I thought I set up everything correctly, only to discover I should have set a static ip address before beginning. I then set the static ip address and tried it but it didn’t work.
Then, when I connected my client router via ethernet cable, I can bring up the internet, but when I attempt to login to 198,162,1.2 it’s unable to connect.
Windows was unable to diagnose the problem. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks.
A router running DD-WRT v24 is able to create a wireless bridge. The bridging mode is selected from a drop down menu on the Wireless > Basic Settings page. There are several variations on bridging. Use the following to determine which type is best for you.

I suspect you’re attempting to connect to the wrong IP address.
Open a command prompt window (ie: Start >> Run >> type cmd and hit Enter) and perform the following command:
ipconfig /all
Look for the “Default Gateway” address….that’s the LAN address of your router and is the IP you need to use in your web browser to connect to the router’s management interface.
