Go to Security -> Firewall and disable SPI firewall (workaround for issues).Change your timezone and DST to match where you are.Uncheck "Use DNSMasq for DNS", "DHCP-Authoritative", "Forced DNS Redirection".Set the Gateway IP to your primary router's IP address.Enter a router Local IP address in the same subnet range as your primary router, outside the dhcp pool (e.g.Go to Setup -> Basic Setup and change WAN Connection Type to Disabled.Set a username and password, if not asked for this, do a proper reset.Set your browser to 192.168.1.1 and open the dd-wrt webUI.Set your computer to a static IP address of 192.168.1.9.Connect a cable from your computer to the LAN port on your router.See Where do I download firmware?, new build threads.Download a recommended build: The Router Database does NOT have recommended builds.Most primary routers will be at 192.168.1.1, so use something else not in the DHCP range. What this means is, if the primary router has an IP of .X, you need to set the CB router to an IP of .Z. You don't need to worry about the primary router as long as you set your CB to the SAME subnet. The router you are configuring is the Client Bridge (CB) router. The router that you are trying to connect to is the primary router. If CB will not work on your hardware, try Client Mode instead. The driver will usually crash in these modes.Ĭlient Bridge with dd-wrt SP1 won't work. While it can sometimes work without encryption, there is no guarantee nor official support. This makes it impossible to implement fake bridge modes, and is not fixable. AC5300 routers) cannot support CB (nor repeater bridge) modes since the driver is controlled by wireless firmware internal to the chipset. For example, the 2.4GHz radio can a CB while the 5GHz is an AP, or vice versa. The other radio(s) would normally be set as AP. If using a multi-band router, do not set more than one band to CB.All devices connections, besides the primary router, MUST be wired to the CB router. CB is a wireless connection ( NOT wired) between two routers only. See Linking Routers for a description of each of the modes.Ĭlient Bridge (CB) extends a wired LAN using a wireless connection, as opposed to an Access Point that extends the Wireless LAN (WLAN) using a wired connection. It will cause connection problems for more than a single client. It is by design a hack and not a true transparent bridge like WDS. Client Bridge will never be as stable as any of those modes. Only use this or Repeater Bridge mode if all of the others are unsuitable: WDS, Client, Repeater, or AP.
