So I wanted to setup a router downstairs to increase my wireless range, as well as connect some items that do not have wifi access.
My primary router is dlink dgl-4300.
My secondary router is linksys wrt54gl v1.1 with dd-wrt v24-sp2(07/22/09)mini.
So I believe with what my goal is, I should be trying a wireless bridge.
So I follow these instructions found here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge#Instructions
everything seems to take, except I can not connect to the internet. When I go to status-->wireless
nothing shows up under wireless nodes. If I click site survey, select the ssid of the primary router and click join, i get "successfully joined the following network as primary client: primaryrouter's_ssid". i click continue,then save, then apply.
Unplug the power from the secondary for 10 seconds then plug it back in.
The computer shows that it's connected to "Network 5", but can not connect to the internet. I opened up a browser and tried google.com and no dice.
Checked on the primary router and the secondary router does not show up under wireless clients.
I've tripled checked to make sure the wireless security settings are exactly the same with the primary router and secondary router.
So my question is what am I doing wrong?! For some reason the secondary router can not connect or maintain a connection with the primary router wirelessly. Frustarted! =/
