Hello,

I have done a repeater from a Dlink DIR-825 with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/18/14) std and it works great.
But now i want to do the same for repeating an hidden network (empty eSSID) to my own visible network (xith eSSID).
so i need to enter the mac adress (bSSID) instead of the network name (eSSID) true?
How can i do this in the field ssid?
Can i enter directly the mac adress like xx:xx:xx:xx:xx in the ssid field?

Thanks for your help,
it's appear to be a basic question but i'm searching for 2 hours and didn't find the answer, maybe because my english is bad...

just enter the ssid anyway

Thanks for the quick answer

but when i enter the bSSID like xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx it connect, it create my network, i can access to the DD-WRT configuration page but no internet.
I have same problem with a visible network if i enter directly the bSSID. (And it works if i enter the eSSID)

Is it because i'm in bridge mode? (no other option with my router...)

& by ssid i meant essid, the same way any other client would connect to a hidden ssid network a laptop etc, still have to specify the network name. u said essid works, so there where is the issue?

Well,
it doesn't works with a bSSID
hidden network or not.

(And it works with the eSSID on the same network unhidden)

Maybe because i'm in bridge mode?

OK i know why i didnt understood you

I thought a hidden network has not name (empty eSSID), but i was wrong sorry.

So i just asked for the eSSID (who was hidden) and now it's OK

But i have a question remaining, when you have 2 networks with same name/eSSID (case of repeater), how can you force the client to connect to a specific network? Not possible to connect directly to a bSSID?

Thanks for your help!

Hidden is not the same as empty.
