Review and Guide to setup the Tenda W150M WiFi N 150mbps Wifibridge for all Receivers

[deano41]

Just got myself one of these from the sponsor, what a doddle to set up and a great piece of kit.. Thanks for the recommendation...

Just bought two of these from the sponsor but cannot make it working.. I have followed the guide.. Tried various things . Still not working
My requirement is to configure this device in a way so that this can repeat the Wifi and also the ip box can connect to this device and get internet connection.
For that the mode Seems to be Client + AP Mode according to the manual . I am putting my settings below .

My Main router is Netgear WGR614v7 Firmware Version-V2.0.23_1.0.23
And the wifi settings are as follows

somehow Internet is not being shared..

When I change the ipv4 settings so that ip can be automatically obtained form the device on computer. It's not getting a right IP..

I have tried rebooting . Still no luck .. Any guidance will be appreciated .. I have been on this for hours now..

Are you connecting to a receiver after config of the adapter? Is the receiver set to DHCP?

[9jackson]

Thanks Sicilian..

Sorry was out yesterday afternoon. Will be leaving for work soon.. I haven't connected the adapter to the receiver yet.. I connected the adapter to the pc and set it to receive ip automatically(DHCP) .. which it could not. Can try to connect to receiver if that's the way in the evening.. ..

Has anyone managed to set this up with a Spiderbox ? I tried yesterday but still not managed to sort it out. Trying to set it up in Client+AP mode

They do work with a spiderbox no probs. Follow the guide, setup on PC first, then set Spiderbox to DHCP and connect to Spiderbox. You will most likely need to reboot the spiderbox after you connect the W150M to it.

i have noticed the spiderbox is notorious for loosing connection

the way i fix it is go to netwrok menu, then to ip and clear it and save so its all 0.0.0.0.

then i restart spiderbox and allow it to reassign the ip address and job done

there was a mandatory Ethernet patch released for the spiderbox receivers a few days ago.
try loading that then set up the wifibridge again.

Tried at the friend's place ... for whom i bought these..seems to be working.. i can't understand.. what i did wrong though.. may be something wrong with the base router settings..anyways..thanks..

Really pleased with my purchase from the site sponsors. got it to set up my old dm7020 . but during testing decide to give it ago on my Panasonic blu ray recorder works a treat ,tried to use another brand before on the panny but it would not power it up ,but the PSU that comes with the Tenda got round that problem ,cables now remove partner thinks well done . and i say thanks to sponsor for quick delivery alls happy

I ordered one of these late on wedesday night, it was in the post next day and an hour ago some bloke in a red van whistling a happy tune handed me a package. It's now set up awaiting some shuffling of gadgets around the home.. well done to our site sponsors.

[Larry-G]

i received mine last weekend and have only just gotten round to setting it up.

now my house has walls easily 2 foot thick and it's a nightmare to get a wifi signal upstairs from my netgear router housed in the livingroom but with this i now have a wifi bridge setup that covers the whole house and most of the back garden too. from start to finnish this took me about 20 minutes and the device it self is so small it just tucks away behind a DM600 in a small back bedroom.

i would highly recomend this product to any one.

I can't get it to obtain a IP address from the router on 2 PC's I have tried, also on DU +. I have a Linksys 54G on a WEP security. I can get into Tenda setup > scan and obtain and accept Linksys wireless data, also put in password for WEP > load the settings and reboot. Put the TCP/ IP back to receive any Ip address automatically, but it searches and unable to find an address. I also have a wireless stand alone USB which I have no problem in finding an Internet connection, after configurations. I have tried all sorts of combinations, but no success. Anyone had it working on WEP security, or other ideas.

[Sicilian]

Yes works fine with WEP security. Make sure all the wifi details are 100% correct, including the channel. Maybe even reboot your router before doing the Tenda setup.

Make sure the Tenda is set to client + ap mode and after you complete the wizard when you going to 192.168.2.1 the Tenda automatically reboots itself to save the settings. With the Tenda still connected to PC set the pc's network card back to DHCP.
