Im sure you have already but did you try operating it without puting it in the middle. (ie a normal client/ap situation - what was the outcome?) A few other items to check -

* try running each on its own channel, 1,6, or 11 vs. both on the same.
* have you checked signal strength? you may want to consider alternative firmware (like sveasoft) to boost the antenna output.
* WDS is used normally here when trying to boost a signal through the same channel. the linksys firmware doesnt do this (not yet i dont beleive). i think they try to get around it by selling "boosting stations".

Marco,

 I am tring to connect from Duck to Donald wirelessly.  In other word,
Donald is an AP Server and Duck is an AP Client.  I have this setup using
a WAP54g(Router_2) to a D-Link 713P(AP_1).  That work fine.  The Router_2
is hardwired to a WRT54G(Route_3) that is pointing down to the house.  At
the house I have another WRT54G(Route_5) pointing to Router_3(Donald).

 The problem is that Route_5(Duck) will not come out of AP Server mode.
I have verified this with my Laptop by connectly to Router_3.

 AP_1 <-Wireless-> Route_2 <-Hardwire-> Router_3 <-Wireless-> Router_5

 This one is not working --------------------------^^^^^^^^

 I have Route_5 configured as 'Router' in Setup-->Advanced Routing-->
Operating Mode.  I have tried SSID the same and 'any'.  I have upgraded
the firmware to '2.04.4'.  I'm am missing something but I don't know what
it is.
 The bottom line question is 'How to put a WRT54G into AP CLient mode'.

 Thanks for your time.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question but...

take one, call it "donald"
take other, call it "duck"

stop donald dhcp server
start donald wifi
set desired wifi parameter on donald
connect no wan to donald
connect no lan to donald

connect donald to duck via tp cable

stop wifi on duck
connect wan to duck
set wan parameter on duck
start dhcp server on duck
connect other lan trunks to duck

wifi workstation connected via donald
lan worksstation connected via duck

This answer the question?

Hello list,

This is a technical question about the linksys wrt45g. I have two of them
and am trying to connect one to the other as gateway and router. I think
I have them setup correctly but the 'router' will not come out of gateway
mode. I go to setup --> advanced routing and select router in 'operating
mode' box. I have the SSID the same for both. What else do I need to do?
Frimware is the same for both, v2.02.7.


Any help??
