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?

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.

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!
