Repeater mode problems with RC6+ builds.

[redhawk0]

Repeater and Repeater Bridged modes don't work correctly with RC6+ builds. (including the 8965 build in the Eko directory.

I can configure and connect radio to radio but not Wireless NIC to Virtual SSID. I can reconnect to the repeater if I wirelessly connect to the Host AP then navigate to the repeater's assigned IP address, but that is the only way to connect to the repeater wirelessly. The Virtual SSID is being broadcast...it just times out when trying to connect.

The English Broadcom forum has been talking about this Since the RC6 build was release...the solution is to use an Eko 8727-8795 build of the firmware with the old wireless driver compiled into the build.

I can confirm this for RC7-8965 Lan clients work fine, but nobody can connect to my virtual ssid (wpa2 personal mixed encrypted)

The new feature anchorfree , when ativated creates a Virtual SSid , but the problems is the same as repeater bridge .. ( the mac is still strange ) No conections

Replying to STALonge:

the second ssid for anchorfree is only a option and is currently only tested without repeater. (except for atheros builds, with atheros i tested yesterday anchorfree in repeater mode)

Repeater and Repeater Bridge works now

Nice job BrainSlayer?. I will resolve this for now and we can confirm or deny when the next build arrives.

We are still having problems unfortunately,

See http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=27350

Is there something we are not doing correctly to get Repeater Bridge mode to work? I am following this Wiki article.

I have repeater bridge working fine with 2 wrt350n. The main ap is on rc5 vpn and the repeater bridge is the build under the 8984 directory. Wired clients on the repeater bridge can ping any client connected to the main ap and also connect to the internet. Wireless clients connecting to the virtual ssid on the repeater bridge can ping any client connected to the main ap and also connect to the internet.

unfortunately it still does not work for me with built 8995, clients cant connect

Fixed since 8995 release. Great Job BrainSlayer?
