Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:39 Post subject: EOC-5610 Public WiFi Connection
I must preface this post with the statements that I am new to wireless networking, and that I have searched the DD-WRT website, Wiki, Forums, and internet, without success.
I have an EOC-5610 that I am trying to connect to a public WiFi HotSpot. The 5610 is connected to a switched hub, then to the PCs. DD-WRT v24-SP2 is installed.
The 5610 is set to "Client Bridge", security off (matches HotSpot), Static IP, DHCP disabled. Under the Status-->Wireless tab, I am able to do a site survey and, apparently, connect to the desired hotspot. (Non zero data in wireless packet data info, TX and RX).
My PCs can see the 5610 with the ping command, and connect via the web GUI. Their settings are:
IP: 192.168.123.XXX
Subnet: 255.255.255.000 (Matches 5610)
Gateway: 192.168.123.1 (5610 IP)
I am unable to access the internet with the PCs.
when using bridge you need to be in the same IP range and stuff.
Just use client mode with dchp auto and see if it works. If it does go to the wan tab in the status and take note of ip settings then change to those when using bridge. _________________ Asus WL-520GC R1.02 - DD-WRT 24-sp2 (09/30/09) micro-plus (SVN revision 13000M NEWD Eko)

I switched from client bridge mode to client mode, and enabled DHCP. My PC was set to obtain IP address utomatically. Pc was given an IP address, but still could not connect to internet. The router is set to:
IP: 192.168.123.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (?Bridged to wireless?)
Local DNS: 0.0.0.0 (?Bridged to wireless?)
PC is at:
IP: 192.168.123.69
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.123.1
I am sure that there is something small, but annoying, that I am missing.
I am apparently able to connect to this with the EOC-5610 with Wireless mode: Client (Although the WAN IP remains 0.0.0.0. WAN Connection Type: Disabled, or Auto Config - DHCP.
Is there something that I am missing? Do I need to create a bridge? I am a bit unclear of what eth0, ath0, and etherip0 are (relate to ports and bridging)? Should I assign "Wan Port to Switch"?

The DD-WRT forum has not been too helpful: I am redirected to the WiKi article on "Client Mode". I have followed everything on the instructions, to the letter, without success.

It doesnt have a wan ip.
So eather your too far away and it timing out because there ack is set too low, Or they could have dhcp disabled or just trying going to the wan page and clicking the button to get a new IP.
Cant remember it off the top of my head and im to drunk to be bothered searching. _________________ Asus WL-520GC R1.02 - DD-WRT 24-sp2 (09/30/09) micro-plus (SVN revision 13000M NEWD Eko)

When you are in client mode, there is no WAN IP. All is LAN. You connect to the AP wireless, so you get an IP from it. Using another subnet is necessary to reach your clients side (pc, laptop, etc).
This behaviour is normal.
Read slowly, and perform step by step the instructions, you will find alone where you did a mistake. Anyway, we all started one day ;)

So which is it? WAN IP or no WAN IP? Router in Client, DHCP, different subnet as Access point, ACK set to 2000 (default).
I am able to connect to the access piont with a wireless NIC. Even when I set the WAN Connection Type to Static and mirror the wireless NIC settings, still no internet access.So which is it? WAN IP or no WAN IP? Router in Client, DHCP, different subnet as Access point, ACK set to 2000 (default).

Also, I have followed the Wiki Instructions as I would an AF preflight checkliet.
