Unable to connect Buffalo G54 with Dlink 900 AP+

i am one of the many confused people about bridges and AP's but from what i understand you can't connect the WBR-G54 to another AP unless that other AP has a bridging function....although check in each device for MAC address exclusion and IP address exlcusion, check they're using the same (or none) encryption. if possible set the D-link device to bridge mode.


i dunno, i've probably confused myself more now :) 

i've done a little more work on this, because i'm buying some bridges soon, and buffalo have told me that bridging is only possible with other buffalo bridges...so the WBR-G54 can talk to client cards, but not to non-Buffalo bridges, and the same goes for all bridge functions on D-Link and Netgear bridges, they need to talk to their own make of wireless devices for bridging to work.

So you were right, your friend needs to buy a WBR-G54 or a WLA-G54...as they have WDS.

Or you can get your mate to buy a client PCI/cardbus 54Mbit card...that will connect to your router/bridge.
