Hi All,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I hope I picked the correct sub forum.
I have an Asus RT-AC68U as my main router for my small house. It works fine, in fact I recently got it and updated my laptop with the USB-AC56 as well as a couple other AC USB sticks and after some initial set up issues everything is running fine.
After some reading I wanted to do a client bridge (no WDS) for my living room so my consoles have some better speeds to reach the AC68U upstairs. The living room laptops and tablets all have good speeds and connections down here and are stable.
I found a Dlink 810L refurb for $20 and decided this is a good impulse price to try the client on. I updated the 810L with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (01/09/15) std and proceeded to fight Windows 10's ethernet settings for most of the night. As of now I have the 810L being seen by the AC68U and being assigned an IP. I can ping the assigned IP from my laptop. My test was my PS4 plugged into the 810L and I cannot see that nor can the PS4 see the network.
I am doing something wrong or missed something. On the 810L I turned off the firewall, DHCP, tried leaving DHCP on to get IPs, turned it off to make static IPs, so far attempted to just use the 2.4Ghz network (disabled the 5Gz) for 'practice' by using the same SSID and security. Made sure the Gateway, DNS and Subnet matched those settings that were on the main AC68U. Tried making the 810L a 'gateway' and a 'router' in advanced.
I'm not sure what else to try. I have not done anything on the AC68U besides checking its connections and the log, which did show this:
dnsmasq-dhcp[18550]: no address range available for DHCP request via 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1 was the IP I manually set up in the 810L before the AC68U gave it 192.168.1.8 from DHCP.
I'm out of ideas for now.
