A very simple step-by-step instruction to connect a Router running DD-WRT V24 firmware in Client Bridge Mode.
Confirmed working on V24-Final V24-SP1 V24 Pre-SP2
To enable Bridge-Mode between two Routers, the Primary router has to be in AP mode. The Secondary router running DD-WRT as Client Bridged
- Do a hard reset (30/30/30) on Client (DD-WRT) Router
- Connect to the secondary router via wired LAN port
- Open the Wireless -> Basic Settings tab
- Wireless Mode : Client Bridge
- Wireless Network Mode : Match Primary Router
- Wireless Network Name(SSID) : Match Primary Router
- Wireless Channel : Match Primary Router
- Wireless SSID Broadcast : Enable
- Network Configuration : Bridged
- Save Settings
- Open the Wireless-> Wireless Security tab
- Set your Encryption to either WEP or WPA-Personal
- Note - Don't use WPA2 for Client Bridge mode
- If WPA is chosen - use only TKIP or AES...not TKIP+AES
- Note - the Primary router can be running WPA TKIP+AES
- Note - 07/15/08 - TKIP + AES is now working on the Client Bridge.- redhawk
- Enter your encryption key to match the Primary router
- Save Settings
- Open the Setup -> Basic Setup tab
- Connection Type will be: Disabled

- Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (again assuming Primary Router IP is 192.168.1.1)
- Assign WAN Port to Switch : Checked or Unchecked - your choice
