I'm thinking about making the WAN port just another LAN port. Curious about how others are leveraging their DDWRT routers in similar (if even remotely) situation. | All my DD routers are setup as an AP or Client+AP. Repeater+AP is another easy option. And yes map WAN to LAN for all of them.

Bridged modes are not recommended for Broadcom routers unless you only have one client and need network access across the bridge. And WDS has been broken for BCM ARM for a while. :-/ _________________ # NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD # Repeater issues # DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo #
