dlink dwl 2100 and dwl 900 ap+ bridge mode

Hello

We have problem with connect dwl 2100 and dwl 900 in bridge mode. I try many
times and there wasn't success. Now i don't sure that it is possible.

We set in dwl-2100 firmware 2.00eu via telnet:

set apmode p2p lub
set apmode p2mp
set wirelessmode 802.11b
set remoteap mac
set basic11b
set antenna 1
set channel 1

in dlink dwl 900ap+ firmware 3.07
standard settings:
wireless bridge or
multiponit bridge


best regards

Hi,

I have four DWL-7100AP's scattered about doing various things. The
DWL-7100AP is very similiar to your DWL-2100AP, except that it does both
802.11a and 802.11g/b. They are solid once running, but, well, I know very
well how tempermental they can be to get running in "other than usual AP"
configurations.

According to DLink, the DWL-2100AP can't bridge off a DWL-900AP:

http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.as.../%20DWL-8200AP

Likewise, I bought my first DWL-7100AP to do something funky with a
router -- only to find out after the fact that it wouldn't work. I was
pissed and thought about returning it, but ended up just buying a second one
to achieve what I wanted, by just hanging one of them off the router. They
worked so well together (SNMP is cool) that I since bought two more of them.

Your best bet, I hate to say, is probably to pick up a second DWL-2100AP to
replace the DWL-900AP. The DWL-900AP is old 802.11b, anyway. The two
DWL-2100AP's working together will give you 802.11g, and perhaps more
importantly, WPA-PSK.

DLink's tech support is an absolute joke. Basically, just consider there to
be no tech support except for their web site. I know I'm much more intimate
with the DWL-7100AP than anyone at DLink, through trial and error and
general playing around. I.e, certain configurations with the DWL-7100AP
(such as "repeater" and "client") only work with certain firmwares. On one
of my laptops, I have directories devoted to certain configurations for
DWL-7100AP that includes the specific firmware that works and the config
file for specific configurations. Its easy now to change them around by
flashing the firm and the config, but it took a lot of work on my part to
piece it together. DLink was of zero help. Your DWL-2100AP should be more
straightforward since it only has one radio though.

Basically, your DWL-2100AP is capable of doing a lot of neat stuff -- but
don't expect any guidance from DLink. You have to play.

Have fun!
Eric
