Hello,
I've got my AC66U running in AP Mode with the latest stable release of Merlin's excellent firmware. However, I'm running into an issue - for some reason my wireless clients aren't able to connect, even though if I restore my old config and plug the router back into WAN connection they start working again. My best guess is it might not be passing DHCP packets to the clients? They don't show up in the DHCP logs (BIND running on a centos 6.4 box).

Pretty tired but I'll do some additional testing tomorrow. I've tried with the WAN port plugged into the network and with one of the LAN ports the result is identical. This is what is in the log, I suspect it has something to do with the problem but I'm so tired I can't think:

Thanks!
 
It should work just fine with the network cable plugged into a LAN port on the router.

What is your routers LAN IP? Did you remember to assign it a static IP outside of your DHCP pool range?
