Recently installed it on a bunch of ASUS RT-N10s, I think I paid about RM100 for them.

I have a Linksys E1000 Ver.2.1.01 (build 5) and a WAP54G. Some source says it's has access point integrated (source) but I couldn't find a single setting related to AP/repeater in the router's setting page. Pre-purchase result gone wrong. :$

I have Googled around and also chat with Linksys support. With the devices that I have at the moment, I need to connect both physically and get another WAP54G to act as a repeater or AP.

I understand that E1000 v2 is not supported, is it possible to downgrade its firmware to what supported by DD-WRT?

Hi, just flashed dd-wrt on my tp-link 1043nd, anyone get the USB port working with printer

It's me again..

I got myself an used WRT54G flashed with DD-WRT v24-sp2.. but I couldn't get it connect to the Internet. At first, I can see a WAN IP at the top right corner of the setting page but couldn't get onto the net. Same as wireless, I can connect and get a valid IP address but no Internet connection.

My current (or intended) setup:



Both ADSL and WRT54G would be located at 2nd floor while WAP54G as a repeater at GF.

What I've done:
Setup - Basic Setup
[1] WAN Setup - configured PPPoE
[2] Network Setup - Local IP (192.168.1.1), Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0), Gateway (0.0.0.0), Local DNS (0.0.0.0)
[3] Network Address Server Setting (DHCP) - DHCP Type (DHCP Server), DHCP Server enabled, DNS Servers (Streamyx DNS)
Wireless - Basic Settings
[1] Wireless Mode - AP (as this would be the device providing the wireless connection)

My assumptions.. the above would be the common settings to get the device connect to the Internet.

Am I missing something? Btw, this is the first time I'm playing with repeater.

boringpig = reset the devices for 30 sec try again

tried.. this time not getting a WAN IP.. but i managed to create a repeater..



Is it possible to configure it so that my laptop/smartphone can connect by using the wireless connection instead of cable? Like below:



Thanks!

It should work which firmware version are u using now?

DD-WRT? it's v24-sp.. from what i can see from the setting page..

Pls choose the stable version not the beta one :-) or purchase the sp1 special version

Man this thread is so far back.

I recently did my first repeater setup, using an Atheros based router, something that I regret .

Is it possible to repeat a repeater? As in the second repeater is not connected to the AP, but to the first repeater (which is connected to the AP). If yes, should the gateway (of the second repeater) be the address of the first repeater? According to the DDWRT forums this is possible, but I could not find a clear answer on how the setup should be.

Another thing is DHCP doesn't seem to work for wireless, I'd have to use static ip to surf the net. It appears that many people using Atheros are having this problem.

hi,

may i know can i setup my vpn acc via dd-wrt firmware ? mean no more connect to vpn via openvpn software, iszit posible doing that ? plz guide, many thanks.

I'm using Linksys E3000 with DD-WRT (build 16785) Std USB NAS. Which channel width I should select 20Mhz or 40Mhz for my 2.4Ghz? And I have disable the 5Ghz will it reduce my wireless signal?

40Mhz is for wifi N 300Mbit/s.

But I only can get 144mbps.

That is good enough already :-)

just flashed build 16785 the wireless signal is terrible. Wireless signal cannot last for 1 days and drop to 20mbps+ only.

But some device has issues connecting to those on 40MHz right? Like my iPad will have some issues connecting to it. Revert it back to 20MHz will solve it.

Yup... plus some routers work better with the stock firmware. One example is TP LINK 1043ND. I hope the developers will make a ddwrt special edition for it.
Currently it's the most voted atheros based router to get the special edition.

how to downgrade the version. just browser the version that i would like but not successfully. why?
