I have the same issue as the person above. The net is getting disconnected when a Virtual Interface is added.

Is this a bug?

IIRC you will need to use the same security settings (password etc) in your virtual interface. So there's no point having a VI, you might as well roam.

I have a problem, I have had to reset my router around 5 times now from different attempts. As soon as I change the IP of router number 2, I cannot access the webgui anymore. My connection status changes to limited connectivity, also at this point I have changed my router ip to 192.168.0.2 because my router 1 ip is 192.168.0.1. My computer has been set to obtain IP automatically but I have also made attempts to put a static ip with the following info
IP:192.168.0.3
Domain: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
dns primary: 192.168.0.1

when I try to do an Ip renewal in cmd, it states that it is unable to contact my DHCP server.

Any suggestions?

nevermind that issue, I just got through the whole setup without issues. Now I am getting no internet connection though. When i go to status, it says that I am connected to the router, but when i go to my router number 1 site, it doesnt have the mac listed in the connected devices tab, so it doesnt make sense to me.

I think so. I used DIR-600 as repeater for couple of months, but after installing r15962 I am not able to get it working. Even on previous builds. I wonder, what could went wrong. I even reflashed the router with original dlink fw and then started over with dd-wrt, but still, i can get it working oly as client, not as repeater.

I just finished setting up repeater bridge with your guide and I didn't need to add a virtual interface to connect to router B over wifi. There's no doubt I'm connected to the bridge since I can see my laptop mac address listed as a client connected to ddwrt.

Anyway, cheers. Thank you very much. Everything is much snappier now.

It is a bug on builds from Apr 2010 already and I am back on the March 2010 builds.

I am using a DLINK DIR-615 d4 and there doesnt seem to be any build before April 2010. Does anyone know any different?

You're welcome. The quote's original context must have been related to some other question as I've never needed a VI either!

Hi all,
First of all thank you blitter and all the comunity that make this work.
Second I'm very frustated; I'm tryng to achieve this from more then a week and it was solved from the begining.
The no need of Virtual Interface for dir-615 (please any dd-wrt guru or more experienced user, confirm that) was the confirmation I needed to be able to go on with my next problem.
The configuration that blitter described worked from first day for me, the only problem is that dd-wrt close all his own ports (1723, 80) as well as Nat-wich is normal for RB, but I need and want to use the built in VPN as well as remote management. Is this normal for RB mode?

My Network:
Dir-635 b3, runing original 2.34 as an AP with Printer, HD, Scaner atached to its usb
Dir-615 d3, runing dd-wrt v24 sp2 std 15778 with wired PC, and other wireles devices.

Update:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=88198
Finaly managed to add the VI, unfortunately still no VPN. Any Ideea is welcome!

Is there anyone who tried repeater bridge with a build later than 15778? I would appreciate any feedback since I can't get repeater bridge working after 15778.

I tried with build 14144, Repeater and Repeater Bridge without virtual interface, and they worked just fine. Tested on DIR600-B1 & DIR300-B1.

Thanks! I also have repeater bridge currently working fine with 15778. Did you try with any newer build than this? I can not make it work with the latest builds.

No i haven't.But seems that problem with Virtual Interfaces remains in the same state and some other stuffs that should be working by now.I have flashed 3 Asus Wl-520G and 1 USR-5461 ( both Broadcom based ) and they worked quite well. I guess that the ralink and atheros routers are as second option.Basically DD-WRT is made for broadcom ( correct me if i'm wrong ).

Jorge Silva
