I have two questions about this repeater bridge mode,

1) After leaving the secondary router (wrt54gl) on overnight in repeater bridge mode, The connection was down this morning. I re-booted the router to get the connection back up. Is this behavior normal? I will try repairing the connection next time to see if that will work. [edit] The connection was down again when I got home from work. I repaired the connection, and that restored it w/o re-booting the router.

2) Is it possible to setup wireless security on the secondary router (wrt54gl), but leave the primary router (wrt54g) unsecured? I plan to attempt this tonight, but I thought I could get valuable input here.

Disagree with removal of 'Hard reset'

As per edit. I've set this up on two different routers and the first time could not get it to work until I did a hard reset. The second time I did multiple reboots from within the GUI just to be sure it was not working, only then I did a hard reset and it worked.

Hard reset will reset all previous steps
