Hi, I have a WRT54G v2.0 router with build 14929 mini installed.

When I foliow, http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Multiple_WLANs to set up a guest access point, the Virtual Interface does not show up on any of my computer's routers. My settings are:


Physical Interface wl0 - SSID [dd-wrt] HWAddr [....]
Wireless Mode AP
Wireless Network Mode Mixed
Wireless Network Name (SSID) dd-wrt
Wireless Channel 6 - 2.437 GHz
Wireless SSID Broadcast Enable
Sensitivity Range (ACK Timing) 2000
Network Configuration Bridged

Virtual Interfaces

Virtual Interfaces wl0.1 SSID [dd-wrt_vap] HWAddr[....]
Wireless Network Name (SSID) dd-wrt_vap
Wireless SSID Broadcast Enable
AP Isolation Disable
Network Configuration Bridged


I followed the guide exactly and all I do after doing a 30/30/30 reset is Add the Virtual Interface and it refuses to show up, only dd-wrt will show up but not dd-wrt_vap. It will not connect even if I manually attempt to connect.

P.S. MAC addresses are left off on purpose.

It will not connect even if I manually enter it.

Yes, I did a 30/30/30 before doing this. And I even reattempt it after doing another 30/30/30.

At the very real risk of being accused of thread necro-bumping, I thought I'd provide a solution to anyone else trying to get multi-SSID wifi going on one of these old girls.

I too was having trouble getting the wl0.1 radio to transmit. After trying tomato and various newer (ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/04-25-2016-r29519/broadcom/) and older (ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2010/08-12-10-r14929/broadcom/dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt54gs.bin) dd-wrt builds, the build that finally got VAP's working is "DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/22/09) micro (SVN revision 12548M VINT Eko)", download from here: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24_TNG/svn12548/

I'm not saying that's the best or only build, but it's doing the job here.

[EDIT: Fantastic - I've got VLAN tagging working too (via pfSense, through a netgear GS108Tv2 switch, and am using the WRT54GS simply as an AP). Gotta love the power of dd-wrt & pfSense - a match made in heaven]
