I just installed DD-WRT on my Linksys E2500. It's connected to my parents WRT54G router that is also running DD-WRT. That router is connected to the clear Modem. I have my laptop plugged into my new router while my desktop is plugged into the other router (and the internet). My new router isn't getting any internet connection. I want to set it to a default IP address (192.168.15.3), last time I tried I messed up the router and had to do the 30/30/30 method. I want my new router to basically act as a switch but where I can connect wireless devices to it as well. The wifi from the original router barely reaches my room, so I want to use the new router's. I'd like it to be on the same network though.
Is their a guide or something that can show me how to connect my new router to my old one using a static IP address and get internet connection?
I was following the guide http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge but after I changed all of the settings and hit apply settings I am no longer able to connect to my router and have to reset using the 30/30/30 method.
