the above suggestions, you may want to look into that.ĮDIT #2: I just noticed in your second post (that's what you get for posting so much info. The other thing to do is to temporarily turn off the wireless encryption on the DIR-655 (and the WRT54GL client device) to simplify things until you get this figured out (why are you using WEP encryption, anyway?).ĮDIT: One last thing: I just remembered, there might also be a setting on the DIR-655 by default that segregates your wireless clients from your wired. That's where you'll need to go to access the web GUI.

In fact, instead of assigning a static IP to the WRT54G, just let it get a DHCP'd license from the DIR-655, so it'll probably take something like 192.168.0.105 or whatever. You need to assign an IP to the WRT54GL that is not already taken. Okay, well, lemme get this straight.your main router is the DIR-655, correct? And it's acting as your LAN's DHCP server, assigning DHCP licenses on the 192.168.0.100-199 subnet, correct?ĭo you have something else on that subnet that already has a lease for the 192.168.0.2 address? If so, then you'll have an IP conflict between whatever that device is and the WRT54GL that you're trying to get on the LAN as a client. Wi-Fi Protected Setup : Enabled/Configured Please HELP!! I'm a newb at this and I've been up 2 nights trying to get this working! These are the only changes I've made, but I'm not really sure what else I should change to get this to work. I have the desired key typed into key 1.ĭHCP server is unchecked. The router is set on "Wireless Client" mode, with WEP 64-bit. I have Tomato 1.22 installed and reset to default settings. To be more specific, I tried connecting to the 192.168.1.1 but it wasn't be found.įurthermore, when I move the wrt54gl to the xbox360, I can't establish a connection.
The problem is when I disconnect the wrt54gl from the PC, and connect my PC back to the DIR655, the wrt54gl is no longer found on the network. I know there have been other posts about this, but all of them had slightly different issues or configurations that couldn't help me.Īnyhow, I recently purchased a D-link DIR655 as my router, and now I'm trying to convert my older wrt54gl into a wireless bridge for my xbox360 in the next room.Īfter configuring the wrt54gl by hardwiring it to my PC, I am able to use it to connect to the internet, by way of a wireless connection to the DIR655.
