I have added the Virtual Interface and set the password, but the new SSID is not broadcasting. Also, when I go to Setup->Networking->DHCPd and click the "Add" button, nothing happens. No popups, no extra options, nothing. In fact, none of the "Add" buttons are responsive on the entire Setup->Networking page.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?

You will have to use a K3.x build. Not sure the 160nv3 can run a k3x.
Another option is use an old build ... probably one recommend in wiki for that router.
The k26 build 25974 will probably work but k26 builds after that are broken when using security on a VAP
Thanks, yeah, I'm running K2.6. I didn't even know what the difference was (2.6 vs. 3.x) until mrjcd's post forced me to look into it.
I'm currently debating whether I want to downgrade to the older K2.6 build or upgrade to a K3.x build. I'm seeing that K3.x usually results in slower speeds, especially on older routers like mine, but my ISP connection's not that fast. As long as it doesn't affect internal LAN speeds, I suppose it might not make a difference.
There is 3 pages here worth reading about the wrt160nv3 iffin you want a repeater or repeater bridge -

Same principle applys about VAPs not working on newer k2.6 builds on any config.
Thanks! Very good reads. By coincidence (ISP is forcing us to upgrade our internet plan), we decided to buy a new router so I guess I'll just leave the WRT160N as it is as a backup unit.
