    Hi .
    I have 2d1000 modems and one is bridged allowing access to remote parts of the home .

    The bridges d1000 seems intermittently to have effects on a lg smart TVs and a Samsung phone . Not allowing connection or not allowing internet access . So it works but not soundly .

    I'd like to replace the bridged d1000 with a router with built in parental controls . Or possibly replace both of the d1000s . Any thoughts anyone ?

    I think you are incorrectly using the term bridge in this and other threads. If you turn a D1000 into a bridge you would set it to bridge mode in the firmware and it becomes a modem only, this disables all routing and wireless.

    The term I think you are after is access point. To make a router function like an access point you disable DHCP and just use the LAN ports. You use an access point to extend your wired network wirelessly. Is this what you have?

    Then there is a wireless bridge, a wireless bridge is the opposite to an access point, it's radio connects to your existing wireless network and you connect your end devices to it using Ethernet. You cannot do this with a D1000 as it's not a function offered in the firmware, it's just not possible.

    Thanks high horse
    That's weird . I disabled dhcp but had to turn on bridge mode to get it to work with wireless . To answer your question , I was trying to extend the wireless range but using a spare router . Then using the spare router as parental control .
    Weirdly it working some of the time .

    Stop using bridge mode.


    Turn of DHCP, manually allocate the correct gateway and IPs, then itll work and you wont be dividing your house into three networks.

    If I put a few pics up . I hope you might see my errors .

    - I changed the up from 192.168.1.264 to 192.168.1.263 in the home networking
    - in wireless I kept a different ssid only and kept enabled wireless
    -in broadband I didn't change anything and this might be where my problem is

    That all looks fine. If you give it the same SSID and encryption as your main wireless router your end devices will roam.


    The errors you will be getting on the D1000 will be related to PPPoE not being able to login through the WAN port (internet or DSL port) you are now not using and you have no way to disable the WAN port. Ignore them. This is the trouble with using a device like this and not buying an access point. It's not it's intended purpose, it's a crippled device designed to be a modem only.
