Hi
I have as main router a TL-WR1043ND Firmware: DD-WRT r39290 std and due to issues of location of the equipment, I cannot cover everything I want with Wifi.
I had kept an old WRT54G v6 which I thought I could put as a repeater or client to be able to expand the coverage area. I installed one of the latest firmwares: DD-WRT r43652. The equipment works, but the problem arises.
According to the tutorials to configure it in the client, you should go to the Status tab -> Wireless-> Site Survey and there make Join to the Wi-Fi network of the TL-WR1043ND. It does not appear ... other networks appear, mine does not. I have both router 1 meter distance. What is happening?
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I never use site survey (I actually left it out of my build) When I want to see what wireless channels are in use around the house I use Wifi Analyzer on my Android phone.
Regulatory domain issue with wireless channels ?
Maybe your wireless advanced settings on wrt54g are not allowing channel 11,12,13. And your tp-link is currently on one of theses channels.
Just guessing. Never have such issue with any wrt54g/l
