I'm trying to connect a tivo mini to a Roamio over a wireless bridge(two nano station locos/30mbps). The Tivo mini can see the Tivo roamio over the wireless bridge but, for some reason, does not connect to the Roamio.

If I connect the devices via an ethernet connection, remove the ethernet connection, and then connect then connect the devices via a wireless bridge, the devices will connect; however, the devices will eventually lose connection after some time.

current setup: Roamio(MoCA)->router->wireless bridge->-powerline adapter->mini.

I have a pair of TPlink AV500.

I have the ip adresses of the wifi bridges set statically to 192.168.1.26 and 192.168.1.28 which I believe is inside the DCHP range. There are no IP conflicts I am aware of. Is this wrong?

I asked about the powerline since I only saw one in your network diagram. :)

Static IP addresses should be outside the DHCP range to prevent potential IP conflicts. As an example if the gateway is 192.168.1.1, make your static addresses .1.2 to .1.20 to leave room for future devices and then make the DHCP range .1.21 to .1.254.

Tivo also static address? When I have a network with dynamic connections that works for a while, I usually find that changing to static addresses can make it more stable.

I assume that the nano bridge goes to another building where you use the two powerline adapters to get the signal to the Tivo.

The tivos have static IP addresses. See table below.

Yes. It goes to a building next door. I have the antenna next door plugged into a powerline adapter(I have bypassed an access point).

From the table the Tivo are in the dynamic range and do not have static addresses in the router -- they are DHCP clients with addresses in the dynamic range.

You need to assign static addresses both on the device and in the router (using the device MAC address). Fix that and it may solve the issue.

No dice. The tivo mini shows up as "*" instead of the name I gave it. Not sure if that means anything.

I think its a problem with my wifi bridge setup because I tested the mini with each network component and the mini only fails when I use the wifi bridge.
