Hi,

Short story: having some blind spots at home, bought a Linksys E1200 router to use as a repeater. Somehow I found DD-WRT, and succesfully flashed my router.

Folowing some site's instructions I somehow managed to make it work: I connected the second router by wire to the first router (made the mistake of connecting WLAN door, and lost my printer; changed door, and it came back), and ended up with two different SSID, a house fully covered and a great smile on how smart I was. Not that smart, unfortunately

Now I have to change the second router's password, and I can't get in... I remember setting a fixed IP, but now it simply do not work, either connected or by wireless.

I don't want to reset it. What can I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Get fing for an android phone. Connect to the second router. Scan for its IP.

Repeater will be on a different subnet than the primary router, if you configured it properly. You will have to be connected to that subnet to access the Repeater.

Repeater bridge will be on the same subnet.

Hi Murrkf,

Thanks for your time.

I downloaded Fing, and connected it to secondary router, but all I get is the list of connected devices (all reckonizable), and primary router's IP.

Shows also Network (192.168.0.0/24), gateway (192.168.0.1 - primary router's IP) and DNS.

I'm almost sure secondary router's IP was set to 192.168.0.2, but it is unreacheable. Anyway, it is below 192.168.0.10, since DHCP starts here.

Thanks again,
