So as the title explains, I can't connect to the internet through a wireless bridge in my house. The setup is as follows;

ISP: See The Light

Router1: ZyXEL nbg4604

Router2: TP-LINK TL-WR841N (acting as the wireless bridge)

I have the ZyEXL set to AP+Bridge (under WDS settings) and I've put in the MAC address of the TP-Link Router with a designated WPA2-PSK password.

I've enabled WDS on the TP-Link Router and set the SSID and MAC address to be bridged to that of the ZyXEL.

Both devices are set to the same channel and the passwords both match. The IP addresses for both routers are different and DHCP on the bridge is turned off.

I've followed basically every tutorial on creating a wireless bridge I could find and I can't see where I'm going wrong.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.
 
Yeah, that's one of the first things I tried.

I've started from scratch a few times and for the first 10-20 seconds after I connect to the bridge the wireless icon on the task bar tells me I have internet connectivity, and when I check the 'Wireless network connection status' window from the Network and Sharing Center, I can see that it is indeed connected with IPv4 but when I try and load a webpage it disappears and changes to 'No Network Access'.

I'm not sure if this is just a blip and not a sign that something somewhere is working.
