DD-WRT路由器无线中继桥设置

无线中继桥，就是鼎鼎大名的无线中继功能了。在家庭中如果用一个路由器，总有一些房间信号不好，如果家里此时有旧的路由器，就可以把它做成一个中继路由器，放在信号不太好的地方周围，把信号中继过去，就可以很好的做到全家都能畅快的上网了。

之前文章《 NetGear wgr614 v9/ v8 刷写固件详细说明 》中，我把家里的一个旧路由刷成了dd-wrt系统。今天就来说说如何用这个旧路由做无线中继的。

在网上搜到许多的设置方案，如“DD-WRT设置万能中继"等等的文章，但是经过试验，发现没有一个能行的，最后还是翻墙在DD-WRT的官网上找到了对我来说真正可用的方案，原页面在此：

下面是关键的步骤：

1. Restore Factory Defaults on Secondary (DD-WRT) Router
2. Do a proper HARD 30-30-30 Reset on the router.
3. Set your computer to a static IP of 192.168.1.9 if you know how to set static addresses. Otherwise leave your computer's network adapter(s) programmed with the factory default setting of DHCP and the router will assign a valid address to your computer.
4. Connect your computer to the secondary router via wired LAN port or as a wireless client. The dd-wrt default wireless SSID is "dd-wrt"
5. Open the address http://192.168.1.1 in your web browser. Newer versions of DD-WRT will require you to set a password before you can continue.
6. Open the Wireless -> Basic Settings tab
   • Physical Interface Section
     • Wireless Mode : Repeater Bridge
     • Wireless Network Mode : Must Match Primary Router
     • Wireless Network Name(SSID) : Must Match Primary Router exactly including exact case -- Make sure you spell this correctly
     • Wireless Channel : Must Match Primary Router (This will disappear once you put it in RB mode, and isn't needed)
     • Wireless SSID Broadcast : Enable
     • Network Configuration : Bridged
     • Save
   • Virtual Interfaces Section
     • Add
     • Wireless Network Name(SSID) : Different from Primary Router
       • [NOTE] - You CAN try using the same SSID but it usually will not work properly. Many have had random disconnects and/or no connection if the SSID's are the same.
     • Wireless SSID Broadcast : Enable
     • AP Isolation : Disable
     • Network Configuration : Bridged
     • Save
7. Open the Wireless -> Wireless Security tab
   • Physical Interface Section
     • Security Mode : Must Match Primary Router and DD-wrt only works reliably with WEP or WPA2-AES
     • WPA Algorithms : Must Match Primary Router
     • WPA Shared Key : Must Match Primary Router
     • Key Renewal Interval (in seconds) : Leave default
   • Virtual Interfaces Section (note: if you don't see this section your firmware should be atleast v24-sp2)
     • Security Mode : Must Match Physical Interface
     • WPA Algorithms : Must Match Physical Interface
     • WPA Shared Key : Must Match Physical Interface
     • Key Renewal Interval (in seconds) : Leave default
     • Save
8. Open the Setup -> Basic Setup tab
   • Connection Type will be: Disabled
   • Set STP for Disabled (Enabled sometimes can cause connection problems) redhawk
   • IP Address : 192.168.1.2 (Assuming Primary Router IP is 192.168.1.1)
   • Mask : 255.255.255.0
   • Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (again assuming Primary Router IP is 192.168.1.1)
   • DHCP Server: Disable
   • Local DNS: 192.168.1.1 (if IP of Primary Router is 192.168.1.1)
   • Assign WAN Port to Switch : Optionally enable this to use the WAN port as another LAN port.
   • Save
9. Log back into the router at its new IP address of http://192.168.1.2
   • Open Setup -> Advanced Routing tab
   • Set Operating mode to "Router"
   • Save
10. Open Services
    • Disable Dnsmasq
    • Save
11. Open the Security -> Firewall tab
    • Uncheck all boxes...except Filter Multicast
    • Disable SPI firewall
    • APPLY Settings
12. Reboot the router.
13. Once you have it working, go to the wireless security tab, and set the same type of security AND key for both the primary and the repeater ssids and hit apply. Avoid WPA2 Personal MIXED, as it will likely kill communication between the routers (see Security section below for more on this). WPA2 Personal is fine.
14. SET YOUR COMPUTER BACK TO AUTO IP AND AUTO DNS.

目前还没有试过。之后尝试成功后会进一步更新。
