I and upgrade dd-wrt custom firmware on this wifi router. But i try to change it to client mode, it's not function at all. I did try reset and re-upgrade the firmware but it's still same.
Any ideal how to set for this model? Did search through the forum but seem like not support V7.
Some people already used the recent version 17???. Some other people reported different behavior (LED not working alongside client mode not working) of the hardware than v7.1/v7.0. Therefore, there is enough reason to think that the hardware is configured in at least a slightly different way than supposed to be. That's why people keep asking for update. Seemingly, at least a certain aspect that enables the client mode in the Atheros chip in the recent hardware versions of wr841nd has been altered. I'm not a hardware expert at all, and therefore I'm also waiting for an update....... like.... a half year.
Exactly the same problem here. WR841ND V7.2
Everithing works fine except client and client bridge (routed) mode. Build 17201.
Installed OpenWRT on this AP and worked perfectly (ecxcept only for a little jitter) on client mode. I recommend it for everyone with WR841ND V7.2 trying to use it on the client repeater mode.
With the same configuration the WR841ND can't connect to the AP. It's listed in the connected clients (on the 7270), but without an IP address..
So I don't think I've done something wrong in the configuration, because it workes with the WR1043nd, but perhaps I miss something..
ok, sorry for that.. I thought that the connection to the access point is similar for client and client bridge. There seems to be a problem that the WR841ND is not able to connect to the AP. I only realized that the WR1043ND is able to connect with the same settings like the 841ND...
Client mode works perfectly for me (I've got a v7.2).
However client Bridge does not at all (it seems to be connected to the AP - just like in client mode - but seems unable to route the traffic, provide dhcp, etc. to connected clients).
As I really need these clients on the same subnet as my main router's AP (for media server) this is a huge issue for me.
Could anyone give some details on how to get client bridge working with OpenWRT? (Or a fix for DD-WRT would be best of course! )
