Hey guys i'm kinda new to DD-WRT and i've been trying for a couple of hours now to set up the Repeater Bridge correctly but it doesn't seem to work how i want it to.
My setup:
Main Router: Speedport W723V Type B
Repeater: D-Link DIR 615 D3
Firmwares:
1st Router: Stock;
DIR-615: DD-WRT v3.0-r30356 std
So my problem is i set everything up correctly and the Repeater Bridge is working ok - HOWEVER as soon as i try to add the Virtual Interface to the Repeater it seems to cancel the connection to my main router and it does not even give out any IP adresses when attempting to connect.
Under Wireless --> Basic Settings
I've entered the correct mode and SSID and on "Wireless Security" i've entered the correct Security Mode as well as everything else.
Under Wireless Security i've entered the EXACT same things like above. Yet the Repeater seems to drop the signal and everything stops to work.
As soon as i remove the Virtual Interface the Repeater seems to connect again and everything is alright.
But unfortunately i cannot leave it like that because the devices in the upper floor try to connect to Repeater downstairs which obviously results in bad internet speed. Instead they should ofc connect to the SpeedPort but sometimes they just chose not to. That's why the Repeater needs its own SSID so i can manually chose the connection.
Does anybody have an idea why this happens?
I found my problem to be somehow similar to this thread:
Thanks for help guys - sry i'm a big noob with all that stuff.
Thanks
Edit:
Some more information:

DHCP is enabled for the main router, didn't touch the repeater's DHCP settings
