After you’ve configured your private wireless network setup, click Add under Virtual Interfaces to add the wl0.1 SSID.
Would doing this and ALSO connecting their LAN ports pysically be a better solution?Īny suggestions would be great - Thanks! w2. First, create your wireless networks by clicking clicking on Wireless and then Basic Settings. I've used DD-WRT to set up a wireless bridge before in a different situation. It appears under router 2's Status, but not under Router 1. Wireless security - AOSS/WPS support Backward compatible with 802.11g/b/a devices Configure as an Access Point or Wireless Bridge Many DD-WRT capabilities. How do I get both routers to work together in sync work as range extenders? The way it's set up now, I think I'm just connecting to one at once and that the other may be on a seperate channel as I still see that there is another hidden SSID present (even though it has the same name.) I did just join one of the AbcDEV networks from my laptop. Type the IP address of the client router in Firefox or Explorer (The default IP of the client router is 192.168.1.1 but we changed it to 192.168.1.2 to prevent conflicts with the default address of the HOST router. DHCP is forwarded on router 2 to router 1 too. To confirm that your are hooked up to the wireless network. The second one is 192.168.0.250 and it's WAN port is disabled. The first router is 192.168.0.1 and it's WAN port goes to a DSL modem. Both of these 2 routers are on the same physical network as well. The passwords for everything are on WPA2 personal and all configured the same too. I have both of them set for the same (AbcDEV) (pic2). The second router has a 2.4 and 5.0 radio. throw a dd-wrt firmware on the device ( I used DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/12/10) mini build 14929. It's set up for a hidden SSID with the name of AbcDEV (pic1). I've got two identical Linksys routers - both with DD-WRT v24-sp2 on them.
