Hi,

I have a been a happy Vigor user for a good couple of years and never went to this forum for a simple reason - never had a problem with my setup until I bought Edimax repeater. Long story short, my configuration:

Root router: draytek vigor 2830n (192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0) SSID: mynetwork
Extender: ip: 192.168.1.150/255.255.255.0 gw: 192.168.1.1, MAC: 80-1F-02-69-83-62 SSID: mynetwork-extender, DHCP off, 'Obtain an IP address automatically' set

I am able to connect to mynetwork-extender (my laptop gets 192.168.1.104/255.255.255.0, gw: 192.168.1.1, it's MAC is 00:1e:65:58:4f:fe) and ping all machines on 192.168.1.0 network connected to the root router, with an exception of the root router itself: 192.168.1.1. Also I am not able to ping external servers e.g. google's 173.194.67.94

Interestingly on Draytek logs i see:
Apr 24 23:50:03 gateway Vigor: Local User (MAC=80-1F-02-69-83-62): 192.168.1.104 -> 173.194.67.94 (ICMP) Echo
Apr 24 23:50:03 gateway Vigor: Local User: 173.194.67.94 -> 192.168.1.104 (ICMP) Echo Reply

There are not many settings on Edimax but what made me wonder is that vigor logs mac of the repeater but IP of my laptop, so it looks IP packets are going through but they are getting lost on the way back.

I am wonder if anyone has experienced a similar issue or have any experience with Edimax.

Thanks
Wojtek

Just after posting this message I realised where the problem is, binding IP to MAC on Vigor. After setting up a static IP address (different to the one that was binded) magic happened Oh well, I answered my own question but it might help others (e.g. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1870623#r10)
