Yes, you can use it with WEP or WPA.
See what baba2s posted about BBBexodus post.
@ez2kill
Do all again and follow the step by step guide.
Remember that you have to wait that the Router Restarts and after that, go to the Web UI again: http://192.168.200.1
Try it again and let me know how it went.
I'm in the midst of a very big projects, but will :
1. release v1.2.1 w/ the telnet toggle & a minor fix for mDNSresponder.conf & ftp (pretty soon, just need to package it)
2. put together what you all have done regarding Wireless Bridge Mode on a HowTo page (with proper credit ), test run it, and then link it to the HowTo section (this may take a week or so as I'm under the gun w/ other stuff... :/ )
6) Go to the Router Advanced Settings and Activate the Public LAN but WITHOUT the DHCP and make sure that the Modem IP is "192.168.200.1" and the Subnet Mask "255.255.255.0". Click Apply. (The Router will restart).
7) After that, go again to Advanced Settings and deactivate the Private LAN and its DHCP.
8) Turn the Router OFF then Turn it ON again.
9) Enjoy!
P.S.
* If you will use the same Brand of Router, change the Modem IP of the one that will be serving the Wireless Connection to "192.168.1.1" instead of "192.168.200.1". If you don't it will conflict with the second one.
Any questions, just let me know...
Trying this but no success - After Step 6, cant connect back to the Router webpage to do step 7. I also fixed the script for WPA PSK/TKIP [use 'nas' cmd instead of 'wl' cmd.]

Can someone provide some insight ???
Is the same deal I had. I waited till the router reset, but could never get back in and the router would pulse my connection on and off giving a false error that the cable was unplugged when it was not. I went exactly step by step and just substituted my ips.
EZ out
I'm wondering if this has some special dependency on the 1st router that we aren't considering here...
?
Any chance that the subnet mask should be different:
Code:

Just to clarify a bit more ... I have a CableModem --> TrendNet --> Verizon v7501
I want to know what should be the IP to put (for what was specified as 192.168.200.1 in the post) - Just to clarify a bit more ... I have a CableModem --> TrendNet --> Verizon v7501 - which IP should I put there?
is it the
-IP of main router's Gateway, Or
-IP of Main Router, or
-IP of the Client Router assigned by the main router?
I can see it is in a loop - connecting to the main Router by wireless, dropping in about 3 seconds and redoing.

Guys , you have to put 192.168.200.1 and 255.255.255.0.no change in that step.
192.168.200.1 will be your Verizon v7501 local ip.
Tomorrow , i will put some details steps for CLIENT mode.
Remember in Client mode , don't use WAN port. Once you set your router to client mode, to connect to Verizon v7501, you have to connect network cable from laptop to LAN port of Verizon v7501. Also Since you disabled DHCP, put an static IP to your laptop like 192.168.200.20.

I am having the same problems as the people above. But I can tell you the restart happens on the firewall script alone (without doing the public LAN step). I just save the firewall script and do a reboot and you can see the router rebooting on its own.
I have few questions for you guys:
1. Do you need LEMONADE installed to perform this firewall script? ( I do not have LEMONADE installed).

My wireless network is only WPA-PSK (TKIP) as it is a maximum for my Westell 327W DSL Modem/Wireless Router.
I think for WPA PSK TKIP the syntax for join is different. You have to use NAS command. Thats what I read in one of the earlier posts - see page 33 or 34 of this thread.
2. In client mode , we will NOT use 7501 router's WAN port, so connect your 'Router ANY' to one of the LAN of 7501.
3. Reset your 7501 router to factory default. ( power on the 7501 wait for few minutes to start it completely and press the reset button which is at the back side, 7501 will reboot).
4. connect the second LAN port of 7501 router to your laptop, Laptop will get an DHCP IP 192.168.200.x.
5. Confirm the IP in command window with ipconfig command. Till now NO INTERNET on your laptop.
7. In Web page, Advance---> Public LAN. set Public LAN Enable:select it, Modem's Public IP Address:192.168.200.1, Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0. ( don't select 'Enable DHCP Server'). Click apply and it will reboot the 7510.
8. Again http://192.168.200.1/htmlV/welcomeMain.htm. Advance---> Private LAN and disable it
Private LAN DHCP Server Enable: uncheck it, Private LAN Enable: uncheck it, Modem IP Address:192.168.200.1, Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0. Click Apply.
9. Power OFF and ON 7501 router. Check the Laptop's IP now... it must get 192.168.1.x .
7501 router became Wired client Bridge. YOU MUST be able to browse INTERNET. ( if your main router 'Router ANY' doesn't has DHCP , to test you have to assign an static ip 192.168.1.x to your laptop)
B. NOW continue to make it Wireless client Bridge:
10. Make sure wired Bridge is working.( above steps 1-9. Internet is coming to LAN of 7501 )
11. Disconnect 7501 router from your main router 'Router ANY'.( disconnect the network cable between both routers )
12. Put the 192.168.200.x. as static IP for your laptop and Power OFF and ON 7501 router. (In laptop local area connection properties put static ip:192.168.200.x, SM: 255.255.255.0, GW:192.168.200.1, DNS1:4.2.2.2, DNS2:4.2.2.1)
Static IP for 7501 needed because once you set your 7501 router in client mode( without DHCP) this is the only way to connect the 7501.
14. Go to Firewall Setting, select/check 'Custom Security (None)', click Apply. Now click on 'Edit' which is next to 'Custom Security (None)'
15. In ' User Defined Firewall Rules' scroll down and in the last add following code to enable telnet. Click save and later apply.
Code:
/&/& /sbin/telnetd
16. In your laptop, open cmd window and connect to router via telnet.
Code:
telnet 192.168.200.1
17. test following commands ( i tested WEP only)
Code:
wl scan
wl scanresults ( get the channel# from the result you got for SSID of 'Router ANY')
wl ap 0
wl wsec 1 (for WEP)
wl wet 1
wl channel 10 ( i got 10 for my SSID in scanresults)
brctl delif br1 wl0 (for testing only, When we save this command in firewall script, we will put 'brctl delif br0 wl0' )
ifconfig br2 down
-----For WPA START, pls check page 28, post from BBBexodus-----
wl wsec 2 (reference=http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wl_command#wsec)
wl wpa_auth 2 (reference=http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wl_command#wpa_auth)
wl wepstatus 0
brctl delif br1 wl0 (for testing only, When we save this command in firewall script, we will put 'brctl delif br0 wl0' )
nas -P /var/nas.sta.pid -H 34954 -i wl0 -S -m 4 -k xxxxxx -s xxxxx -w 2 -g 3600 & (reference=http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=10703 comment 15 and http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs(2f)nas.html)
------For WPA END-------------------------------------------------------
killall udhcpc
cd /var/net_mgr/exec
./FirewallInit
./FirewallNone
wl join SSID key SSID_KEY ( For WEP)
ifconfig wl0 192.168.1.161 ( 192.168.1.161 is one of an available ip from 'Router ANY')
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wl0
echo "nameserver 4.2.2.1" > /var/etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 4.2.2.2" >> /var/etc/resolv.conf
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -o wl0 -j MASQUERADE
ping www.yahoo.com ( you must able to ping, else check your SSID/KEY/ENCRIPTION)
18. If you able to ping www.yahoo.com, test wireless client mode by removing the static IP (got from step 12) of the laptop .
19. Your laptop gets an IP 192.168.1.x from 'Router ANY'.
20. Now save all commands you tested in telnet session in Firewall script. Follow step 15 and after telnet fix add those commands except one which need to modify...
Code:
wl ap 0
wl wsec 1 (for WEP)
wl wet 1
wl channel 10
wl scan
wl scanresults
brctl delif br0 wl0 ( this one needed with br0, for testing only we used br1)
ifconfig br2 down
killall udhcpc
cd /var/net_mgr/exec
./FirewallInit
./FirewallNone
wl join baba1s key tttttttt (for WEP)
ifconfig wl0 192.168.1.161
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wl0
echo "nameserver 4.2.2.1" > /var/etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 4.2.2.2" >> /var/etc/resolv.conf
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -o wl0 -j MASQUERADE
21. Remember that 7501 router have local ip 192.168.200.1 and for any issue just follow step 12 and connect to 7501 router.
Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 14:09 Post subject: Re: Client Bridge , Detailed steps
First off, thanks for all the knowledge and hard work in this thread.
I'm getting stuck on step 4 after I connect my main router (WRT545G-TM) from it's port 1 LAN directly to LAN port 1 of 7501. After I reboot the router and...
4. connect the second LAN port of 7501 router to your laptop, Laptop will get an DHCP IP 192.168.200.x.
I still get an IP of 192.168.1.xxx
Is it something I'm doing wrong or the way my router is configured? I am able to log into the 7501 with 192.168.200.1 if I disconnect it from the main router.

is your laptop already has static IP 192.168.1.xxx ?
If you just have 7501 connect to your laptop, ( no other network connection to 7501) your laptop must get 192.168.200.xxx .
), test run it, and then link it to the HowTo section (this may take a week or so as I'm under the gun w/ other stuff... :/ )
