Emmanuel,
If you are still having problems after changing the mode from station to
ap-bridge, then confirm the following:
1. That the wireless card on your PC supports 802.11g band(2.4GHz-turbo) and
that it is set to it. Some 802.11b cards do not work with 802.11g. I will
advice that you set it to 2.4GHz-b.
2. That the wireless pigtail in the RB500 router is actually connected to
ant-b of wlan2 because "/inter wireless print" shows that the antenna mode
is set to ant-b, If you have not physically alter the position of the
pigtail on the wireless card(wlan2) I will advice that you change this back
to ant-a which should be the default.
Note that the flag will not show R (Running) until a station is connected to
the it(ap-bridge).
Regards
Dele
