Isn't this getting over complicated?
I would have one DHCP server, as near to WAN as possible.
If your WAN goes down you will need to be in WiFi distance anyway to access a static WiFi IP.
So unless you have some super yagi antenna, you are within ethernet connect distance anyway.
Am I missing something?

i put like this:
adsl - dhcp disabled
w-router dhcp server (.6-20)
openwrt (static 192.168.1.3) but i enabled DHCP Server (.21-30)or should i disable that second dhcp server so all devices connected to openwrt (wds AP) would get w-router's dhcp IP between 6-20
everything works when openwrt and wireless are connected with cable but when i try wirelessly it doesn't provide internet on pda which is connected to openwrt ap (wds)
Don't know your actual setting, hard to tell. Sounds like the STA cant connect to your wireless router.
post your config files or the luci screenshot

oh guys i didn't notice that you answered ( subscriptions are not working while upgrading openwrt site)
i changed a configuration a bit with enabling wifi on adsl router 
1. Wireless ADSL Router (192.168.1.254)
2. OpenWRT with STATIC 192.168.1.3
(Client(WDS) + AP(WDS) Bridged with eth0 LAN)
Luci - Network - Interface (LAN with three icons)
Luci - Network - Wifi ( Client (it shows as connected, Master (WDS) it waits for Station to connect (when i try with WIFI adapter it works while everything is connected with adsl with rj45 but without cable i cannot get internet)
(DHCP Server Disabled)
PICTURES SOON
3.DreamBox
IP : 192.168.1.4
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
Nameserver : 192.168.1.254
Gateway : 192.168.1.254
Port : 80
4. Any PDA with DHCP Client mode (automatic ip)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Airlive Wireless WL-5470AP Router
Static = 192.168.1.2
Mode : WDS (Connected to Wireless network of ADSL wireless and it has 85% signal)
IP : DHCP Relay agent mode
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.254
I will put it to extend signal on second floor cause it has 500mw + half meter omni antenna,
but after i manage to set first 4. devices (5. is optional)

Not sure your problem yet.
What about the firewall settings inside openwrt ?
In this case everything act as local traffic so Input Ouput Forward should set to accept and disable Masquerading.
Your setting is similar to mine.
Can't see problems yet.
Probably the wifi connection is too weak.
What about your PDA devices, they can connect to the wireless router from 1st floor ?
If not, then wifi repeating can't help you.
yeah i tried that too but i think that the problem is with IPs cause routers are 0,5meters far from each other so weak signal is not possible ( i show them on many different devices (PDA;HTC;LAPTOP) but when i try to connect it show LIMITED ACCESS. and just disconnects from network ( the wpa is 100% OK.)

So your PDA/laptop in 2nd floor can connect to 1st floor wireless router ?
i can with my old HTC diamond (with bad wireless antenna inside phone) connect to ADSL WIRELESS router without any troubles (signal is 40-60% but internet works i used that for a year) and know i didn't change anything except i want that openwrt router which is on same place where my shitty phone can connect to wireless connects to wireless so my dvb-s box has internet connection.
firstly i wanted to use hi-power airlive wl-5470ap (500mw) to improve signal in my house so i can connect with phone with at least 65-80% but now with those many problems i just want to openwrt gets working
Sounds like connection problem between your two wireless devices.
In 703n, inside your Client(WDS), be sure to fill in the BSSID - which is your wireless router AP MAC address.
If success, you will see something like that.
My 703n connect wirelessly to my main wireless router in 150Mbps.
And my wireless devices connect to the repeated APs which are in different name(ssid) and encryption.
All wireless devices and wired device connect to my 703n will get IP from my main wireless router, and get internet access from it.
Hi, I'm new to OpenWRT and networking, but thought a $20 1990s PC in a 6cm box sounded interesting, so I got one & flashed it with OpenWrt (ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT 12.09-beta, r33312).
When it's connected by ethernet I can ssh in without problems, but I'd prefer to connect via a router.
However, when I connect it to the router's ethernet & do nmap 10.0.0.0/24 it doesn't appear. I've tried it with three different cables, & two ethernet ports on the router; the relevant LEDs on the router line up. By contrast, I can locate and ssh into a netbook connected to the same route by ethernet only or by wireless. (Once I realised I had to install ssh-server 
)
(I think two of the cables are straight-through, one might be crossover, it's difficult to see.)
I thought I might be able to setup the WR703N's wifi while it was connected to my laptop by ethernet, but when I do iwlist scan there's no wlan0.
Any idea what I can try now to this connected via the router? Thanks 
OpenWrt uses 192.168.1.1/24

By default, the wireless is OFF, please read the wiki.
Thanks Squonk, I hadn't really tried the wifi seriously, but now I can also ssh to the WR703N that way. & thanks jow - though nmap 192.168.1.1/24 with a wired connection to the router doesn't list the WR703N either.
What I'd like to be able to do (initially) is connect to the WR703N with ssh and use just use that way, but with internet access. But at the moment,
a) when I SSH into it from a laptop (via a wired or wireless connection), the laptop loses internet connectivity &
b) the WR703N doesn't have internet connectivity.
I don't know what this use case is called & perhaps it's not the most natural thing to do with a router... I've dug around a fair bit looking for descriptions of how to do this; perhaps I missed something in all the detail.

Read openwrt.wiki,
config your 703n, that's it.
@denovo
You probably want to modify /etc/config/network so that the ip address is compatible with your network. Then modify /etc/config/wireless to get wifi. As suggested, read the wiki to figure out how to do this. The available editor is vi.

Ok - I've messed it up. I edited (the relevant part of) /etc/config/network to this:
config interface 'lan'
option ifname 'eth0'
option type 'bridge'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '10.1.1.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'This didn't get it to connect to the router, but I was still able to ssh with a wired connection. I changed something else (I think '10.1.1.1' to '10.0.0.0') & then couldn't ssh in any more.
I was able to use the (first) recovery procedure here to telnet in*. But now when I look at /etc/config, the network file isn't there:
root@(none):/etc/config# ls -A
dhcp dropbear firewall luci system ucitrack uhttpdSo I'm a bit stumped. Sorry about this. [For one thing, I need to read something a bit more basic than the wiki, which clearly assumes fundamental knowledge I currently lack. I've yet to find a brief, coherent beginners' guide to networking on the web. Any pointers would be appreciated.]
*This works, but for some reason the connection breaks every few minutes & I have to repeat sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.0.0.0.

Can't connect which router ? Another router ?
What do you mean cannot connect ? Cannot ping ?
First of all "zero" IP will never work ! This is the basic.
At least, it has to be 10.0.0.1
*This works, but for some reason the connection breaks every few minutes & I have to repeat sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.0.0.0.
Where did you issue this command ? In your linux ?

I haven't done this, but I think the wiki article on failsafe suggests that to be able to edit the /etc/config files which will be used upon rebooting, you need to mount the JFFS2 file system with "mount_root". You can then edit the config files and save them. Reboot with "reboot -f". (Never tried by me.)

That worked! I now have a tiny linux box hanging off my router with a fixed IP that I can ssh into & it has internet access (I checked with opkg update)
Thanks lizby et al - I'll see if I can get extroot working & install things now
There is a cheap popular USB video grabber called EasyCap.
But driver needs to be compiled.
http://easycap.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/n … k1160.html
Using 3.3.4 Kernel...
Any chance you can cross compile driver for Easycap?
Hi Friends,
I'm a new to linux command based system and openwrt.
I want to change chineese web interface to english. I try to open it chrome and auto translate to english. But no worth. Finally I found openwrt I installed it via chineese web interface.
No web interface. According to the openwrt guide I try to install luci but no luck.
I change router IP to 192.168.1.100 and setup gateway and dns.
But "opkg update" not work and giving me below error msg.
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … ckages.gz.
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … ckages.gz, wget returned 1.
I think that downloading link is not available.
To ensure that I ping to to google.com here result

It says "not found" in each line. But basically I assume that it has transmitted 6 packs and no losses.
Therefore I think my WR703 and access internet via my home router.
Please give me a help to update router web interface. Thanks
some said openwrt build system encountered system crash previously so all the old files are gone.
however even the system has back online now,
it still fail to build any trunk images.
That's why if you issue update command, it can't download anything.
Bcoz the server really don't have any files on it.
Hi
Please advice me to how do I update my router.
Can any one provide download image? Is it possible to update by using mirror link?
If yes please give me guide. or link for the guide.
thanks
