I enjoy a repeater now due to this write-up on the Repeater Bridge. I followed it to the tee and it worked perfectly. Although not for the light of heart, The DD-WRT micro code saved me a few dollars updating an old WRT54Gv6 as a repeater for my Wireless G network.

No setup changes are required to be made to your host-router / AP except that you usually must use WPA2-AES ONLY for dd-wrt to work. Also, some other revisions or adjustments may be desirable, as stated below. if your host AP is 192.168.1.x, then your repeater could be subnet 192.168.2.x or 192.168.69.1 or any other unique subnet in your network. If you need a repeater-type solution in the same subnet you are in the wrong place. Then you can ping IP of Google to make sure that the DD-WRT is having internet access. We use the Client bridge method to setup our DD-WRT as a repeater. By default, DD-WRT will have that mode for most of routers. On some routers, depending on the chipset they have, it will have the – repeater mode by default, which you can use that as well. Client Bridge Repeater Repeater Bridge Two routers (1 Client Mode, 1 AP Mode) Requires admin control over all routers, and the routers must have compatible WDS implementations • Does not require control over host access point/routers; can connect to a host you don't control • • • • • Supports multiple wired client devices • • The duplicate MAC address are the clients behind the DD-WRT "client bridge" radio. And these duplicate MAC addresses will be the same MAC address as your DD-WRT "client bridge" radio. - - - Summing up Although DD-WRT "client bridge" radio connected devices may talk through the bridge, it is not reliable for all traffic and protocols. [ edit] Repeater / Repeater Bridge Extend the Wireless access area using a second router WIRELESSLY connected to the primary. The secondary router must have dd-wrt installed; the primary does not need dd-wrt. Repeater Bridge - A wireless repeater with DHCP & NAT disabled, clients on same subnet as host AP (primary router).

I've been using dd-wrt regularly for about 5 years now and it's served me well as a repeater bridge within my home network. No complaints. Recently, a local merchant I do business with was telling me (complaining) about how he is just out of range of being able to pick up a Bright House Cable wifi hotspot and how, as a BHN customer, he'd like to be able to connect so he has Internet at his

The LAN interface subnet will be used only as a “management” interface, as devices connecting to the Wi-Fi repeater will be on the main network's subnet instead. You will have to set your PC with a static address in the same subnet as the LAN interface (like 192.168.2.10 for our example) to connect again to the Wi-Fi repeater's Luci GUI or SSH.

The first, is the wireless link between the remote AP and the DD-WRT router. This is configured on the DD-WRT routers physical interface so that the DD-WRT router can join the remote AP's network as a client, just like a laptop would.

DD-WRT has been impressing users since its inception in 2005, and is the go-to alternative router firmware due to its longevity of existence and support of the largest array of devices. Consequently, DD-WRT can claim the largest community of users. It's the backbone of what we do here at FlashRouters.
