I have been trying to set up my router as a repeater using DDWRT. I have followed multiple guides, but for whatever reason the SSID is not broadcasting and I am unable to use it as such.

Can someone point out to me what I mixed up so that it will succesfully work as a repeater?

These are steps I followed:

Setup > Basic setup:
Connection Type : Automatic Configuration DHCP
STP: Disable
Router Name : Repeater
Router IP:
Local IP Address: 192.168.1.120
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Local DNS: 192.168.1.254
Network Address Server Settings
DHCP Type= DHCP Server
Start ip address: 192.168.1.200
Maximum DHCP Users: 44

Setup>Advanced Routing:
Operating mode: Rip2 Router

Wireless > Basic settings
Regulatory Domain:
Wireless Mode: Client Bridge
Wireless Network Name: Net
Virtual Interfaces:
Wireless Network Name(SSID): Net2
Wireless Mode: AP

WPA Shared Key: pippo
Virtual Interfaces (ath1)

  • Why have you configured it as a DHCP server?!

  • I followed a tutorial I found here dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=39507 --- Should I disable the DHCP server?

  • Did you read the thread, "These instructions are incorrect and out of date.".

  • Yes, I saw that, but have been unable to find a complete working tutorial on the setup.

  • Also, unless your existing AP is using WPA/TKIP (which I sure hope it isn't), those settings can't possibly be right either.
