I configured my linksys wrt1900ac v1 flashed with DDWRT to act as a client bridge and a print server. When I look at my primary router it shows my client bridge having an IP of 1.1.1.1 How do I fix this and why is it happening?

I have 3 remote routers all connected as client bridge (routed) and see the same 1.1.1.1 appear for each of them. I did not have this when I ran WDS but given that the client setup is more efficient and compatible with different chips I am satisfied with the configuration. I have all my remote routers configured in my static tables of the master and don't have any problems with communication or connection over the links. Unless it is causing you a problem, don't worry about it. _________________ Starlink & DSL -> TPLink TL-R470T+

So if the IP address of my client bridge router is 192.168.1.2 and I am using it as a print server, then I would use this IP as its address when configuring the printer on my pc AND ignore the 1.1.1.1 address? Other then seeing the MAC address of my client bridge on my primary router and remembering the IP address of the bridge, how do I see the actual IP of this remote router from my primary router’s list of clients? Thanks for your help

I have never setup a router as a print server, so I am unable to assist you at this time. I am sure there are others who have experience with this and will jump in to assist.
When I have a bit more time I will attempt to setup a print server operation on my spare 1900 V1. As for now I have my printer as a networked device but will attempt to switch it to the 1900. _________________ Starlink & DSL -> TPLink TL-R470T+

The 1900 V1 is at the latest build r39654 and setup as a Client Bridge (Routed). As I indicated disregard the 1.1.1.1 IP Address and use your native IP address you set on the setup page. _________________ Starlink & DSL -> TPLink TL-R470T+
