WiFi bridge issues Connectivity problems Network setup challenges
I purchased a Wi-Fi bridge rated for 600M and installed it according to the instructions. It’s positioned 164M apart. The setup runs from my Starlink router through the POE adapter to the master bridge, with the subordinate bridge linked to the POE adapter and then to a Netgear Nighthawk Ax3000 master, all on the same channel. Both are functioning properly. I have two issues. First, setting it up requires changing my IP settings; after doing so, I can view the bridge interface but lose internet access on my desktop. Second, there’s no internet on the subordinate side despite being connected to Wi-Fi. The bridge is a Binatd Outdoor Wireless Bridge from Amazon—don’t worry about me being poor.
What IP subnet/range is your LAN on? What about the bridge devices? Post screenshots of your router's LAN setup page and the bridge devices' setup page(s).
I don't understand what's going on. I barely have time for tech stuff, so I fixed my own issue using Ethernet couplers and a long wire. When they're on the same channel, they keep pointing at each other, just a few hundred meters apart with a 500M range. Even the lights showed they were connected but not working. I've done more than expected.
