OK .. Plz have a look at the following links :

http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/10592/Using-NETGEAR-WGR614L-with-DD-WRT-A...
http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/10594/Using-NETGEAR-WGR614L-with-DD-WRT-A...

They contain a detailed description of how to configure a client bridge and a repeater bridge with DD-WRT on Netgear WGR614L
Let me know if you still need any information...

The only difference between client and repeater mode is that in repater mode you configure some virtual APs on the secondary router , to which the wireless clients get connected .

As far as getting an IP thru DHCP is concerned it uses the same mechanism for both client and repeater mode . If you are getting an IP for client mode then u shud get for repeater mode also .

It seems you are missing some parmeter setting. If u still face a problem then tell me exactly at which step ( from the steps mentioned in the tutorial) u  r getting problems ....

soooo if i use the wireless mode : repeater i can change settings to do with " dhcp-server, dhcp-forwarder" if i usw repeater bridge i cant.....
i tested both things but i am not able to get an ip from the first router....

please help.



so in client-bridge mode all is working fine but i cant create a V-Wlan. :/

Yes in client bridge you can't create a V-wlan ... this is the difference between client mode and repeater mode ....
Now its strange that u are getting an IP for client mode but not for repeater mode ...
Basically a repeater mode is also client mode where we can bridge both wired or wireless clients with the primary router ...
Are u getting problems in getting IP for secondary router or in getting IP for your wireless clients ...

here is my config
primary router t-com 1054 dsl... ip : 192.168.12.1 adress-range : 192.168.12.50-100
secondary router wgr614v8 ... ip: 192.168.12.2 dhcp: disabled

this should be ok ?

yes it shud be ....

July 15, 2009 6:14 AM

hmm well
should i use repeater or repeater bridge mode? what is the difference?
the most important thing is that it opens a new Vwlan to connect to..

greets

July 15, 2009 7:32 AM

I have not tested the repeater mode ... I have tested client bridge and repeater bridge modes ... As far as these two modes are concerned the client bridge is used to bridge wired clients only whereas repeater bridge mode is used to bridge both wired and wireless clients and that z y u get a vlan interface for repeater bridge mode ...
I would suggest you to have a look at the following links :

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge

These links contain a detailed description of client bridge and repeater bridge mode ....
Keep us posted abt ur proceedings in this regard ...

hmm well what i want is repeater bridge i configured it like in the article but it is still not working :(
i will ask a network pro .
cya
greets and thanks
