Hello,

I am quite new with dd-wrt. I have a WA801ND V1 and flashed it successfully. Everything works fine except one thing.

I want to use it as a vpn gateway to e.g. hidemyass vpn. I set it up as PPTP and as soon as I set it up the device become inaccessible. DHCP service works, I can still get an ip but no ping and no access anymore. Then I had to reset the device.

As I said I am new at this. I tried all the options on the WAN setup and whatever I choose the device becomes inaccessible.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I'm seeing something similar to this too. I'm using a WA801ND v1.1 with the recommended dd-wrt version.

The WA801ND is set up by default as a simple bridging AP, which performs only the function of bridging its single Ethernet port to the WLAN interface. I'm trying to use dd-wrt to turn it into a home Internet gateway, where the single Ethernet port acts as a WAN port connecting to a cable modem, and the WLAN interface serves the private subnet.

Like the previous poster, I'm seeing that any setting other than "Disabled" for the WAN interface setup causes the admin interface to become inaccessible. I have to use the reset button to revert to the default configuration in order to get back in via either the wired or wireless interfaces.

I notice that in the Networking configuration, there is a bridge br0 configured by default with the interfaces eth1 and ath0 assigned to it. I assume that this is something that has to be changed in some way, because I don't want the wired and wireless interfaces bridged - I basically want to turn the LAN port into a WAN port. I've played with things a little bit, but I'm not there yet. So far, everything I've tried results in losing access to the admin interface.

There is also an eth0 interface in the list, and a couple of others that don't correspond to any external connection on the box. I don't know whether any of those are relevant.

I'm going to keep messing with it, but if anyone out there has been down this road and found the recipe, I'd love to hear about it. If I discover it, I'll post what I did.

Thanks, you gave me a hint. I tried and reached somewhere.

Unbridge ath0 and give it another ip address. This way the wireless will be your LAN port and you will be accessing to your device even if you set up a PPTP or one of others. I tried this and worked fine. But still I cannot make it connect to a remote vpn but this is another story.

I got it working with TL-WA801ND as a VPN Client.

1. Unbridge ath0 and give it another ip address. (e.g. router ip is 192.168.1.1 and ath0 ip is 192.168.0.1)
2. Disable SPI firewall

Now you can setup a WAN connection according to your need.

I tried it with free vpn service SecurityKiss L2TP and it worked great.

That's it!

Is there any update on the TL-WA801ND V3? I've seen some ways to add the OpenWRT but I'm quite fond of the DDWRT (1st time used was about 12 yrs ago!).

Anyone know how to make it work? I've read about using the firmware for 841nd v10 but there is no confirmation.

Hi,

I have used the hex program to modify the latest FW for the 901v3 (06-01-17 r32170) to go onto the 801nd v2. Originally by Kryptex

I have not tested this at all yet but I include it here

I've installed on my TL-WA801ND V2 this:

Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r28072 std (11/02/15)

Can someone post last upgrade?

Hello there! I've just installed the cfw on my repeater and I need to solve the following:

I face problems when I am on my smartphone speaking through bluetooth. The sound is fine for around 4-5 minutes and then it becomes distorted, thus I can't hear what the person I am talking to is saying. I've searched on the gui, but didn't find the Bluetooth Coexistence Mode. Is this option removed from the latest firmware update?

I would also appreciate if v5 were to be supported.
Maybe i can help out with that? Provide a device or do some jtag welding?

OpenWRT guys managed to support it so i guess its just a matter of time until someone here does it as well.
