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.

Did you follow the wiki... sounds like the gateway address was not entered... but we have no idea what router or build

Moved to Broadcom so that it will get better attention

See the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about how to research your router, where and what firmware to download, where and how to post and many other helpful tips:

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? Confused

Finally, I manually add a default route gateway to solve this problem.
Code:
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

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.

I also think the first thing to try whenever there is a time-related problem in DD-WRT is to blank the Server IP/Name field! Smile

If you had to use custom NTP server, better enter its IP address instead of a domain name. You might have messed up settings related to DNS servers.

You can manually set the ntp update time via nvram variable as noted by "the-joker" in that thread CoolWink

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.

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.

It looks like the OP is using an old, unsafe and no longer supported build.
