I've read and heard about how these should be setup in a network multiple ways. My network is currently configured this way, but I have a question about how the DHCP should be setup. My primary router is 192.168.1.1, my AP is .2, and my client bridge is .3.
On my primary router, I have both the AP and the Client Bridge (setup using DD-WRT) with static IP addresses, and I have my range on the DHCP server set from 192.168.1.2 to .254. Most devices on my network also have static IPs, and I can access any device and any of these router's setup interface no matter which one I'm connected to. Is there any problems with this setup? I've read where some people would use 192.168.1.4 as their starting DHCP range and leave the AP and the client bridge out of the DHCP range. What's the difference?
Only my primary router is setup to use DHCP and assign IP addresses, so I never have any IP conflicts or anything. This is just something I've been curious about since I've read different ways people do it. Same with the AP. I've read where some people say I should use different SSIDs, but I'm using the same one throughout the house. Can someone answer this for me so I can quit wondering?
