1. Download a recommended build for your router. (Don’t use the router database page or else you will get a very old (broken) build.) Latest version at the time of writing is:\u00a0ftp:\/\/ftp.dd-wrt.com\/others\/eko\/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2\/2011\/04-09-11-r16785\/tplink_tl-wr1043nd\/<\/a><\/p>\n 2. Do a HARD reset on your router.<\/p>\n 3. Connect a cable from your computer to the LAN port on your router.<\/p>\n 4. Set your computer to a static IP address of 192.168.1.3<\/p>\n 5. Set your browser to 192.168.1.1 and open the dd-wrt Web GUI.<\/p>\n 6. You should be asked to change your password and username. Carefully type these in. If you aren’t asked for a password and username, do a hard reset, this time doing it properly! Hit change password.<\/p>\n 7. Go FIRST to “Wireless” => “Wireless Security” and enter the security type and key that matches your primary router. (You must use WEP or WPA2-AES to have DD-WRT work reliably. (mine works on WPA-TKIP?)<\/p>\n 8. Hit SAVE, (or APPLY if you wish to)<\/p>\n 9. Go to the “Wireless” => “Basic Settings” page and set the following settings: 10. Your wireless network mode should be set to the same as the primary router.<\/p>\n 11. Set the wireless channel to match your primary router channel<\/p>\n 12. If you are using N only or Mixed with N, set your wireless channel width to match your primary<\/p>\n 13. Set the wireless network name to exactly the same as your primary router. Make sure spelling and capitalization match.<\/p>\n 14. Hit SAVE at the bottom. Then hit APPLY.<\/p>\n 15. Check to make sure all the configurations, including the mode, saved and the mode is still client bridge. If any changed, fix them, and SAVE again.<\/p>\n 16. Goto “Setup” => Basic Setup” and set your “Router Name” = “Bridge”. Enter a router Local IP address of 192.168.0.2. (Presuming your primary router is on the 192.168.0.x subnet. Client bridge must match the subnet of the primary router) Leave subnet mask at 255.255.255.0.<\/p>\n 17. Set the Gateway IP to your primary router. (192.168.0.1)<\/p>\n 18. Leave Local DNS blank<\/p>\n 19. Check Assign WAN port to a switch, (if you wish to).<\/p>\n 20. Change your Time Zone and DST to match where you are.<\/p>\n 21. Hit APPLY.<\/p>\n 22. Set your browser to 192.168.0.2 and login to your router<\/p>\n 23. Goto Security, Firewall. Under Block Wan Requests, uncheck everything but “Filter Multicast” (Leave Filter multicast checked).<\/p>\n 24. Hit SAVE<\/p>\n 25. Disable SPI Firewall<\/p>\n 26. Hit APPLY.<\/p>\n 27. Go to “Setup” => “Advanced Routing” and change the operating mode from “Gateway” to “Router”. Hit APPLY.<\/p>\n 28. Set your browser to 192.168.0.2 and login to your router<\/p>\n 29. Go to the “Wireless” => “Basic Settings” page and add a Virtual Interface with the following settings then Hit APPLY. 30. Telnet to 192.168.0.2, Username = “root”, Password = “password” and execute the following command: “echo 1 > \/proc\/sys\/net\/ipv4\/conf\/br0\/proxy_arp”<\/p>\n 31. Set your computer back to auto IP and auto DNS.<\/p>\n Credits<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Linking Routers: Client Bridged ——————————- Assumptions: ———— a.)
