Finally finished our assignment today. One problem we faced was that we didn't know that one of the routers IP address was already existing.
In order to get into the control panel for the router by using the software (dd-wrt), we went to the browser and typed in the IP address. upon doing that, a page was displayed and it gave different configuration modes, wireless settings, administration settings etc. we went under the wireless bar and put our settings to AP- CLIENT ,Put the IP settings to static and changed the host part and kept the network part, other settings were also done. When pinging one PC from the other, we could read out that all the data was transfered and nothing lost. We gave the two routers names and we were able to bridge the two routers.
We noticed that Different subnets couldn't talk to each other until we used a gateway.The only problem we faced was in trying to connect the client PC to the internet and thats what we are working on today. As we further on did our assignment, in order for the Access point to be connected to the network we needed a gateway.
The other set of routers were challenging. The model was WRT54G version 7. The only thing we managed to do was to be able to see one PC from the other by setting the routers. It was not possible to bridge the routers by using the software WRT.We configured the routers and did the necessary settings. The following were the IP addresses in our assignment.
for the access point we used 10.1.1.190 (wan) and 192.168.2.1 (lan).
for the client, we used 192.168.2.2 (wan) and 192.168.3.1 (lan).
