Trouble bridging 2-TM2300s as access points

       I have a TM2300 running the latest firmware that I use as a wireless access point connected to a wired network.  The computer is an X300 with the TM1400 card.

        I wanted to increase my range so I bought a 2nd TM2300 and am trying to bridge them.  I have set them up as following:

       Both same channel.  Both same SSID and WPA key.  Bridging is enabled on both and the MAC addresses of the other router have been typed in each. 

      When I try to use it I get a much better signal, and its SSID is correct in the TM utility.  However, I can't access the 'NET until I unplug the second (bridge)TM2300. 

 

Can anyone make any recommendations as to how to fix this?

 

Thanks,

Steve
