Title: WDS ip-adresses
Post by: nsn on October 08, 2007, 19:14:42 PM
Hello,
I like to have WDS between 2 Asus devices. Also i want to be able to get in the 2 Asus devices because they both have a http service running. Can both WL500G get a reachable ip-adress in wds mode ? Please help me out here.. I can make a WDS connection but i want both AP's to be accesable from the WAN side. 

Thanks NSN

Even in WDS mode all devices have an ip.

That ip can be accessed.

Hello Macsat, thanks for your reply.
I can't get WDS working. I've a computer at 192.168.5.95, AP1: 192.168.5.2, AP2: 192.168.5.3
It's not possible to ping all the IP-adresses. See my nvram in attchments.
Please can you help me out here ?

For WDS to work, you have to change wl0_wds in AP1 to be the MAC address of AP2, and in AP2 it has to be set to the MAC address of AP1.

Is this the way you have done it ?

Did you start by testing without encryption/security ?

As far as i can see i did it rigtht.. so filled in the MACadress of the other router:

AP1=> MAC=00:11:D8:56:53:13
wl0_wds   00:0E:A6:F0:48:0A

AP2=> MAC=00:0E:A6:F0:48:0A
wl0_wds 00:11:D8:56:53:13

Please have a look in the attached excelfile if i missed something

I've no security (WEP or something) enabled

Seems to be correct.

Can you see any "talk" of WDS in the system log?

No when i do a logread i don't see any WDS talk. The strange thing is that client mode seems to work so why not wds ? What else can i do ?  I double checked the MAC adresses (ifconfig). Can i reload some packages ?

Hello ... can anyone help me out !

I switched from openwrt to DD-WRT (used the same WL500G). In this case WDS works fine. I need however to run openwrt. I cleared the nvram as descibed in the wiki for DD-WRT. After this i switched back to the openwrt. My nvram looks like:
