AP Isolation is "disabled" and Network Configuration is "Bridged". Click on "Add" under "Virtual Interfaces", and enter an SSID (such as "repeater").Click on "Save Settings" ("Virtual Interfaces" section does not appear until you save the changes).Under "Wireless Physical Interface", set "Wireless Network Name (SSID)" to the network you wish to repeat.
Go to tab "Wireless", sub-tab "Basic Settings":
#DD WRT V24 SP2 WIRELESS REPEATER INSTALL#
Install latest DD-WRT v24 release candidate (but not RC6.2! v23 doesn't support repeater modes). It takes me just a couple minutes to follow these instructions (but I've done this before).ġ.
#DD WRT V24 SP2 WIRELESS REPEATER HOW TO#
Know how to use and access Web Interface.As far as repeater is concerned, its gateway is "jojo" and jojo probably has another gateway via cable modem or DSL.
As far as your laptop is concerned you are talking to repeater. From your laptop, you associate with the SSID "repeater" and you receive the address 172.16.101.100 via DHCP. The repeater is configured to use 172.16.100.0/24. Let's say jojo is using 192.168.1.0/24, and your DDWRT router receives the address 192.168.1.139. The repeater automatically receives an IP address from jojo. In a given neighborhood, there are 3 open access wireless networks, jojo, linksys and internetmad. Therefore you (the client) will operate in your own IP address space, which is different from address space the repeater connects to. Effectively the SSID network it connects to becomes your ISP. Unlike WDS, once you have this appliance setup, it will work with any open network.Īrchitecturally the repeater connects to another wireless router as a client, getting a single IP address via DHCP. This functionality is also known as Wireless Client Bridge, or Range Extender. This How-To provides step-by-step instructions for creating a Universal Wireless Repeater appliance: a device that you can place anywhere and it will wirelessly repeat the strongest signal, onto another wireless network (with or without security). That is NOT what these instructions are for! If you are in the wrong place, click here: Linking Routers See the wiki on linking routers if you wish to connect two routers in your home. These are OUT OF DATE instructions for creating a special UNIVERSAL repeater as explained below, not for linking the routers you own. THESE ARE NOT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING A REPEATER OR A REPEATER BRIDGE which is the normal way to link routers. A repeater is just a very normal client which, at the same time, can also be an access point, independent of the SSID and type of encryption used.
