Troubleshooting

9.Logout of the access point by clicking on the Logout link on the left. Close the browser window.

10.Login to the second access point in the wireless bridge.

11.Click on the Advanced Settings tab.

12.The wireless settings page will appear. Select the proper settings for the wireless network. Refer to the settings recorded from the first access point. All settings except for the SSID need to be identical amongst all access points in the bridge. If roaming is desired, then set the SSID settings identically as well.

13.Click on the LAN port link on the left.

14.Make sure that the LAN side IP address setting is different than that of the first access point. The IP addresses cannot be the same, but they should be on the same network. It is recommended that the IP address of the second access point is one higher then that of the first access point. Thus, if access point one’s address is 1.1.1.1, then access point two’s address should be 1.1.1.2. If there is a DHCP server function setting on this page, then make sure to set it to Disabled. Press the Apply button when finished. If the IP address was changed, then reconnecting to the access point for configuration will require accessing it via its new IP address in a web browser (e.g. http://NEW_IP_ADDRESS).

15.Click on the Wireless bridge (WDS) link on the left.

16.Enable WDS and press the Apply button. If desired, move the switch on the bottom of the WHR- HP-G54 from AUTO to BRI to disable normal router functionality (optional).

17.Enter the Wireless MAC Address of the first access point (which was recorded on Step 8) into the field MAC Address of AirStation (Wireless) (include the colons). Press the Add button.

18.The Wireless MAC address inputted on the step above will appear in the Connected AirStation table. Confirm that enable is checked, and then press the Apply button.
