Hi all
I’m having issues trying to connect two routers wirelessly, I’ve followed this guide but am unable to get it working:
https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater
I have the following routers:
Asus RT-N66U with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (02/04/15) mega - build 26138M
Asus RT-N16 with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/10/13) big - build 21530
My main router IP (RT-N66U) is set to 192.168.66.1
I set the secondary router (RT-N16) to 192.168.68.1, I tried adding the primary router as the gateway but it didn’t work either way.
I entered my wireless configuration correctly and ensured the passphrase matched for both the repeated WiFi and virtual WiFi interface. I also disabled the SPI firewall on the secondary router as per the instructions, no matter what I have tried so far the second router never gets a WAN IP address.
Can anyone offer any help or guidance please as I’ve never done this before? Thanks in advance! |

| I assume you reset both first, before manual setup. I'd suggest a newer builds, given these are a gateway router (facing the internet) and repeater (vulnerable to krack).
The latter is fixed since 33772 in Broadcom, unfortunately builds since then have had wireless and/or features' issues. Try 35531 first (newer are bad), or 34311; I've used both as GW, CB, and AP. N16 upgrade to k3x process is here. It's annoying, we know.
Same for the N66U, but first search the new build threads, for both routers actually. I recall the N66U wasn't working for some range of recent builds. _________________ # NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD # Repeater issues # DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo #
