Posted: Tue Nov 30, 2021 4:44 Post subject: NTP client DO NOT work in Repeater Bridge mode
when using wireless repeater bridge mode as the pic shows below
The secondary dd-wrt router won't get the time server.
when i tests in the shell command, it won't resolve the domains.
LIKE: ping www.dd-wrt.com. having nothing reply [/code]
checkd the wiki, probably the point 9 ?
9.Go to the (Setup ->) Advanced Routing tab: Change the Mode to Router
Save and then APPLY settings: allow router to reboot
i don't quite understand, why change to router mode?

Leave NTP server box blank; disable and uncheck everything related to dnsmasq; don't enter a dns server address anywhere. All you should need is the gateway address on the main setup page and *maybe* if it requires it, in the vap configuration. Since we have no idea what router, what build, we can only guess it may be a build that something was askew in. Of course, screenshots of configurations would've helped determine if configuration error. Glad it's working, but I'm sure there was something amiss. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

You can manually set the ntp update time via nvram variable as noted by "the-joker" in that thread
The question I have is did the OP disable cron? There are several factors that could be at play here. With no feedback or screenshots of how this device was actually configured to see if the wiki needs edits or the OP missed a step, etc., we don't have a clue what's broken, if anything. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

the problem mighte be missing the default gw routing table.
And i noticed that my dnsmasq service can't be disabled.

Because you didn't follow the procedure correctly in the wiki. Reset to defaults, start over, and do it in order. If something is amiss in the steps, let me know. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
