I am stuck at a miss understanding of 3 settings.
I have a WRT54GS V7.2 And want to set this to link to any OPEN network I have what I beleiev are all the steps entered.. But I do not get what looks like the proper connection.

Under Universal Wireless Repeater... I do not understand a couple items.. I read the Must Reads and some examples..

Here are the three things that confuse me.

1) On page 5 of 8 (Picture)it shows that the Physical Interface that the Wireless Network name (SSID) is blank in the readings on page 4 of 8 at the bottom ) it says to set this to the wireless network you wish to connect to. A) I do not know what wireless network I wish to connect to.. i want the system to connect to any open network within range. I have added the Scripting to do so. The long script that you download and enter into the commands section and save as startup.

2) I set my Virtual Interface Scurity to wep and it never asks me for the KEY but always connects.
I never seem to connect to a nearby wireless open network and there are many.

3) The section on page 1 that sats For Example.. Does apear to show me my system is not working..

Can someone point me to more detailed documentation on this type of Universal bridge.

Or possible send me examples of their settings..

Thanks Happy Hollidays... I will be plugging away and still looking and googling for answers..
DETAILS:

Build 9-23-10 Voip Standard # 15253
What I have done.. Setup a test bed of a Laptop to try and repeat thru router. A Link via another laptop to program Router.
Linksys WRT54GS V7.2
I am wanting to be able to connect to an open WiFI network signal that I need to extend with the Standalone Router set as Repeater. So it extends the range of the wireless link. It is a open system there are several so I want the repeater to connect to any one that may be available and reconnect.. Iadded the following Script.

#
# Todo:
# - Connect to AP with specific MAC address
# - Deny other AP's macs with the same SSID. Fixed and dynamic list.
# - Give mac with preferred SSID(ssid*key*mac combination?)
# - Check network setup for G/mixed/B etc.
# - Configure via web GUI
# - Use non volatile storage for history
# - Make script to create different versions: Micro, copy to rc_startup, cat
# - Test connection WEP/WPA protected AP
# - Test script in all modes (AP, client, repeater etc.)
# - Test!

Hello.. Ok I got it working manually ... I can manually pick a Open Site to join. Was hoping top have the router do it on its own. (2)

1) WEP is still not working..
2) The autoAP Script does not seem to work..

The router is stand alone not connected to anything by wires.

Thanks Jerry
