The instructions for setting up a DD-WRT router in client bridge mode say:
There are errors in this video especially as related to security settings and the use of the 'join' button. It should not be used in substitution of the better instructions above.
But it doesn't explain why "join" is bad, and I'm not understanding what the use case of the "join" button under site survey is if not for one of the client modes. The docs for client mode don't use "join" either. Rather, both versions tell you to do something like:
- Set the DD-WRT router up in AP mode
- Make sure all of the settings are the same as the router you want it to be a bridge for
- Change it to "client mode," after which all of the settings you changed in (2) disappear
And I don't follow. What good is the "join" button, if not to automate these steps?
