I spent the morning working on setting up a wireless bridge between the internet connection in the hut and the hab lab. I reconfigured the CenturyLink router/modem in the hut to release DHCP information every six hours to reduce the number of reserved addresses. It appears the router was trying to connect through the bridge using the address 192.168.0.254 which was already reserved on the Century Link modem by another device. It is likely that a specific IP address would need to be reserved for the TP-Link router on the Century Link modem.

Thursday March 13, 2014 - HabLab Network

I spent the morning working on setting up a wireless bridge between the internet connection in the hut and the hab lab. I reconfigured the CenturyLink router/modem in the hut to release DHCP information every six hours to reduce the number of reserved addresses. It appears the router was trying to connect through the bridge using the address 192.168.0.254 which was already reserved on the Century Link modem by another device. It is likely that a specific IP address would need to be reserved for the TP-Link router on the Century Link modem.

I had issues getting the Tp-Link router set up as either a bridge or repeater and it was not appearing on the MAC access list of the Century Link modem in the hut. My suspision is the Linksys router is not properly relaying DHCP information between the Century Link modem and the TP-Link Router, but I don't have sufficient time availible to troubleshoot this issue further. Additionally, I'm not very familiar with the Tomato firmware that is installed on the device so I would need to research more about its operation in order to be capable of said troubleshooting. Currently, the TP-Link router is set to attempt a bridge to the HabLab network and to provide a LAN named HabLab2.
