setting up my dd wrt v24 as a client bridge

DD-WRT gets a WAN IP via DHCP - all fine. The fileserver - and all over devices - can access the Internet via the eth0 interface (configured to be WAN). The fileserver can see all network devices fine (can ping fine). I have a fileserver that's plugged into one of the ethernet ports on the back of the router. Everything works perfectly apart from one issue.

I have a Netgear WNR2000v3 router with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/19/12) std installed. Press 'Save' again.Ĭlick the 'Security' tab and uncheck every box on the page except 'Filter Multicast.' Press 'Apply Settings' and reboot your router to finish setup.A bit of a frustrating problem I've been facing - I just don't know what's wrong. Open the 'Setup' tab and click 'Advanced Routing.' Change Operating Mode to 'Router' and press 'Save.' Switch to the 'Services' tab and disable DNSMasq. Click 'Save,' then browse to the router's new address at 192.168.1.2 and log in. Change the Local IP Address to 192.168.1.2 and the Gateway and Local DNS to 192.168.1.1. Open the 'Wireless Security' tab and set all options in both sections to match the security settings on your primary router. Enable Wireless SSID Broadcast and set Network Configuration to 'Bridged.' Click 'Save.' Enter a network name for the secondary router that differs from the primary router. Press 'Add' in the Virtual Interfaces section. Set the Network Configuration to 'Bridged.' If you do not know these or later settings, log in to your primary router and check them.

Set the Wireless Mode to 'Repeater Bridge.' Change the Wireless Network Mode and Wireless Network Name (SSID) to match the same settings used on the primary router.

Log in to the router when prompted or, if you performed a reset, enter a new username and password.Ĭlick the 'Wireless' tab.
