Repeater worked for me on E900. Here is the proof.
So far I got it worked with Wireless G only, WPA2 AES.
Trying if N works.
Its how long it will continue to work is the question, and seeing that your uptime is 2 minutes isn't really any proof, nor you showing your wireless setting is any proof that repeater is stable and working.
I have setup k2.6 in repeater mode before as well, works fine for the first hour or so, then slows to crawl, imho i wouldn't call something that does that as working.
However, when I tried to setup up OpenVPN, or even a simpler PPTP VPN server, I could not connect. Any comments are welcome on this too.
But most importantly, I stepped away from the router after enabling both WebGUI and Telnet management for remote access. I know the ports. I checked with the ISP and they don't block any incoming traffic. And still, I cannot connect with the router on the WAN/public IP.
Are there any known issues with the big build #19342? I thought I made the smarter move when I sticked to something supposedly proven, but maybe the build is wrong?
But of course, I might have forgot/overlooked something obvious, sorry I could not Google up something more useful myself. Thanks!

Actually this is something that you should post a new thread for, because your problem has nothing to do with the E900 in particular, your problem seems to have more to do with the openVPN system within dd-wrt in general.
Most i can say i know of this is that 18777 is the last build that had a working openVPN system, which you'll be out of luck because you cannot use the 18777 build due to E900 not being supported until 18946. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ

Thanks! So, no hope for OpenVPN yet -- but is PPTP supposed to work?
Also, to be clear: I cannot remotely manage the router either, but now I am checking (asked someone with local access, in the sneakernet) whether I forgot to check "allow any remote IP" for remote access. I can ping the box, but both Telnet and WebGUI are completely silent.
Any other problem I might be missing? (ADSL modem was another one, checked.) E900-specific or not...

An update: remote management works fine now, the setting was not persistent before, after a hard reboot it is.
But I still cannot get even PPTP VPN working, at least from my mac (though I am aware of the encryption issue there). And thoughts on whether or how that should work?
Two updates: I could freeze the router both with a soft reboot and with a "date" command, necessitating a hard reboot. This is a big problem remotely.
Please let me know if you could 'endorse' a more recent build for the E900. I tried to be the grownup and stay away from recent "betas", but I seem to be stuck with old bugs now…
Forget my issue. Other people had issues with OpenVPN in the older build anyway — and I could get PPTP working on a newer build, DD-WRT v24-sp2 (01/24/13) mini.
The network is surprisingly slow, but maybe this is what I can expect from a home router on a residential ISP a continent away.
Thanks for bearing with me.
FYI, the router can still freeze after pressing "Apply Settings" on various pages.
Hello all!
I used the tutorial and managed to inslall dd-wrt.v24-19342_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k.
I also experienced that feeling when the router wont respond to pings. Then I read the entire thread, powered off, wait a few seconds, powered on and he came alive.
Now I have two questions:
1. How can i turn off wlan leds? linksys firmware had the option to turn off wlan leds.
Reading this topic I found about: Reset Gpio= 10, WPS Gpio =9, WPS LED =8. So i've added the command "gpio enable 8" to startup, i've also added a "sleep 30" but the leds ar still on.
2.What script sould i use for 6 to 4 ipv6 ?
I ask because with the native ipv6 my usenet downloads are slow, with linsys firmware i had like 4MB/s and with dd-wrt i barely get 800KB/s
I have looked at 6to4 on k2.6 builds but when i try to find my wan interface "using ip -4 addr show" on telnet nothing happens:
BusyBox v1.19.4 (2012-06-08 03:44:52 CEST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
Sorry for asking again.
Does anybody know what gpui number will turn off the wan and lan leds?
If not, it is safe to test gpui numers till 50 or I might brick my router?
So far its working. I will update in couple of days.
I believe this is due to ttraf being enabled and also client isolation being enabled in advanced wireless settings..... Make sure those are off, I use repeater bridge all the time.... I will be updating with a new roll.

Hi there. I'm using build 19342 big on a cisco e900 router. My provider is Chinatelecom.
the router cant get wan ip in pppoe mode.wan ip is always 0.0.0.0.
i click the connect ,and it shows Connection Type --- disabled
I know the modem works because I can connect to the internet with the another cisco E3000 router(factory firmware).
I have tried 30/30/30 reset, connecting/turning on router/modem in various orders,change the router ip 192.168.1.1-->192.168.3.1/vlans port reassign W(none)1234(lan)/ None of these have worked.
When the modem and router are connect the activity light on both the router and modem are constantly blinking. Any ideas?
