Oct 19, 2011 · AP (Access Point) – The standard wireless mode for most routers in DD-WRT. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) – Automates network-parameter assignment to network devices. Simply, it is a process that allows a router to automatically assign connected devices local IP address
To have computers connected to both routers (main and secondary) and co-exist in the same subnet, set up DD-WRT as a Client Bridge, Repeater Bridge or use WDS. Further explanation of bridging modes is at Linking Routers. If using a multi-band router, do not set more than one band to CB. The other radio(s) would normally be set as AP. For Access Point (AP) instructions. A secondary router on the same subnet, so all wireless and wired network devices can access each other. Simple Version (Same Subnet) On the secondary access point router: Do a hard reset Disable DHCP and set the wireless channel different from the other router(s) Oct 19, 2011 · AP (Access Point) – The standard wireless mode for most routers in DD-WRT. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) – Automates network-parameter assignment to network devices. Simply, it is a process that allows a router to automatically assign connected devices local IP address WDS Client Mode Client Bridge Repeater Repeater Bridge Two routers (1 Client Mode, 1 AP Mode) Requires admin control over all routers, and the routers must have compatible WDS implementations • Does not require control over host access point/routers; can connect to a host you don't control • • • • • Supports multiple wired client NO WDS support for connecting current DD-WRT MadWIFI <-> DD-WRT MadWIFI-N <-> DD-WRT ath9k Under Basic Setup ---> Network Setup ----> Local IP Address , use an IP in the same subnet as the WDS AP router but outside the WDS AP router's DHCP range. Step 10: (Optional) - To extend the wireless network of the WDS AP, or daisy chain WDS Station to WDS Station • Under Virtual Interfaces, Click Add • Change the Wireless Mode of the Virtual Interface to WDS AP Type in the SSID for the Virtual Interface exactly (same capitalization) as it is on the WDS AP (main router) • • Click Save DD-WRT has been impressing users since its inception in 2005, and is the go-to alternative router firmware due to its longevity of existence and support of the largest array of devices. Consequently, DD-WRT can claim the largest community of users. It's the backbone of what we do here at FlashRouters.
Version 24 of DD‐WRT firmware has a wireless mode that is used for mesh networking called Wireless Distributed System (WDS). WDS AP can connect to multiple other nodes and forward packets between them. WDS station is an end node of the mesh network.

Take note of the MAC address. You will need to enter this information in the Remote AP list of the Primary Router. 3. Set the same frequency as in the Primary Router(here is 5GHz), and select the AP Mode as Hybrid or WDS mode.Hybrid mode used to both wired and wireless clients while WDS mode used to wireless clients only. 4. It seems almost impossible to find an AP that does PoE passthrough, and DLink’s own DAP-3320 that replaced this does not do it. Left long enough the speed on the unit will degrade quite considerably, with a reboot needed to fix it. Anyway, it appears DD-WRT is compatible with this AP, according to this. However there is no mention, and it May 10, 2020 · DD-WRT is an open-source router firmware upgrade project created to enhance the performance and features of consumer wireless routers. It is used by many networking-savvy users to enhance wireless router stability, privacy, and (most importantly) network security.

The 862L will reboot every few hours (setup to reboot if it loses connection from the main router, checks every 5 min). If I disable the 5GHz interface on the 862L, it becomes very stable.
