How do i get this working? i've tried numerious times and i cant seem to get the dd-wrt to work with the airport.

Please no apple bashing if you dont have anything to say about my problem... like a solution. Dont reply.

anyway, anybody know how to fix this? i was reading its best to use wds but thats a of trouble and i dont wanna run wds
 
anybody
 
are you currently running any encryption? and what mode are you going for (bridge, repeater, client)?

I'm currently running tomato 1.23 on my WRT-54GL, and with some tweeking I have it attached to a Dlink RTR as a client for everything sitting in my entertainment center.
 
yes wpa2 and its dd-wrt v24. i want a wireless bridge to be setup.

I'm trying to think, it's late.... I know with newer RTRs they support 2 modes: AP and AP+WDS. If you want a true bridge to bridge where they only talk to each other you might end up having to get another RTR running dd-wrt or tomato.

I'm not that familiar with dd-wrt, but you might want to try running it as a wireless client using WPA2, see if there is an option to change it from a gateway to Router. you might have to setup a static route on each end so that way each router knows where to send the traffic from the Airport to the dd-wrt, and vice-versa.

on the other hand, WDS might support up to wpa now.
