OK I did that (reset my router to a unique address--namely 192.168.5.9)
and as said when I'm NOT online--after I've lost my connection via
client bridge--I can log into this address just fine and there's my
router as I re-configured it after the hard reset.
But while I'm ONline I can't communicate with it. Should I assume
there's another router/device nearby with that same address? Wondered
about this from the start--but also wondered if that were the case why I
don't at least get a log in screen and request for name and
password--but all I get is the network timeout screen with : The server
at 192.168.5.9 is taking too long to respond. (Over and over again).
Am also thinking (have to do this from memory since I can NOT
communicate with my router's config screen now) that I too am running
V24 sp2 firmware.
You sorry you responded to this thread, Ben?
Thanx heaps,

D'oh! The first thing you need to do, if your [secondary] router is
NOT getting it's IP address via a DHCP lease from the primary, is set
it to a non-colliding address! It should have the same netmask,
unless you've already got some routing plan in mind to over-ride the
default bridging (leave the rest alone).... but the two routers should
definately not have the same IP on the same subnet -- no two devices
ever should, shall I say "under normal circumstances".

PS - did I get thread-jacked too? (...or aid & abet this jacked
thread?) I just reply to the most recent thread that interests me; I
might've missed some of the other dd-wrt thread(s), sorry if so.

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?
