I have one MN-500 as my router. It is working fine for
wired and wireless communications to the Internet.
Recently purchased another MN-500 to act as a wireless
access point in a remote place in my house. Took it out
of the box, made a wired connection from it to my laptop,
and set its network mode to bridging mode. Disconnected
it from the laptop, turned off laptop and MN-500 power,
connect the MN-500's modem port to an ethernet port from
the routing MN-500, and turned it back on.
The routing MN-500 sees the new one as an access point.
However, the new one is advertising itself as the MSHOME
network (rather than the routing MN-500's network name)
and has no connectivity to the internet via wireless
access from the laptop (tested by covering the original MN-
500's antenna with foil to force access through the bridge)
The routing MN-500 has MAC filtering turned on and is
configured to allow the bridging one to connect.
Any help with now to get this working? It sounds soooo
simple in the manual!
