I'm figuring you don't have this but instead you have a second
192.168.0.0/24 network inside your primary internal network. The Edimax
isn't a bridge but a second firewall/gateway with its own private
192.168.0.0/24 network that's isolated from your primary internal network.
Actually like many such devices these days, it seems like how you can
use the the
Edimax is dependent on software configuration. By default, devices
like this typically
come up in wi-fi router mode.According to the manual located here:
http://www.edimax.com/edimax/mw/cufiles/files/download/manual/transfer/Wireless/BR-6228nS_nC_V2/BR-6228nS_V2_nC_V2_Manual.pdf
it can be put into: Wi-Fi Router, Access Point, and Range Extender
modes. Which it is in depends on software
configuration and how the Edimax physically connects to the rest of
your network. It might be a good idea to verify
that the device is correctly configured.

Ok, so how should the device be configured? It's reporting that it's
configured as an access point. Unfortunately, the documentation
doesn't go into a great deal of detail about what each mode does. It
makes me think that ma...@mohawksoft.com is right, just get a router
that DD-WRT supports, so one knows what one is getting.
But to review, my configuration is this:
|---| Ethernet ||
| Actiontec V1000H || Edimax N150 |
| router|| 192.168.0.20 |
| 192.168.0.1 |||
|---| | | |

| Ethernet | Wireless Ch 9 | | |

PC 2 PC 4
192.168.0.14192.168.0.18
PC3 can access the Actiontec's browser configuration page
PC3 can access the Edimax's browser configuration page
PC3 can ping PC1
PC2 cannot access the printer, and ping fails
PC3 can access Samba shares on PC 4
PC3 can access Windows shares on PC1
PC2 cannot ping PC4
PC2 cannot access the Edimax browser page, nor ping its advertised
192.168.0.20 address
All connections to the Printer, PC3, PC4 from the Edimax are over wireless.
All PCs IP addresses are shown in the Actiontec status page (the
Actiontec is the DHCP server for the network), except for Edimax's IP
address.
That's not quite what I'd expect from access point mode. I think it's
a flaw in the Edimax. It should repeat any packets it receives over its
other wireless and Ethernet connections.
For access point mode, the instructions are to connect the cable from
the Actiontec to one of the LAN ports, not the WAN port. Yes, I've
checked that again.
