As of this writing, Tomato firmware does not offer a “repeater” mode. However it does offer a mode called ‘Access Point + WDS’. For a secondary router running DD-WRT, the wireless mode must be configured as Repeater Bridge. It will connect to a primary router in AP mode (DD-WRT default) with DHCP Server enabled . Any type of VAP (Virtual Access Point) on the host should work, including a WDS-AP (Atheros) or any VAP including on another RB, but can depend on the host router.

The first, is the wireless link between the remote AP and the DD-WRT router. This is configured on the DD-WRT routers physical interface so that the DD-WRT router can join the remote AP's network as a client, just like a laptop would. In the end I have done this configuration with Advanced Tomato 3.4 138, which does not have a Repeater mode. These are the main steps in case anyone else wants to achieve the same: * DHCP disabled in the repeating router. * I have set the 2.4G wireless network as an Access Point, which is the one my devices will connect to.
