Hello all,
im at my wits end here, I have setup repeater bridge so many times with Linksys and Belkin routers.
To make a long story short
After I flashed my R7000 to Brainslayer's most recent version (02/27/15), only the bridged version of my router works, but not the repeater...it keeps saying that my wireless devices cannot connect.
I have done 30-30-30 resets up the wazoo and used this guide below for setting up the repeater bridge:
Is there a special setting that needs to be enabled for the wireless repeater function to work?
again, just to reiterate, when i plug devices via Cat5 to the switch ports of the R7000, they connect fine but when I try to connect via wireless, it always fails (and never worked)
I tried Kongs latest firmware with the same result, so im beginning to think that its a setting that im missing...

FWIW, 90 second hard resets dont work on arm-based routers like they did on any other platform. So reset by pressing the reset button, erasing nvram in the gui or (on some routers) holding the wps button on bootup.
I assume you looked at the broadcom section of the repeater bridge wiki? First, clear nvram on both units, dont use any backup configs, and configure both again.
If that still doesnt work, try a different build that is known to be solid (a recent version would be 26138, though airtime fairness is not enabled by default).
Assumptions:
1. Everyone on the forum has read the relevant forum section announcements.
2. For Broadcom section we have ALL at least tried to understand the "Peacock" thread,HERE
