wireless bridges and mesh box connectivity[]
Do you really want to bridge, or just have the LAN use the mesh for an Internet connection? If the latter, you need to set the device (sounds like a PheeNet WAP11) to AP Client mode. Also make sure the ESSID is exactly the same as the mesh, including case and spaces (if you use any).
I've recently bought a few 802.11 wireless bridge/AP from Solwise in
the hope of bridging an existing lan to the mesh but it seems the two
wireless devices are not talking The bridge manufacturer is unknown (Chinese origin) but refers to
Admtek in the web admin panel. I am wondering if there is any general tweaking
needed on the MeshAp though in order for this to work. So far the only changes I have made are to the bridge specifying the
Channel id, the ESSID (to match the ESSID of the mesh box) and that is to operate in Bridge mode. Other configurable settings I have kept as default
