I too have use the great UDP tool to enable bridging on my SBR. It was very easy to do, easier than I thought, in fact. However, I've run into a problem.
U'm using the SBR to bridge my Dish VIP-622 to my network. Bridging works fine if the LAN cable is unplugged from the SBR while it is powering up. the SBR powers-up (after being unplugged from power, not just the light being off) and it looks for the wireless network and SC and is fine. I can then plug in the LAN cable and my VIP-622 gets network connectivity. However, if the ethernet cable is plugged-in during power cycleing, the SBR tries to connect via LAN instead of wireless, resulting in both the SBR and my 622 being without a connection. My SBC still sees the SBR, but the SBR cannot connect to a music source since it's not really on any network. I've set bridging=1 and interface=0, but the SBR still wants to try and connect via the wired connection if it's plugged in to something. My SBR stays plugged in to power all the time (as most folk's do, I imagine), however - last night when I left my 622 connected to it with everything working (SBR connected to network wirelessly and 622 bridged through SBR), when I woke up, the SBR was trying to connect via LAN again. The only thing I can think of is that my wireless single dropped for a split second during the night and the SBR reverted back to trying to connect via a wired connection, just like it does when I power t up with the wired connection connected. Has anyone else seen this behavior in their SBR? Could this be a bug. I have the lastest 7.0.1 release software and associated firmwares running (release date was 14 May, I think). My SBR is on the fringes of my wireless network, mostly due to heavy congestion from neighbors, with all overlapping channels taking (networks with channels 2, 6, 9 and 11 are within range of my house according to netstumbler, so the entire spectrum is covered since only channels 1, 6 and 11 can coeexist with ZERO interference), so my wireless signal where my SBR is fluctuates between 10% and 51%, depending on whose network's doing what at any given time... despite this I've never had any stuttering in music playback (256kbps MP3s and internet radio is all I play, so no big bandwidth requirements) or other connectivity issues in my home with eight wireless devices (2 laptops, 2 cameras, SB3, SBR, SBC, and another wireless bridge) running 24/7. Any thought on why my SBR is behaving this way? Should I post a bug report?
