Guys

This is my first foray into the world of DD-WRT.... on a WR841 V11.

I need to extend a lan via wifi to some wired clients - no wifi is needed at the remote end.

DD-WRT installed and all ok - but I cannot reach the internet when using it as a client bridge.

I can login to the "Host" router, so the client bridge is working but for the life of me, I cannot get out to the internet.

DNS is ok at the far end - as it resolves using the host router to provide DNS.

Devices on both sides of the DD_WRT can see each other...

Default gateway is set to be the host router on each PC...

What have I missed?

Thanks in advance

But you are able to access the internet on the host router ? What IPs are you using on the host and on the client ?

I can see why you use the same IPs for both as I have seen tutorials here instructing that. Myself I have always used 192.168.1.1 for the AP and 1.2 for the client. I assign different SSIDs names as well. That's what I would suggest first. Match both security modes (WPA2/AES) and use N/G mixed.

Hi everyone.

I have a Belkin F7D4302, with a factory firmware, like an AP on my network. In a client bridge mode I have a TL-WR841N with a dd-wrt firmware. I can reach the internet with this configuration.

Is it possible to put a WR841N (Atheros) as a client bridge of a Belkin (Broadcom) ?

Belkin: 192.168.2.1 (IP), 255.255.255.0 (Subnet)
WR841N: 192.168.2.3 (IP), 255.255.255.0 (Subnet), 192.168.2.1 (Gateway). 208.67.222.222 (Local DNS)

I have tried 192.168.2.1 as a local DNS but I had no sucess.

Any ideas ? Thanks for any help !

Hi,
I've spent lot of hours trying to make client bridge (routed) mode to work without luck. Client mode instead works at first try solid as a rock working both wired and wirelessly. You have to set a different subnet on each router. If it is not an issue for you i suggest you to try it.
Best regards
