Hi ,
I have flashed my wgr614l with openwrt firmware .
I have tested it for wireless client bridge mode and it is working fine but I am not able to configure it as a repeater bridge.
I have edited the file "etc/config/wireless" as follows :
config wifi-device wl0
option type broadcom
option channel 5
# REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network lan
option mode sta
option ssid home_test
option encryption none
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option mode ap
option ssid OpenWrt
option encryption none
Now if I scan for avlbl APs for a wireless client , it shows OpenWrt as one of the SSIDs but I am not able to connect any station with this AP.
Could any body plz tell me if this feature is supported in OpenWRT and if yes where I am making mistake .
Thanks in advance,

I have heard of no problems with it working in bridge mode?
Is this associated with the main AP?
All I see is 1 wl0
May try the dd-wrt forum. -
Yes it is connected with main AP ..... I have gone through the DD-WRT documentation regarding this and based on that ... I can say that my client bridge is working but repeater bridge is not ....
Is there any configuration option that I need to enable for this particular purpose ... -

I have not used OpenWRT at all, you will be better off on their forum.
I was just looking at the devices ID and only saw the one. Normally it has to associates with the main router. -
Well ... Now I am able to configure my NetgearWGR614L as a repeater bridge ...
All I needed to do was enable NAT related options in .config files and edit files
/etc/config/wireless, /etc/config/network and /etc/config/firewall and it started working ...
