Oh, one thing I did in setting up the bridge, that I think I read
afterward was a good idea, was to get the client bridge setup & tested
first, and then just switch it to repeater bridge. I had to power
cycle the device (and my primary) after that last switch, but haven't
had to reset either so far....
Yeah client bridge is the mode it's functioning in now and I did try
that before attempting to switch to repeater bridge. The primary router
is one part of this system I've never futzed with as it's about 100
yards away under my neighbor's desk and my/his feeling is if it ain't
broke don't fix it. (Works fine for all the boxes in his network so I'm
reticent to pull some trick that will make it work better on my end at
the expense of messing up something on his).
Oh, and fwiw, I never heard of doing the 30-30-30 when it comes to
lockups, without trying a power cycle first. Power cycling is SO
universal, most of us have a handful of dsl modems we'd rather not
remember... Just unplug the cable for 10 seconds or more, depending
on your aura, then plug it back in. Much much easier than the
30-30-30, which was the worst tech yoga I've had to perform in years X^/
Well the signal drop comes every 24 hours so it won't be long before I
can try your power cycle advice
And it ain't that I'm scared (much) of trying to upgrade my dd-wrt
firmware to something fresher than V24--it's just that there are scores
of them and they seem to change hourly.
Thanx Ben,
