I can get the entire setup working just fine with DD-WRT v24-sp1, but when I try to copy the entire setup using v24-sp2 it fails to connect to the host router. For the time being I've gone back to v24-sp1, since it guaranteed to work for me.
I know v24-sp2 is still in the beta phase, but has anyone else been able to successfully setup their WHR-HP-G54 as a wireless bridge? If so, is there something missing from the tutorial that needs to be set?
Dump SP1. Read the announcements at the top of the forum before going any further.
You appear to be copying config files to a different build. That's a no no. What type of bridge are you trying to create? _________________ SIG:

There are four different ways of creating a bridge, all of which are explained in the peacock thread. All of them work fine with all builds after SP1, if you configure them properly, but they are different and require different configuration.
You want client bridge, I believe.
Whether you need vint or newd is also explained in the peacock thread. You want newd.
The differences between 12307 and BS builds would take too long to explain....use either 11296 or 12307. Again, that is also in...(guess where)
So....read the peacock carefully. _________________ SIG:

Thanks for the help Murrkf. It's greatly appreciated. I'm reading through the Peacock thread now. Hopefully everything works when I do the upgrade to dd-wrt.v24-12307_NEWD_std.

I am sure it will. _________________ SIG:

I loaded dd-wrt.v24-12307_NEWD_std on my WHR-HP-G54 and then did a hard reset(30-30-30), and it won't connect to my host router(Siemens Gigaset SE657). I'm trying to use the WHR-HP-G54 in bridge mode. I following the bridging tutorial exactly as shown.
The same process worked fine when I was using v24-sp1, but doesn't with v24-sp2. The Wireless-G light on my router keeps blinking when I try to connect to the host router.
Hi, here I do use the WHR-HP-G54 for our WIFI link to the main provider, and we do host servers using the repeater function using the 12307 micro-plus NEWD without any trouble.
I am pretty sure you have a mistake in your configuration.
Try using an unencrypted link and a fixed IP for your bridge, then try with encryption. WEP, WPA, etc.
Also, do the same using the DHCP of your main AP. It could be an issue from this point of view, and that it does not provide the IP, or the DHCP is out of free IPs. Check that.

Yup. You've done something incorrectly. Which bridge type did you configure and which instructions did you folllow. _________________ SIG:

I know I'm configuring the my client router properly, because the same settings work just fine with v24-sp1, and on my Linksys WRT54G2 DD-WRT v24-sp2 10/30/08 micro. I used the guide above successfully in all instances except with my WHR-HP-G54 and v24-sp2. Is there a step missing from the guide? Please advise.
I presume you want a client bridged router, with no wireless clients, on the same subnet as the primary router? _________________ SIG:

Ya, my PS3 and media center should connect to the bridge using a cable. The bridge should connect to my host router wirelessly.
I gave that tutorial a try too, but I still couldn't get my bridge to connect to the host router, that's why I reverted back to the other tutorial. I noticed a new build was released today, so maybe I'll wipe everything clean again and try with that version.
BTW, just should you know the wireless mode is set to wireless-G, with 128-bit WEP encryption, and the transmission rate is 54 Mbps. I've tried to match the settings as closely to my host router as possible.
10.0.0.252(Host Router)
10.0.0.253(WHR-HP-G54 wireless bridge)
10.0.0.254(WRT54GV2 wireless bridge)
The IPs i'm using are different, but that should give you an idea.
If I can't get it to work tonight, then I'll try switching to 128-bit WPA encryption, and set the transmission rate to auto.
This is not a build issue. Get it sorted out before you change builds.
However, you might have provided the answer....did you set the transmission to 54 instead of auto? That will not work. People believe that setting it to 54 will keep it at 54. But, if the signal cannot support that rate, you will get NO signal. Set it to auto, and let the router handle the speed.
Try no encryption and get that working first.
BTW...I did some heavy editing on that wireless bridge guide...in case you look back at it and find it changed. There was some weird stuff there. I only ran SP1 for a few days, so some of what I saw didn't make sense to me. _________________ SIG:

Thanks for the tip Murrkf. I will try setting my transmission rate to auto. Hopefully that fixes the problem. It work fine with v24-sp1, but I guess not with v24-sp2.
I also used a shared authentication. Should I set that to auto too? or can I leave it on shared? I'll try to get it working without any encryption first.
