Sometimes we have to work with wireless client bridges offered from different vendors to get PCs or industrial terminals working without a built-in Wi-Fi interface.
To make this work with wired clients behind a Wireless client bridge and using DHCP you have to disable "Convert DHCP-OFFER and DHCP-ACK to unicast before forwarding" und Advanced settings "Unicast DHCP" in the SSID configuration parameter. Per default, the setting is enabled. But we need in this scenario a broadcast that the wired client is able to request and receive the IP address. A static IP address configured is, of course, working without disabling the setting. Please see the attached screenshot.
