If have managed to brick and revive my router four times in the last month (that's once every weekend for those counting) trying to get a wgt634u to be a wireless client on and print server on my 802.11b/g network with WPA PSK. At our house we already have one Wgt634u running stock firmware as the AP. What I am looking for is:

WGT634U AP <----wireless---->WRT Wgt634u
|     |                                       |     |     |
W   W                                     P     W   W
i      i                                      r      i     i
r     r                                      i      r     r
l     e                                      n     e     l
e    d                                      t      d    e
s                                            e           s
s                                            r            s

If I understand correctly, I am trying to creat a bridge in client mode. I don't care if the WRT gets it's IP's from the AP DHCP or assigns it's own reserved subset (192.168.1.50-100 perhaps?)

I flashed the newest WGT634u build of Kamikaze 7.09 w/ Webif from X-Wrt.com. I turned off WPA PSK and tried the directions on the KamikazeClientMode Wiki page, as well as the client mode instructions on the Wgt634u Wiki page.  The directions off the Wgt634u wiki page did nothing but require a restore of the firmware configuration file in Web^if. The wiki page for client mode gave a few pointers. but was of little help. I edited my config/wireless to the following:

config wifi-device      wifi0
        option type     atheros
        option channel  8
        #option disabled 1
config wifi-iface
        option device   wifi0
        option mode     sta
        option ssid     Arch13
        option hidden   0
        option encryption none

I rebooted and now my wireless was turned on. I logged into web^if, changed the wireless Dbm to 12dbm instead of the default 0 and rebooted. It started up, but it did not seek out and join Arch13 on channel 8, which I guess I thought it would. So i logged onto Web^if again , went to the site survey options, and allowed the wifi to scan for networks. It saw Arch13, and I pressed "join". It said "Could not configure Wl0, Join successfull". Well gee, of course not since on the Wgt634u it's called Wifi0, not Wl0. So I facepalmed myself in frustration, reflashed the firware and said "That's it, I'm asking the community."

I understand how to use VI, but simply do not know what settings to change. After rebricking for the 5th time last night, I figured it was time to ask for help. Does anyone have previous experiance with the WGT634U in client mode who can share their experiance?

WGT634U uses Atheros hardware not Broadcom

Sorry, copied that from the Wiki. Corrected my post to what I actually edited via SSH. Thank you for catching that.
