So after installing the latest build for the RT N12 dd-wrt.v24-14896_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12.trx the router runs perfectly in repeater bridge mode. Great work to everyone here. I was just wondering if this setup was possible or do I need a dual band?
Have my main router in N mode only and have the RT N12 in mixed mode for legacy devices? Will it allow me to do that? I read the repeater bridge wiki and there was nothing in that?

What is your 'main router'? Also with what its sounding like here is that you would want a dual radio device to do this, generally if you wanted to have legacy devices, you would have to run in mixed mode, and the repeater would be in mixed mode as well. With like say a netgear wndr3300 you could have the N-only bridge on wl0 and run the wl1 radio in Mixed mode with no probs here. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ
wow that's a fast response. my primary is an Asus RT N16 and well as you know it's a single band. I think for the time being then I'll just keep both running mixed mode and just remind people to connect to the repeater if there running G lol. thanks for the input.

Yes you can have the AP in N only mode and the Repeater in Mixed mode or the other way around. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

At any time. They just need to have at least one spec in common to establish a link. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.
