Hi Guys,
I've created a wireless bridge on DIR615 (DD-WRT v24-SP2) to be used with a Netgear DG834GV (Main).
Configuration:
Netgear - 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2 - 10 has been reserved.
DIR615 - 192.168.0.11
At this moment, I am able to surf wirelessly with me connected to the DIR615 which I had named it repeater.
Initially when I set it up, LAN was working on the DIR615. Without changing any configurations whatsoever, the LAN stopped working.
I noticed that it couldn't even get the router to automatically assign an IP to the laptop that I am working on. The moment I set it to automatically assign IP (which worked previously) it would not get an IP address. If I force it with an IP address say 192.168.0.x with 192.168.0.1 as the gateway, I am able to connect to the network BUT unable to surf the internet yet able to see random machines online.
I am not too sure where to troubleshoot or gone wrong.
Can someone please point me in the right direction or advise what I might have overlooked?
Thank you.

After following the repeater bridge wiki, I am unable to get an IP address. I believe this is because it's looking up the Netgear for an address and I have reserved and IP for the PC to be 192.168.0.4.
But I could be wrong.
And DIR615 ALONE, doesn't give me any IP address even when the DHCP is turned on. LAN connection keeps looking for an IP address which is really weird. If I lock in a static address and then connect it to the router, then it might work.
Have I blown the router or what am I doing wrong?
Can someone please point me in the right direction please?
No connection at all. The 615 E3 can connect to the primary router but the client that connects to it can not get an IP address. I have tried the latest build and the build recommended by the WiKi.
