Hello all,
this is my first post here and, at the same time, it's my first attempt with dd-wrt. So be patient!
I would like to set up my (old) Linksys E4200 v1 as a repeater bridge.
I have followed the instructions to flash dd-wrt firmware as reported here http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php?title=Linksys_E4200 Everything is gone fine.
Then I moved to this wiki http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge I have encountered no difficulties.
There is only a "small" problem: I get a very bad signal on wireless network.
I attach images that I think they can be helpful.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards.

A wireless device is able to connect to the repeater but the signal is very bad and the connection is dodgy.

I chose Mixed (default option) as Wireless Network Mode. For wl0 I have these options: BG-mixed, B-only, G-only, NG-mixed, N-only. For wl1 I have these options: BG-mixed, B-only, G-only, NG-mixed, N-only (2.4 GHz), A-only, NA-mixed, N-only (5 GHz).

My primary router/modem wifi setting. As you can see the channels of the primary router and the repeater are different from each other.

You set both wl0 and wl1 as a repeater bridge Why?
If you have dual WAN then use one to bridge (set client bridge) with your primary router and the other for clients to connect.
Furthermore your primary router 5 GHz is set to AC, your E4200 does not support AC.
