Likewise that AP that the DD-WRT "Repeater Bridge"       is bridged to is wired to a switch which is wired to the main router which       is wired to the modem - all of which are on the same subnet.              I guess what you're suggesting I think about is that the phone, when put in       hotspot mode, is on a DIFFERENT subnet - which I'm sure it is.              I am looking at the suggestion from Andy about DNSmasq to maybe fix that.       https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DNSMasq_as_DHCP_server              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
