I'm having trouble setting up a wireless bridge using two dual band routers. I tried different routers (Linksys E3000, Netgear WNDR3700) with alternative firmwares, but none work as I expect...

Please see attached picture for a visualization.

Goal: Wireless bridge with no bandwidth loss for Laptop B
  • 5 Ghz band is used only for AP bridging
  • 2.4 Ghz band is used for wlan access
  • Router B is in client bridge mode for 5 Ghz radio

Symptoms:
  • Desktop B is working as expected (lan & internet access)
  • Laptop B is not working as expected. It can access/ping Server A just fine, but for some reason cannot access/ping router A and therefore also cannot access internet

Anyone have any ideas?
