| 766223 | 2009-04-19 01:46:00 | I have a wireless router (router2) that connects wirelessly to another router upstairs (router1), near the bb modem (see attached image). BTW red lines are wireless, blue lines are wired. The problem is, laptop1 (or any wireless device connected to router1) can't connect to or even ping any devices on the other side of router2 (ie server, desktop2, desktop3). desktop1 can always ping every device on the network. desktop2, desktop3 and the server can as well. If I move laptop1 to connect to router2, it can ping every device on the network. All devices can connect to the Internet and there are no other problems with this setup (AFAIK :p) Is there a way I can make wireless devices connected to router1 able to access devices on router2? |

| 766225 | 2009-04-19 03:21:00 | Yep, sure have :) They have the same encryption key as well. |

| 766226 | 2009-04-19 03:45:00 | I think repeater bridges have to be on a different subnet than the AP(one of the current firmwares limitations) so you can try changing it to a repeater bridge, but that will mean you cannot connect to the repeater wirelessly:( Or you can try WDS Linking: www.dd-wrt.com Blam |

| 766228 | 2009-04-19 11:14:00 | I had this problem then one day it just came right. Try looking on router's settings for wireless options and sharing / networking. Maybe try googling "wireless access problem on network" |
