It should be possible, but it strongly depends on the features of the wireless driver and the nas daemon. Both are closed source and rumours going on that there are some bugs preventing the usage of WPA2 for WDS connections. I never tried this. There are newer versions for nas and wl available, which might work better, but they will be integrated only into trunk in a few months, shortly after FreeWRT 1.0 is marked as stable and usable. > Two friends of mine have the following situation: > > +--> Computer > dsl modem <---> WL-500gP <~~~> [WRT] <~~~> WRT <---> computer > +~~> Notebook > > <---> ethernet <~~~> WLAN > > The modem and Asus router replaces an old broken WAG, which was connected to > the first WRT with an (flat) ethernet cable (the router is on the balcony, > the door smashed the cable (again)). > The WRTs run under DD-WRT with WDS and WPA, but the connection wasn't > reliable, so I got two of these devices for testing a different firmware. > If it is not possible to use the old configuration, I'm thinking about to > configure the balcony-WRT as AP and both end-point routers as clients.

Might be possible. Another possibility would be to use OpenVPN between the wireless bridge. > As side note: Is it true that two APs cannot be connected with WPA-PSK2? > It doesn't work here. Might be the bug in nas. bye Waldemar -- don't open your wrt, free it http://www.freewrt.org _______________________________________________ freewrt-users mailing list freewrt-users@freewrt.org https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-users
