This is a 3 router WDS setup using WRT350N and 2 WRT54G, with the 1st WRT54G connecting to the WRT350N, and the 2nd WRT54G connecting to the 1st WRT54G. I have also tested with WRT600N, WRT310N, WRT300N and WRT54GS, so any broadcom-based device should work with these settings
Router 1:
WRT350N
basic setup page:
IP 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
DHCP server enabled
Administration tab:
change TCP timeouts to 120s
Wireless settings:
make sure all units are using same wireless channel, SSID and encryption
(i.e all SSID 'ddwrt' channel 6 encryption WPA2 personal AES)
on WDS tab set to 'lan' mode and enter mac address from 1st WRT54G
advanced wireless settings:
CTS mode disabled
frame burst disabled
WRT54G #1
Administration tab:
change TCP timeouts to 120s
change max connections to 1024 if it is set to 512
services tab:
disable WAN traffic counter and DNS masq
security tab:
uncheck 'filter ident' and 'block wan requests', then disable SPI firewall
Wireless settings:
Wireless mode: G-only
make sure all units are using same wireless channel, SSID and encryption
(i.e all SSID 'ddwrt' channel 6 encryption WPA2 personal AES)
on WDS tab set to 'lan' mode and enter mac address from WRT350N and mac address from 2nd WRT54G
advanced wireless settings:
CTS mode disabled
frame burst disabled
basic setup page:
connection type: disabled
IP 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
Assign wan port to switch
DHCP server disabled
uncheck all 3 boxes in DHCP section (dns masq/ dhcp authorative)
WRT54G #2
Administration tab:
change TCP timeouts to 120s
change max connections to 1024 if it is set to 512
services tab:
disable WAN traffic counter and DNS masq
security tab:
uncheck 'filter ident' and 'block wan requests', then disable SPI firewall
Wireless settings:
Wireless mode: G-only
make sure all units are using same wireless channel, SSID and encryption
(i.e all SSID 'ddwrt' channel 6 encryption WPA2 personal AES)
on WDS tab set to 'lan' mode and enter mac address from 1st WRT54G
advanced wireless settings:
CTS mode disabled
frame burst disabled
basic setup page:
connection type: disabled
IP 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
Assign wan port to switch
DHCP server disabled
uncheck all 3 boxes in DHCP section (dns masq/ dhcp authorative)
Reboot 1st router, then once 1st router has internet, power up 2nd router, then 3rd
That's it!
