Hey,

I'm trying to use a Linksys E2100L as a wireless network bridge to connect some Ubiquiti security cameras to my home network. I installed the dd-wrt firmware, I've been following some of the how-to docs on this site (linked below), but when I get to the restart router phase the E2100L shows up on my device list as connected in the Unifi console, but it shows up as a device and not a bridge...

I feel like I'm either missing something obvious, or Unifi just isn't going to work with this setup. Does anyone have any advice?

Here is the article I used:

Welcome to the forum.

What build are you using?

For wireless bridges you need at lest build 49289 or better.

Wireless (station) bridges are a kind of a hack especially on your target see:

It's not going to show up as a bridge in UniFi.
