However, while DHCP works fine on my other router (AVM Fritzbox, even the fonera gets an IP address when using connection mode "wifi", not "wifi bridge") the router obviously doesn't handle DHCP request through the fonera in bridge mode. As I stated before, when I assign an IP address to the computer by myself the connection works just fine. Maybe I have to change some settings in the Fritzbox to allow DHCP through Wifi-bridges?

Thank you again, further help would be highly appreciated! Cheers, Chris
