877w As Wireless Bridge (Client)

[Peter_sgc_2]

Hello,

Is there a guide anywhere on how to turn an AP inside an 877w into a Wireless Bridge?

I have been searching for hours

[Surendra BG]

Get into the radio config mode and see if u find an option to configure the same to ROOT BRIDGE, this will do it..

en

conf t

int dot11 0

station-role root bridge

end

Please dont forget to rate the usefull posts!!

Hey thanks for the information.

I have manged to get it configued via "Universal Client Mode", so that I now have a "Virtual-Dot11Radio0" that is getting a DHCP address from the server on the WLAN Side (192.168.1.254).

I was reading that I would need to setup NAT, Do I really need to, or Can I just setup the BVI / VLAN1 Interface to the same IP range (192.168.1.254) and get access to the internet if I set my PCs Gateway to the Gateway of the WLAN side?

These are probally all very simple questions / answers so sorry if it sounds dumb.

IP ahould be assigned to the BVI interface not on the Virtual dot11!!

natting should be on the BVI interface!!

Thats not what the Cisco Article said, they said to apply IP DHCP to the Virtual Interface...

So if I apply IP DHCP to the BVI interface will it get an IP from the DHCP server on the WLAN side of the network?

Prehaps this will explain better what I am trying to do:

(Not with an 1841 but with an 877w, and the AP is not a 1242, just a generic AP)

I was able to fix it by using the same subnet on the VLAN1 and the router seems to be briding between the two..

Here is the config...
