lordvader129, did you get my PMs?
I don't mean to be rude, but it's been about 2 weeks since I sent you those PMs regarding my tutorial. You're obviously active in these forums. Could you at least say yay or nay to making my topic appear? I don't know about these forums, but in other forums I have been to it is good ettiquette to respond to PMs if possible. If you didn't get my PMs due to a system malfunction, then I apologize. Again, no disrespect(PLEASE DON"T BAN ME!). If you didn't get those PM's, then what I was asking was to make my topic appear in the newbie FAQ section and to add this(UPDATED FROM PM) to the top of my post:
Belkin F5D7230-4 version 4000 and newer routers do not support WDS(bridging). They will not work for this setup. The version 4000 and newer routers are distinguished by their one-antenna design. Version 3000 and Version 2000 seems to be the best as Version 2000 is the start of compactness(previous models are bigger), yet still has WDS support and 2 antennas and doesn't have some other issues that I won't go into here. Version 3000 has slightly improved range, so this is the best of the F5D7230-4 versions.
WDS(i.e. bridging) will USUALLY not work between 2 non-identical devices(i.e. different maker/model), but you can try. Bridging between two F5D7230-4 routers of different versions will work as long as they are both lower than version 4000. I currently bridge my version 1444 to ym version 2000.
What equipment is compatible with the Belkin 7230-4 for WDS bridging?
# Belkin F5D7230-4 (two of the same router)
# Belkin F5D7130 (access point)
# Buffalo WBR2-G54 (router with standard Buffalo firmware)
# Linksys WRT54G (may require Sveasoft firmware to be loaded)
# Motorola WGR850G (wireless router, with Motorola firmware)
