Hello,
I hope I didn't end up posting this twice. My apologies if I did.
Anyway, I'm having trouble getting my SMC2655W (v1) AP working in
access point client mode.
My current test setup is like this:
- Netgear MR814v2 connected to DSL modem
- Wireless AP is enabled
- IP: 192.168.0.1
- iMac connected to switch on the MR814v2
- DHCP IP (currently 192.168.0.5)
- SMC2655W configured in access point client mode as client to MR814v2
- Static IP = 192.168.0.110
- SMC firmware 1.4i.1
- Laptop connected via crossover cable to 2655W's ethernet port
- Static IP = 192.168.0.35
- GW = 2655W IP
What works:
- iMac can ping 2655W
- iMac can ping MR814v2
- 2655W appears in the MR814v2's list of connected clients
- Laptop can ping 2655W
- Laptop can configure 2655W using SNMP tools
- Laptop can wirelessly connect to MR814v2 (but I have the wireless
card
disabled while trying to get this working)
What doesn't work:
- iMac cannot ping laptop
- Laptop cannot ping iMac or MR814v2
It seems like the 2655W isn't passing traffic through from
wireless->ethernet and vice versa.
Am I misunderstanding the use of "access point client" mode? I was
under
the impression than an AP in client mode basically just became
"wireless
ethernet adapter" (like an SMC2670W). That I would be able to connect
a
device that just has an ethernet port wirelessly to my main network.
My goal is to wirelessly connect my ReplayTV in the family room to my
main network. I used to have this working with an SMC 2670W, but it
died. I'm trying to replace the 2670W with thw 2655W in client mode.
Is this not working because I'm trying to get SMC and Netgear stuff to
talk
to each other? Would a different firmware solve the problem?
Thanks for any help.
