D link DIR 615 into wireless bridge

[snakebitex10]

Hi everone.

Just thanking you all in advance for any advice you can give.

I recently had trouble with my V!rgin media broadband and an engineer has changed the wireless router to the super hub which didnt cure the problem because there was a fault in the line.

I am now in posession of a D link DIR 615 wireless router and am planning to use it as a wireless bridge/repeater.

Has any one done this before????

All the tutorials on the net seem very long winded and complicated.

A simplified set of instructions is what im looking for.

Thanking you all again for any advice.

depends if both your routers have the option, you can force them to make a bridge but doing this doesn't get you any nice config pages etc.....oh and did you see this tut? lolol..

I've done two of these routers successfully, instructions are pretty easy.

Hi,

Was trying this last night with limited success. I have VM superhub downstairs (using wireless) and then a dir-615 upstairs. The dir-615 seemed to have 3 different MAC addresses and I added all 3 to the superhub allowed list but it wont get a valid IP address from the superhub. If I change the setting on the superhub to allow any MAC, the the dir-615 works fine. I've checked the 3 MAC addresses are correct and been entered properly.

Anyone have any suggestions to try out?
thanks
