On several builds I have been able to get repeating itself to work, as in I have Internet access both wirelessly and wired when connected to the DD-WRT router.
Unfortunately, I am not able to connect to the DD-WRT admin GUI afterwards, even when connecting to DD-WRT Router wired. I have tried changing the IP address to 192.168.1.2 with no luck, although there should be no conflict with 192.168.1.1 and I have tried that as well. I have to reset my router every time I want to get back in to the admin.
Builds I have tried:
r44538 (for R6700v3)
v3.0 40559 (for R6700, not R6700v3)
v3.0 36527 (for R6700, not R6700v3)
egc's recommeded build for R6700v3
I have extremely limited access to running commands on my computer due to my OS.
Details:
I go to my wireless settings, change the DD-WRT SSID to be that of Main Router. I have two bands, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, and have tried changing one, the other, or both at once. I add a virtual interface, "dd-wrt_vap", so I do not match the SSID of Main Router with that. I do not match passwords either.
I go to Setup -> Advanced Routing and change mode to Router. I disable SPI Firewall or don't, it makes no difference.
I go to Setup -> Basic Setup, I do not change Gateway or Local DNS from factory default, as I don't know Main Router's IP address, and don't care about accessing it from connections to DD-WRT Router. I sometimes change the local IP Address to 192.168.1.2, sometimes don't, it makes no difference. I don't change the router name.
I reboot after applying everything.
I have gotten this working correctly a while before on another now bricked router and unknown build without doing much more than this, so I am very confused as to what the issue is.

Use build 44538.
The problem is that you do not know your main routers settings.
Repeater bridge only works good if you know these settings and give your repeater bridge a Local IP address in the subnet of the main router and set the local DNS and the Gateway to the main router.
It does not work if you do not follow the wiki: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge
