Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get my DD-WRT flashed D-Link DIR-600 B2 linked to my tl-wr841nd in repeater bridge mode, but i'm having no success.

My TP-Link router sits behind my modem and the current settings look like this:

I've gone through the setup instructions on this page: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge

The only difference being, that i set the ip address of the D-Link as 192.168.1.3 and the default gateway as 192.168.1.2 (my cable modem is set up as 192.168.1.1)

The TP-Link (primary wifi) is set up as a DHCP server, with DHCP disabled on my modem.

I just can't get it to work. Often, when I change the Bridge's IP to 192.168.1.3 I am unable to connect back to it. Other times, I can connect, but It does not connect to the primary wifi (TP-Link)

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thx for any help
 
OK, i figured it out. I just omitted the virtual interfaces section of the guide and all works fine now
