There is no first or secondary network in this mode. It is one network. Check
domain names could be resolved. Is it possible to ping some ext ip (f.e.
8.8.8.8) from PC being connected to router 2?
Roots on PC and tracepath to some host (tracert on Win) should be viewed
first...

Okay, I am a bit confused. Router #1 (192.168.1.1) which is hooked directly to
the modem has a different SSID/Wireless name (The Princess Network) than the
router #2 (192.168.1.2) SSID/Wireless name (The Jordan Network). I am trying to
wirelessly extend the network with router #2. That is what I mean by first and
secondary network.
Are you saying the SSID/Wireless name should be the same for both routers?
TIA,

I mean the network is the same 192.168.1.0/24.
Is router #1 configured correctly? Can you access the internet from device
connected to it? I hope you can.
Now, router #2: its SSID/Wireless name shouldn't be set. When it is being
connected to main AP (router #1) it takes wireless settings from it (SSID,
etc). End user should not feel any difference to what device he is connected in
the repeater mode (except signal strength of course).

Yes, router is configured correctly and can access internet from device(s)
connected to router #1.
Just took SSID/Wireless name out of router #2 (Should I "hide SSID"?).
I will test signal strength in a bit and post back.
Thanks for your help,
Carl

Sorry, it is AP & AP client - so, different SSID/Wireless name can be used. But
I think it is more comfortable to use the same SSID on main AP and repeaters.
You can move from one point to another and network card will switch between AP
automatically.
Anyway, it seems there is routing problem in your case. I've just tried it
myself (RT-N16U as main AP and RT-N65U as the repeater). Works without any
problems. Maybe check DHCP routes are turned on
http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_GWStaticRoute_Content.asp
Also check that AP clients are not isolated -
http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_WAdvanced2g_Content.asp (on both devices)

I have been using different SSID names for the 2 routers just so that I know
which one I am hooked up to. So, currently I have router #2 SSID as "The Jordan
Network".
It is listed in the "available networks" and I can connect no problem. The icon
in the system tray says that I have "internet access" but I don't - web sites
come up "unable to load" & the message at the left bottom of my browser says
"resolving host"
In the config pages of Router #2 under "Network Map", "BN750DB" should I be
filling in "Authentication Method:", "WPA Encryption:", "WPA-PSK Key:" etc and
if so should it be the same as router #1? Right now I do have it filled in and
using exactly the same info as router #1.
Also, DHCP routes in #1 are turned on & AP clients are not isolated in either
router.

Not completely sure I've understood your question, but the answer is - it can
be the same or different. It should be the same in
http://192.168.1.2/Advanced_WMode2g_Content.asp. On webpage where you config
bridge with the first router.
Try to set DNS server on the PC (8.8.8.8). Try to open any webpage. (change DNS
settings back). Please let me know if an address can be resolved.
Can you please show some output:
1) Go to http://192.168.1.2/Advanced_Console_Content.asp
hostname -f
ping -c 1 192.168.1.1
netstat -rn
2) The same for the main AP, go to
http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_Console_Content.asp
hostname -f
ping -c 1 192.168.1.2
netstat -rn

Yes, it is the same on the bridge page.
For: http://192.168.1.2/Advanced_Console_Content.asp hostname -f I get BL-N750DB
For: http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_Console_Content.asp hostname -f I get - Belky1
(what I named it)
ping -c 1 192.168.1.2 I get: 1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received,
1000x6400a0acket loss
netstat -rn I get:

If you can't ping 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1 tells that most probably there
is no connection between devices. (router#1 and router#2)
Go to http://192.168.1.2/Main_WStatus2g_Content.asp (if you're trying to bridge
via 2G interface). Find "MAC (STA)" - the mac address of interface which
connects to router#1 main AP. Let it be "MAC_2"
Then open http://192.168.1.1/Main_WStatus2g_Content.asp. MAC_2 should be in "AP
Main Stations List".
Check it is.

Good morning,
From a C prompt I can ping successfully 192.168.1.2 when connected through
router #1. From a C prompt I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 when connected through
router #2.
I used a "C prompt" because on the console is this message: "Warning! Console
emulator may be used only for commands which return result immediately.
Commands such as 'top', 'ping', 'traceroute', etc. will block the WebUI."
Next comes:
MAC (STA) @ http://192.168.1.2/Main_WStatus2g_Content.asp is "00:0C:43:30:92:F2"
Opening http://192.168.1.1/Main_WStatus2g_Content.asp this is under "AP Main
Station List": 00:0C:43:30:92:F2 OFDM 20M 7 NO NO 54 M -43 NO
00:48:36
So, it is there.
I wasn't sure what you meant by "Let it be MAC_2"

Hello,
It's evening by UTC+4 =)
So they're connected. o_O Let me think a little
I know about that warning, that's why I wrote the command with flag '-c 1'. It
sends only one ping and exits. By default ping output is a continuos loop,
which will block WebUI.
Can you please post the output of commands from post #7 from device consoles.
Previously you posted that 192.168.1.2 can't be reached from 192.168.1.1 (ping
fails). Maybe you already have some other device in the network with
192.168.1.2?
Also check please the following: connect via router #2. Check that PC got IP
address via DHCP. Connect to 192.168.1.1 from other device (maybe mobile
phone...). Open http://192.168.1.1/Main_DHCPStatus_Content.asp press refresh
and check that IP address of PC (connected via router #2) is in DHCP leases. In
other words you need to check that you get IP from DHCP on router #1.

Okay, from post #7:
1) Go to http://192.168.1.2/Advanced_Console_Content.asp

Yes, it is. Very weird!!.. That's why I asked:
> Maybe you already have some other device in the network with 192.168.1.2?
Can be checked by viewing connections on 192.168.1.1:
# ip neigh show
The last idea for now, check that netmask of 192.168.1.2 is 24 (255.255.255.0)
http://192.168.1.2/Advanced_LAN_Content.asp

Definitely router #2 is the only device in network with ip 192.168.1.2!!
http://192.168.1.2/Advanced_LAN_Content.asp -> netmask is 255.255.255.0
Sigh
Not sure if I mentioned it before but when I am connected to router #2
(192.168.1.2) I can connect to/configure the peripherals that run through
router #1 i.e. My Brother wireless printer, my Obihai ATA (direct connection to
router #1) and my D-Link NAS (direct connection to router #1} - I assume that,
that means router #2 sees router #1 and everything attached to it. ut for
whatever reason router #1 is not letting router #2 access the internet.
Also, the "network map" (http://192.168.1.2/index.asp) of router #2 (when
connected to router #2) shows router #1 as a "client.
But,the "client status" (http://192.168.1.1/index.asp) of router #1 (when
connected to router #1) does not show router #2 on the "client list"
Double sigh!

I can see you have decided to bridge them not yesterday... =) Maybe it's easier
to get another device which operates like it should do?..
Sorry, I can't say anything else not having the device.
Try to do it on stock firmware. Their wiki says it can be used as repeater.
Write to the support .

Lol - yes you are correct!
It certainly would be nice to have someone here in person to help me figure it
out! Either I am missing something really simple or the Belkin 750's with
Padavan firmware are not capable of bridging between 2 routers!! I may
investigate trying to do it with stock firmware.
I really do appreciate all your help!!
Many regards,
Carl

Just as a last note - is it possible that the Belkin BN750DB is not physically
capable of being a repeater regardless of the firmware?
Just a thought.

> Router #1 is set up in "Wireless router mode" in "Operation Mode", set up as
"AP only" channel 6 in "Bridge Mode", DHCP is turned on.
> Router #2 is set up in "Access Point mode" in "operation mode", set up as "AP
& AP client" channel 6, WPA2-Personal AES (same as original network) in "Bridge
Mode", IP sharing off by default.
I have had similar problems in my own setup.
Switch back both routers to "Wireless router mode" in operations and then setup
all the other options manually. I think AP mode disables some routing that is
needed in a bridge case.

Hi! I've got the same issue.. what encryption are you using on the main router?
have you tried changing it? (tested both WPA/WAP2 AES/TKIP?) tried an open
network?

For me, at least, I've found that using the 5GHz radio as a bridge instead of
the 2.4GHz radio.. works (: which radio did you use?
Original comment by spwn...@gmail.com
on 12 Dec 2014 at 10:01
I have both radios set up as bridges and cannot access the internet on either
one. I can access all my peripherals - printer, NAS etc. but no internet
through the bridges :o(
