Hello dd-wrt.com forum,

I have Trendnet TEW-818DRU Router, and I am trying to make the router act
as an Access Point. I did flash DD-WRT v3.0-r44715 hoping this will help
with what I am trying to do.

I want all the clients (wifi or lan) connecting to TEW-18DRU Router to get
there ip from the main server and the router act as Access Point. I try
setup Network Address Server Settings to 'DHCP Forwarder' but it dose not
seem to be helping. Also I went through the DD-WRT control panel but it
dose not seem I am going anywhere.

here is what i am trying to do:

Main Server
----------------------
dhcp, gateway and dns
ip: 10.0.1.1
----------------------
|
|
v
Router
--------------------------------
Name : tew-818dru
Firmware : DD-WRT v3.0-r44715
Wan - DHCP: 10.0.1.52
--------------------------------
|
|
|
v
| wifi client 1 (DHCP ip: 10.0.1.xxx) | wifi client 2 (DHCP ip: 10.0.1.xxx) | wifi client 3 (DHCP ip: 10.0.1.xxx) |



is this something DD-WRT Firmware can help with ?


here are the current Configuration:

WAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connection Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP
IPv4 Address : 10.0.1.52
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 10.0.1.1
IPv4 DNS 0 : 10.0.1.1
IPv4 DNS 1 : 10.0.1.4

Local Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IP Address :192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 0.0.0.0

You don't use dhcp forwarder.
