That is quite a post on the wiki. There is a lot of information, but also a lot of optional (marked as such) steps as well. I had never read through it until now, but I've setup several DD-WRT APs and never come across your issue.
I'd suggest resetting your router. Leave it disconnected from everything but your computer for now. Setup WiFi. Set your SSID and PW, and select a channel if you want, but leave the advanced settings alone. Save your changes. Change LAN IP to 10.0.0.2 and save. Disconnect and reconnect your computer (to obtain new IP address) and login to the router at the new IP. Disable WAN and save. Disable DHCP and save, then go to the admin page and reboot. Connect it to your other router LAN<->LAN. Connect via WiFi and test. It should work now. If there are other settings you want to change or use from the wiki, try one at a time. This way, If the problem comes back, you will know what caused it.
I generally change 1 setting at a time and save, rather than completing a whole page. I've come across issues when trying to change multiple settings at a time.
If this doesnt work, I'm not sure what it could be. As I said, I've never come across this issue, and its how I setup quite a few now.
I have followed your steps exactly, however, as soon as I connect my PC via WiFi and try to access the Web Interface of DD-WRT on http://10.0.0.2 it again redirects me to http://0.0.0.0
So the advanced settings of the Wiki entry do not seem to be the cause of this issue at all.
Furthermore I noticed the following:
If my PC was connected to the LAN via cable during the last reboot of DD-WRT, I am able to access the Web Interface without any troubles.
If I try to access the Web Interface from a completely different PC which is connected to the LAN via WiFi, I get redirected to http://0.0.0.0 on that PC
When I try now on the first PC, which is still connected to the LAN via cable, it also gets redirected to http://0.0.0.0

something is wrong, you mac addresses are the same for WAN LAN and WLAN.
This seems to be normal. Right now when I tried mwbuss8 suggestion, I noticed that the LAN and WAN interface had a different MAC address, the LAN and Wireless LAN adapter had the same MAC address by default. As soon as you switch off the WAN adapter in the settings, the WAN adapter gets the same MAC address in the info page. _________________ TP-Link TL-WR1043ND
So pretty much the same, except for the IPv4 and IPv6 address of the client.
I doubt it has anything to do with the clients or the network setup. It's simply: as soon as there is an attempted connection to the web interface via HTTP to the Access Point, the DD-WRT software always sends the aforementioned response header from then on, to any client.
May be the web server crashes when a connection attempt is made via the WiFi adapter and thus from then on it sends this response header. The rest of the system keeps functioning normally (i.e. the functionality of the Access Point is otherwise fine). _________________ TP-Link TL-WR1043ND

When connected to the 1043 via WiFi, what does your computer show for IP address, gateway, and DNS?
Primary router resolves when you are in "router" mode _________________ [Ramips] Nexx WT3020F Openwrt @kernel #4.14.167 (OpenVPN server, Wireguard server, AD blocking, SQM QOS, USB)
I have the same problem with the newest firmware: v3.0-r27805 std (09/11/15). Hardware is TP-Link WR842ND.
I can access the WebUI if I'm wired but not if I'm wireless.
I actually bought 5 of these and set them all up the same way, and they all have the same problem. If I am connected wirelessly to Router1, I can access the WebUI's of all the other routers, but not Router1. If I then connect to Router2, I can access all the WebUI's except Router2. If I connect with a cable to any router, I can access all WebUIs.
The same symptoms happen with Ping. I cannot ping a router's LAN IP if I am connected wireless to it, but I can ping all the other routers.
Hello. Have you managed to resolve this problem? I'm having the same issue with the latest build as well on a Netgear WDR3700v1 (Atheros) and the latest build DD-WRT v3.0-r29193 std.
My primary router is on 192.168.1.1
The secondary one has DHCP disabled, Gateway & DNS set to the primary router's address.
Everything works fine including accessing devices physically and wirelessly connected to the primary router and vice-versa. The only problem is accessing the management GUI of router 2 on 192.168.1.2 when connected via WIFI. LAN connectivity is fine.
Edit: here is the error I get in Chrome
"Google Chrome's connection attempt to 192.168.1.2 was rejected"
Sorry for reviving such an old thread. I've got a tl-wr1043nd v4 with exactly the same problem on latest 48741 firm. Did you manage to solve it on dd-wrt or, maybe, with openwrt?
Check your wireless settings to see if wifi webUI access is disabled. It shouldn't matter if it is configured as a WAP or not anymore.
The symptoms are the same as of the other people who reported back 6 years ago, I can access ping/webui/etc the AP connected to that same AP over wifi but cannot access the rest of the lan; in contrast with a pc connected over wire to this AP I can access the lan and vice versa to that pc over other devices on the lan (same AP or to the main router, makes no difference).
