This all reminds me of another quirk in my setup--namely that I can NOT
communicate with my own router (to check configuration) when the client
bridge connection is working. When I lose my internet connection, THEN
I can log onto my router and get the dd-wrt config panels.
Which means of course that I can't just "switch" to repeater bridge mode
from client bridge. (Only way I can get to repeater bridge mode is to
set it up from scratch, after a 30-30-30--and then it does not work).
Have tried connecting to the default dd-wrt address of 192.168.1.1 while
online--but I get my neighbor's (primary) router--which kinda feels like
a major invasion of privacy and which I log off of instantly. Hell I
can even log into his printer--but I can't log into my own router when
I'm online.
Weird, huh?

Cool beans. I used the latest stable DD-WRT firmware, v24-sp2 dated
10/22/08, is what I'm using on the secondary. I don't think the
primary has to change any settings to get the secondary to go from
client bridge to repeater bridge, but I think it might just have to
give up the connection for a while (I power cycled my primary right
away and got it on). So you might try repeater bridge before you
power cycle, if you have some time to hang around. I don't know if it
is an issue of the DHCP lease expiring from the primary (which is my
only dhcp server on this lan, and which extends to the bridged
network). Make sure you're not just running out of leases (you might
have connectivity but not get allocated a dhcp lease).
Best of luck,
