I actually have my dd-wrt router set up with its own IP and everything. The question is, is this everything you did? Did you change the operating mode in the Advanced Routing tab? Did you turn off the dd-wrt router's DHCP? I presume the two routers are connected by a cable and not using a wireless repeater mode?
The setups I tried were the wireless repeater mode and a wired mode. The wired mode I might have given up on too quickly. Just trying to figure out if there might be any other settings that are different. I followed the guides on the dd-wrt wiki and ended up doing all sorts of things like disabling NAT and tons of other crap.
Edit: also, what firmware do you have on your dd-wrt? Model? :3 Sorry about all the questions. I don't understand routing terribly well, to be honest.
Apart from the wifi network, I also disabled "Use DNSMasq for DHCP Use DNSMasq for DNS" but I really don't think it is necessary.
I use it wired, and the wire goes to the switch port, not the WAN port. The wan is disabled and dhcp server I leaved turned on.
Do you know if your router is Broadcom or Atheros chip? If it is atheros, it is harder to create a wireless repeater, some options wil lnot be visible. If your router is atheros, try using Gargoyle firmware, my favourite.
The router im using for this is one wrt54g v8 with
DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/28/08) micro
