Sorry, that is not the same!!

I'm connected to a router and a router does give me the IP address, a
bridge does not provide you with an IP address, so the system will
react differently.

As you should have noticed from my description, it goes wrong trying to
get a web address resolved after having received my IP address from the
router's DHCP.

Note that I use TWO routers. the one closest to my desktop gives the IP
address (router=192.168.1.1), but both need to be connected to get to
the internet. The other one from the ISP has 192.168.0.1. The cable
between both routers was broken.

It is the configuration I did choose, to get wifi coverage in whole the
house.

Like I said I have done my part, there is nothing more I can do, since
you do not seem to understand the issue.
