• trying to bridge/link two routers wirelessly..

    From August Abolins@1:153/757.22 to Carlos Navarro on Thu May 2 14:52:04 2024
    I want to feed the available internet from room B to room A,
    wirelessly.

    I've been using Powerline ethernet adapters (PLC) for several years now, and they work fine for me. Carlos

    wouldn't work. the outlets in each room have different breaker panels.

    meanwhile, I opted to hardwire the feed with eth. four hrs and four patch cords later, the connection is full speed.

    Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can approach
    this requirement:

    I want to feed the available internet from room B to room A,
    wirelessly.

    Currently, room A is DSL/router connected to an unmanaged
    switch that serves my wired devices fine. Wireless is also
    sufficient. But.. the DSL is scheduled to be decomissioned.

    Meanwhile, I have fibre internet installed in room B. There
    really wasn't a proper way to wire fibre to room A. So, I am
    left with a wireless solution to send the internet to room A.

    The fibre is terminated with a Deco x50, provided by the ISP.

    Sure.. I can probably expense for another Deco x50, but that
    would be added cost of atleast $150 that I hoped I could avoid
    if I could set up a wireless bridge with existing routers.

    The Deco x50 is pretty much dumbed down and can't really be
    configured beyond setting its own primary IP address and the
    start-range for DHCP.

    I have a sr516ac that I hoped I could connect next to the Deco
    x50 in room B and send the internet via wireless bridge method
    to room A.

    How should the sr516ac be properly connected? Should it use its
    WAN port to the Deco x50, or the LAN port? And what should the
    IP address be set up as?

    The Deco x50 is currently 192.168.68.1 ..and begins serving
    clients at 192.168.68.51 and up.

    Room A is currently served with a DSL modem, an sr360n,
    configured as 192.168.1.1. I have several devices that have
    static IP addresses as 192.168.1.2, .8 .11 and .44

    The sr360n can "see" the sr516ac during the wireless bridge
    rescan. It seems that I all I would have to do is allow the
    sr360n to associate as a bridge to the sr516ac. But I am still
    not sure with the IP addresses need to be and which physical
    ports I need to connect the sr516ac to the Deco.

    Can anyone help?
