    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    Gave up on the WRT54GX Bought a Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N-AP. Stock firmware wld probably have been capable enough, but I flashed it to DD-WRT immediately, just because I don't want to have to learn yet another web GUI. In DDWRT's main setup page, I set "DHCP Type: DHCP Forwarder" (the only other...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    Routing table? Does this look OK? There is only one entry in the routing table. I just disabled the NAT... if that matters at all. Not much difference.

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    In case it wasn't apparent, my intention is for all desktops, laptops, smartphones in the household to get DHCP from the main (ddwrt) downstairs router. Such that all of them get IPs in the same subnet, 192.168.1.X Hope this is OK? I ask because I was thrown off when reading this guide on...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    Updated it to DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) mega - build 14896 Did flash without reset method, thinking I could save on reconfiguring, but the resultant router was a bit wonky, some clients could connect, and others only half-connect. And saw some fields in the newly updated dd-wrt were fillled...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    A related question - on deploying wireless routers without using their "routing bit" What should be filled in for the setting indicated in the attached screenshot? Since we are not using the WAN port, one might think that it doesn't matter. Would be nice if these firmwares had a "AP mode"...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    This is the output when pinging from the Blackberry9700 connected to the 54GX Although, often times, it's 0% success over 10 tries. Really confounding. I really hope that the problem is only within the WRT54GX. Because this is the second router that I have placed in that position. The first...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    Just verified this. A laptop that has problems when wirelessly connected thru the 54GX, when instead connected with a CAT5 to the 54GX, does get DHCP from the main router, and reaches the internet normally, as if the 54GX is a normal plain switch.

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    Yes, I have set CH1 downstairs and CH11 upstairs, no channel bonding, no changing the beacon and threshold settings, still the default "100ms, 2346,2347" on both APs. I now have 2 devices (a BB9700 and a Win7 laptop) that both are fine getting to the internet thru the DDWRT main router. Both...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    done. back to 20MHz width now. CH1 downstairs, and CH11 upstairs. At the moment, yes. But for the last few months, laptops in the position of PC05 would intermittently loose the ability to get connected, even though the signal was strong, and sometimes required reboot of the upstairs router...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    OK, I've changed the downstairs router to CH1, 20MHz width. No difference. Have not tried the beacon interval and thresholds yet, since I can see that the 100ms and 2346/2347 settings are already working in the downstairs router, and the same settings are in the upstairs router.

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    Thanks. Ever since the beginning, I've been using separate SSIDs. Although I did not touch the channel settings, (default: auto), until now. As described in my update to Post#1, I am using CH6 and CH11. The downstairs router is fine, the problem is always with the upstairs router. The issue I...

    Home WiFi, Using a 2nd router as additional AP, what's wrong?

    Hi all, Do you see anything wrong with this arrangement? I was under the impression that hooking up a common wireless-router via the numbered ports, rather than the WAN port, was the main thing to making it run like almost like a wireless switch, i.e. clients would receive DHCP from the...
