Hi everybody I need some help setting up my linksys with dd-wrt v23sp2 anyone available to help? what's up? Basically I need to connect the linksys to an access point which is working in client mode hmmm...I think there are some howtos out there about that. I don't have any experience with it myself. yeah I have been searching the net but I could't find anything does anybody in the channel has any suggestion? I know I saw something about it, I think it was linked from the DD-WRT wiki what. you simply need to use your router as client device? <-- hal3 has quit (Client Quit) ok, so it should be straightforward... but in the internet menu should I choose disable? under basic setup. you need to enable dhcp or any static setting since the this will be ip assigned to your wireless client interface in client mode ok the AP in client mode has the dhcp server disabled so I have to assign an IP in the same range as the AP no the dhcp serve can be enabled i mean the internet connection setup I see consider too to use a different subnet range on your client network otherwise you will create a network collision right because what I have is the following a wireless ADSL router which sends the signal to another building where I have an AP in client mode (WPA encryption) so if your ADSL router has the ip 192.168.1.1 on local network side, the ip of the local network on your client (lan) should be something like 192.168.2.1 the idea is to link the AP to the Linksys and then create a new wireless network ok I understand the wan setup (internet connection setup) should be configured to dhcp or a static ip in 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 range the wireless basic setting needs just to be configured to Client and the wireless security section should reflect your wpa setup but I guess this is a new wireless network right with a completely different SSID and passkey --> Werr (n=el@c-76-17-42-144.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has joined ##dd-wrt my problem has been in connecting the linksys to the AP no in client mode you must set the ssid of your ap network since you want to join it ah... and the key must be identical too I thought I could create a new wireless network otherwise the authentication with your ap will fail no. in client mode you will not create a new network. you will join your network I understand its like a wireless network adapter in your laptop but wait the linksys is connecting the AP through the ethernet as if it was a PC when I connect a PC to the AP I have direct access to the internet ??? so your linksys is connected to your ap by cable? so I thought: ok, now I just connect the linksys instead and then create a new wireless network (different SSID and WPA key) exactly! i thought you want to connect to it wirelessly no! then you dont need client mode. you simply want to create a new wireless network. simply a accesspoint yes! which is the default setting of any linksys unit, using dd-wrt too in this case just consider the lan network settings right do you want to connect your linksys unit as bridge? now, this is where I struggle! I get quite confused answer the question what are the options? Bridge and...? bridge and routed/nated it could be routed I guess then you must configure your lan network to a different range bridge involves a new network range or not? so if your adsl router has 192.168.1.1, your linksys must be 192.168.2.1 yes no bridge, will act in the same network range I see in bridge mode you must simply disable dhcp, lan network should be anything else the adsl router ip setting and the cable must be plugged into the switch instead of the wan port ah! I understand now I will try and if I have a problem I will get back to the channel thank you very much for your help
