Hi mates, I strongly need your help for such easy configuration, I don't understand why I can't do it myself. I searched guided online and I can find only examples how to configure DDWRT as client-router which will consider wi-fi as a WAN and give another IP domain by its DCHCP to the LAN port.

I need something very simple, I need the Wifi connects to the internet router, and bridge everthing to the LAN port, transparent. I want to use my fonera as a WiFi adapter on a PC who just has ethernet. What parameters should I set? Actually fonera connects to router, by telnet I can ping everything, but no chance to "bridge" the two interfaces, by lan port I can only ping fonera.
I tried bridging, I've read about 'Masquerade' but hao w to activate it? Telnet commands I?ve found doesn't work here.
I?m looking hours for so easy problem. THank you a lot for your kind suggestion

See: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linking_Routers

When using Client mode make sure the IP address of your router is different form the Internet connected router.

Below some pointers which might help to get the best out of DDWRT and out of the forum:
1. Research your router, start with the supported devices wiki:
https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices .
2. In the supported devices wiki you can see if your router is supported and what architecture your router has and if you are lucky also an install guide/wiki.
3. Post in the right forum, from the former step you can see if your router is Broadcom, Qualcomm/Atheros, Marvell or other, use that forum to post router specific questions, for networking questions post in the Advanced Networking forum and for other things in the General Questions forum.
4. When posting always state router model, build number and when applicable the Kernel version.
Describe your problem and how you think it can be solved.
Give as much detail as you can also provide your network setup if applicable.
For your Network setup, state what wiki you have used: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linking_Routers
5. When posting pictures make sure the maximum width is not more than 600 pixels.
6. Do not hijack a thread, meaning do not post your own problem in someone else's thread. Just start your own thread. This so that it can be searched and found by others.
7. If your post is answered and your problem solved, mark your thread with [SOLVED] (the header of your first post).
8. Do NOT use the router database, builds can be found at:
https://dd-wrt.com/support/other-downloads/?path=betas%2F2019%2F
All builds are beta including those from the router database.
9. Before uploading a new build to your router, research the build by looking in the build threads.
This is an example of a build thread for build 41686 for Broadcom routers:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=322339
Search build threads with the search function and search on build number.
10. Use the build threads from the former step to report success or problems.
11. For older Broadcom routers (Linksys WRT54 and E series) read the peacock thread although some of it is outdated: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486
Builds can be found in the Broadcom directory for Linux kernel 2.4, in Broadcom_K26 for Linux K2.6 and in Broadcom_K3X for Linux K3.X.
12. If you are sure you have discovered a bug, after asking and querying the forum, you can report a real bug in the bug tracker: https://svn.dd-wrt.com/
This is also the place where the commits/changes to the source are administrated.

thank you for your answer, it means that this Fonera will act after like router? Giving one IP to my PC and using another IP domain for the wifi/wan interface?
I need the same broadcast, not a NAT. It is impossible to do?
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/26/0Cool std on a Fonera
