TomatoUSB

Hi all,

I have been trying to setup a TomatoUSB by Shibby router as a repeater for the past few hours with now luck. This is my setup:

Main Router: Linksys E3200 running Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-116 K26 USB AIO
IP address: 192.168.0.1
IP Range: 192.168.0.2-50
DHCP: enabled

Wireless 2.4 GHz
Name: MyWifi
Mode: Access Point + WDS
Channel Width: 20 MHz
Channel: 9
Security: WEP/WPA/Disabled (tried them all)
WDS: Link to… (inserted Repeater's MAC address)

Repeater: Linksys E2500 runninng K26 version
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
DHCP: Disabled

Wireless 2.4GHz
Everything same as above, and WDS Link to Main Router's MAC

Sorry I am not allowed to post links.
Again it doesn't seem the Repeater is communicating with the Main Router. Appreciate your help very much!

Be sure to program devices with a static IP that is outside the range of the DHCP server. In your configs above you can have a duplicate of 192.168.0.2 purdy easily.

change the ip on repeater to 192.168.0.200 (outside of your dhcp range).
devices connected to repeater will get an ip address from main router dhcp
don't know why but sometimes you need to power cycle both routers to establish the wds link, sometimes works just fine the first time at least for me.
