jgiam.com: Setting up a repeater bridge with DD-WRT and D-Link DIR-600

i flashed a new firmware.dd wrt for the dlink dir 600 b1.
i can access the config page using the ip address.
i tried setting up the repeater a bunch of times but failed.(can access the repeater signal.but cannot connect to the internet. )
once i tried setting up as repeater bridge,the laptop showd internet connectivity.but couldnt access any webpages.

am i missing some thing?im using bsnl broadband?

my base router 192.168.1.1
my repeater 192.168.2.1

when connected to repeater and pinged my base router i got destination net unreachable.

did you also set dhcp range in repeater/dlink as 192.168.2.1-192.168.2.x?also check that dhcp is enabled in tp-link & is something like 192.168.1.x

something like this right??

 

[whitestar_999]

run ipconfig /all when connected to repeater & post result here.if your network is setup correctly you should be able to access settings page of both modem(192.168.1.1) & repeater(192.168.2.1).

192.168.2.1 is my repeater.
whats the diff between repeater and repeater bridge?

i also took the site survey in my repeater ,it showed my main router.i clicked join and nothing happened.

make sure you are using same wifi settings(channel,encryption,password etc) on repeater & modem & try turning off WDS in tp-link & dlink.also read this before doing anything:
Repeating Mode Comparisons - DD-WRT Wiki

Yes,
I double checked both password,encryption type c are all same
I think repeater bridge can be use in my case.
I just want to boost my signal .

I think when using as a repeater bridge u will get only one network to connect to.
I tried that before it showed internet connectivity but the pages didn't LD.

always check by pinging sites & if you get the ip address of the site but request timed out error then it means dns server is working alright & there is some other issue but if you are not even getting ip address of the site being pinged then it is dns issue.

i did got an dns error trying to do a windows network trouble shooting.
if it is a dns problem whats the next step?
il try a repeater bridge setup again.

 

[whitestar_999]

try changing dns server settings in repeater.also as i understand there should be no dns settings enabled in repeater at all since it is merely repeating the signal from modem which already has the dns server setting.

K il keep that in mind
Thanx
