I have a Buffalo WHR-300 HP2. I'm also a bit of dd-wrt noob, so I apologize for stupid questions
I was able to flash the firmware to the latest version via the web app.
DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/23/14)
(SVN revision 24461)
I'm assuming this is the correct build, but I could be wrong.
I am trying to setup the repeater bridge, but can't seem to get it to work. I do the following things to configure it.
1. Set the local ip to 192.168.1.1
2. Goto Wireless Tab
3. Set Mode To Repeater Bridge
4. Network Mode to Mixed (matching my wireless network)
5. SSID to match wireless network
6. Channel to match wireless network
7. Goto Wireless Security
8. Set WEP key to wireless network key
After applying changes, I can't seem to connect the router to the wireless network. Looking through the forum, I've seen a number of posts on setting up the repeater bridge, but none specific to my router. I've tried a lot of different things with no luck.
I thought I'd come straight to the source, and see what experience you guys have had with this.
I read a few different posts about it not having a tftp server. So you actually need to run one on you pc, and have the router connect to it as you boot.
