How do I set up my Almond + as a wireless bridge?

[djc6535]

I asked to make sure I could do this before I backed the Almond+, which is why I got 3 of the suckers   But I can't figure out how to set the thing up as a wireless bridge. 

Basically I want to have my Almond+ connect to an existing wireless network, and bridge that network out to devices that are connected via ethernet.  How do I do that?

Did you update for firmware R065?
If that's done, please use the Range Extender feature for the one that'll be the bridge.
The Ethernet ports will be bridged automagically.

Is it possible to disable wireless clients on the Almond+ when in Repeater Mode? I want to use it as a strictly wireless to ethernet bridge.

Not at the moment, no.

Is that something being worked on? Seems like a fairly commonplace feature these days.

I don't know if I understand properly but maybe this can help as a solution:

- You can hide the 2.4 and 5 Ghz wifi so that no wireless device will connect to Almond+ in range extender mode. Only Ethernet devices will connect.
 
From the LCD: Wireless->Advanced Settings->Hide

Well, even easier, go into Wireless, Advanced and turn off the radio you're not using, then hide the other one.
It's not a perfect the solution, but I don't think we're planning on doing anything specific about the mode you want for now anyhow.

Would love to see this bridge mode enabled.
I want to see a way to use my cell phone (to tether to of course) as a backup internet connection.

Any chance on working on bridge mode without the wireless repeater portion?  It really seems like the bridge performance would be a whole lot better without the unit trying to rebroadcast all of the LAN data over the same SSID/frequency again..

Add another to those who want a wireless bridge mode!!  Been doing it with an ASUS to an Almond+, but cannot do it with another Almond+.

PLEASE!  This is pretty standard stuff.
