I setup 2 Ar670W in WDS mode and only Lan connections works. Any wifi connection is able to connect to both routers, but cannot see lan network, router or Internet.

Both router are configured in router mode because Internet access is hadled another router.

I went to WDS because it seems that repeater bridge or cleint bridge are not suppported right now!

I read and tried so many things trying to make it work. I know how to setup WDS and I am not the only one having problem setting anything different than Ap with this router. Finally it seems that dd-wrt advantages are not usable with this router...

Why not try repeating bridge. It is working fine for me on 13637 as described in the wiki instructions and with the physical and virtual interfaces set to the same SSID.

Is your Site survey working to join a network? I followed all instruction for repeating bridge and never been able to make it work

I tried playing around a bit. I don't seem to see anything in a site survey when in Repeater Bridge mode. In client mode, I did see sites including my router in the site survey. When I joined, the SSID got filled in on the Basic Settings page, but it had extra spaces at the end.

The things I have found essential are:

1. Make sure the SSID really does match and has no extra spaces (click on the right hand side of SSID text box to see where the cursor ends up.)

2. Match the wireless channel

3. Make sure a virtual wireless interface (ra1) is setup. Using the same SSID as ra0 seems to work fine.
