Hi 

 

Please be gentle!

 

I have plusnet fibre and the router is OK, dont really want to mess with it.

 

I have a second router which I have flashed with DD-WRT and want to try and extend the wireless range in a seemless sort of fashion, if possible.

 

Please dont take any of the above that I actually know what I am doing!

 

Also just let me know if its twaddle!

Just follow the how to on the DD-WRT website it really is simple. I am guessing you have a TG582 from Plusnet?

I flashed a netgear gateway the other day and extended the carp signal from a VM superhub.

Thanks for the info, simple for you perhaps! I cant log back in the router, I shall reset and try again

After a reset of DD-WRT, the login gets reset to: user "root", password "admin".

Thanks for your help, I did it slightly different and wired it up as an AP instead, might be the same as you said but I liked the idea of it better.

No worries mate, I did my way so we had clear upstairs / downstairs access. You can also connect the DDwrt gateway via Ethernet as well so works with WIFI.

 

Glad you got it working.

Can't beat good old cabling.....but thats only if you have a choice...... Making it into a wireless repeater could of been another option.

I agree about the cabling and I have done that instead of homeplugs, I wanted to expand the wireless range so I can listen to Tune In radio in my garage! Sad eh!!

No. Just feeding your needs.....

Did you manage to complete above?

Yes thanks used a Dlink router and put DD WRT on it and put the setting in and after a bit of trial and error it all works fine.

 

Thanks for asking!

DD-WRT is good if supported by your gateway.

Just done this my self.

Main router>1st powerline plug>2nd powerline plug>second router

Turned off the DHCP server on second router and gave it a static IP and identical wifi settings of the first router apart from the channel
