Since my last project was a success (VPN router) because of your help, I decided to jump into the next miniature project that will improve my home network setup.
Long story short, my extended family owns a building in the mountains where all of my uncles and aunts reside during the hot summer days. The building is 3 stories tall and the modem/router is on the second floor, the whole family shares this connection. However, being on the first floor and due to the thick walls, I can barely get a signal. So I figured out I could setup a repeater in our house, and if all goes well I'll do the same at my uncle's apartment.
First things first, I figured out it would be better to try this repeater idea with my Tp-link WR841N running on dd-wrt in our Beirut apartment. I reset the dd-wrt's settings to default and followed this tutorial: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=702030
My dd-wrt doesn't have a repeater mode, so I followed the client mode tutorial in the aforementioned link. The setup was easy as pie, but I couldn't access the internet through my repeater.
It's worth to note that my modem in Beirut is a technicolor tg582n, with IP 192.168.1.254 and I followed the tutorial word for word.
Any ideas?
