Setting up DD-WRT as a repeater.

LazerPhreak · 06-19-2010, 12:43 PM

OK, So here is my dillema. I have 2 routers. I will call them Router1 and Router2. Simple Enough. Both are wireless. Router1 is connected to the internet and has WEP 64 security (haha security....right....). Router2 is a WRT54GS with DD-WRT loaded on it. This is the setup I would like. How could I do this?

Code:

                              INTERNET
                                  |
                               ROUTER1 (WEP 64)
                          ________|________
                      ___|___              |
                     |       |          ROUTER2
                    PC       PC         ___|___     
                                       |       |
                                       PC      PC

Yes, I have seen that. However, that does not account for ANY sort of security. It only allows for open networks. Is it impossible to use wep with it?

Encryption type and key must be the same on both the primary and secondary router.
