i tested bridged and normal station mode. both works. check your config. i'm using it in a test environment for video streaming since many weeks
Thanks for your help so far! I am not able to connect. But speed test of wifi shows 170Mbps. I am hoping to use the 11ac speeds which is on wl0. The router and bridge is only 5 feet apart with no walls between them.

No prob, here are the requested screen. Thanks for your time/consideration!
I think I see the problem : your backbone router (the one with the internet connection) is also configured as a Client Bridge. The 2 devices can't connect this way. Try changing the Network Mode on the backbone router to AP. Client Bridges and Repeater Bridges need to find an AP to talk to.
try changing your wireless channel, and your extension channel from lower lower to upper ect...

I tried lower lower, lower upper, upper lower, and upper upper with channel as auto (it seem when I change the extension, it changes channel to auto) and get the same rates (approx 150Mbps / 20MB/s).

I posted screenshots from both the AP and the client bridge, I think you are looking at the screenshot for the AP? The AP is set as AP (the one connected to the cable modem) and the second router is set as client bridge.

could it be that there are frequency collisions. i mean i have almost the same setup with a connection rate of 1300 mbit _________________ one cigarette costs 2 minutes of your life.

OK - Had to go back and check the time stamps on your photos and in photo #1 at 14:36:01 the wl0 interface was configured as Client Bridge and in photo #3 at 14:43:48 you changed it to AP (assuming you did a Save and/or Apply Settings).
My 2 devices are 15 feet apart and separated by a plaster wall (with metal mesh lathe on both sides) and a bookcase and the idle speed is about 866Mbps using channel 149 lower lower. The wl0 transmitters are set to 100 milliwatts. The 2 devices are oriented such that the Repeater which is standing in the upright position on a desk, forms about a 90 degree angle with the left side of the Router which is mounted to a cabinet and 7 feet off the floor.
Doing a backup of the cfe also includes the nvram and the nvram_cfe. It appears that the nvram_cfe gets copied to the nvram during boot-up.
Excerpt from the dmesg log :
bootloader size: 524288
nvram size: 65536
Creating 3 MTD partitions on "sflash":
0x00000000-0x00080000 : "cfe"
0x00050000-0x00060000 : "nvram"
0x00070000-0x00080000 : "nvram_cfe"
Found a Samsung NAND flash with 2048B pages or 128KB blocks; total size 128MB
Update: 6-17-2012
After repositioning a Scotch tape dispenser and sliding the Repeater Bridge a further 1.5 inches to the right while maintaining a 90 degree relationship with the Router as described earlier in this post, the tx/rx connection speeds have increased to 1300Mbps. Have marked the "sweet spot" on the desktop in pencil! Hope this level of performance holds up long term.
Note: It's probably not well understood by many people that if some wireless devices are placed too close together, the transmitter in one device can overwhelm the receiver in the other device thus causing poor performance.

nvram_cfe gets only copied to nvram if nvram is empty. so only if you erase nvram or on first boot. so the nvram_cfe is untouched at all. except by the bootloader. but there is also some benefit in it. nvram_cfe can be used to create own factory default settings. _________________ one cigarette costs 2 minutes of your life.

Thanks. I noticed after the first boot of build 19364.
Anyone seeing issues with the router randomly rebooting? I installed dd-wrt.v24-19363_buffalo_ac.bin today and it just seems to stop working every 20 minutes or so, I take a look at the router and the light turns red, a minute or so later, it is working again. My entire network goes down when this is happening and is getting pretty annoying. I am not sure if previous builds for this router had the same issue as I wasn't trying to run it as my main router, but now I am trying.
