Then you discovered that DD-WRT is not bridging correctly? 2 separate problems. Arp requests weren't passing through the router, this is by design. > Can you install your own custom Iptables rules from the command line to > accomplish the bridging you desire in DD-WRT? Or is the failure in the > network interface drivers? Neither as I understand it. Problem is supposed to be in the implementation used for client bridging by BrainSlayer (dd-wrt dev). Some other firmware's based on OpenWRT are purported to work properly.

I'd expect that to work, as Problem is that still does NATTING which puts the MVP's on a different network, given that I have 3 mvp's in use with this config, that would complicate things needlessly IMO. > it's a common setup, which apparently works for wireless multimedia > devices that use broadcast packets (UPnP, etc.). True, but that also makes the wrt act like an AP, which I do not want, I want ALL wifi traffic to be sent through my router rather than having multiple AP's talking to the main AP. The term for client bridging with AP capabilies is bridge repeater mode = No Nat, bridging and AP all in one. > The WRT shouldn't need to do any "heavy lifting" as you have a separate > router isolating the wireless from your LAN. hmmmm -- Harondel J.
