I have problem with my WRT150N V1.1 in Client bridge mode.
I use first V24 RC6.2 and now EKO RC6 8790 and have same problem with client bridge. DHCP don't work, can not assign any ip address. And when I use a static address it work sometimes for the first web page. I have used the istallation guide
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
My primary router is WRT150N with linksys firmware
Using 802.11 set of standards you cannot simply bridge wireless stations. To solve this problem, the wds-station mode was created - it works just like a station, but connects only to APs that support WDS. There is no WDS support in the original linksys firmware, so the solution to your problem is to flash your main router with DD-WRT.
But in the installation guide for wireless bride I can read.
"In the case in which we are interested, a wireless device running DD-WRT such as a WRT54G is configured as a Wireless Bridge between a remote wireless router (of any make/brand)"
So I don't thinka I need upgrade my primary router with dd-wrt
In most cases an AP that works in both client and bridge modes are capable of transparent bridging. However unless the AP, when operating in client mode can bridge correctly or can clone the members Mac address, it will not forward packets correctly and disallow the use of other subnets. Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GL routers with the original firmware operates as AP only, but can run in Bridge mode if setup with dd-wrt.
I have a problem with my wrt150n v 1.1 with DD-WRT v24 RC 6.2 std. I am trying to configure wireless virtual interface with Network configuration: Unbridged, but when I try to fill in IP and netmask and hit save it turns as bridged again. I do not how to fix it. If you have any ideas please help.
I installed v24 RC-6 on two WRT150N routers without problems. I tried to set up WDS, this also without problems, but the trouble was that the range sucks! I can't make it work for more than 3 meters. If I restore factory defaults, I can connect with my laptop over 20 meters but with poor signal. I started a separate thread describing this problem in more detail. http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28442
If I could get the same range with WDS as without, it would be fine but it doesn't look good at the moment. DD-WRT is great, so I hope I can make it work but I'm in a bit of despair at the moment since I got these just for using WDS..

Hello, I'm new here and was looking on-line for tweaks for my WRT150N (firmware version 1.01.9-latest), and I would like to try this DD-WRT firmware, but don't know anything about it, so can someone answer these questions for me:
1. What does the DD-WRT firmware do for my router?
2. If for some reason is causes problems after the firmware install, can I re-install the original firmware from Linksys?
3. Can installing 3rd party firmware to my WRT150N, cause it to stop working completely, and to where it would not be usable or flashable back to original firmware?

I there, thank you very much for your existance! I'm new around in the forum spite the fact that i'm using this firmware for some months ago. I have bought a WRT150N and i have successfully install the firmware, but with some problems. The wireless is not working. I change the SSID and the security and it dont connect to anything. I have test with V27 RC5 and the RC6.2 and it has exactly the some problem. And with RC5 it doesn't work at all with PPOE authentication.
Hello,
I bought a refurbished 150N from Tigerdirect yesterday, went home and did everything step by step although I used firefox, I am not sure if I screwed up but everything seem to have gone well except for the ERROR message on the tab of the firefox windows, but everything was uploaded successfully, although it asked me to connect to the internet and I connected the Ethernet to the blue jack and hit continue, it also got stuck rebooting(took more than 10 minutes and nothing). At the end everything changed to Chinese and I switched back to English. I am still on the original screen for DD, I changed the name and the password. I still cant get anything to work, any ideas?
