Hello together,
may i am to stupid... (sure)
Ok i have already installed OpenWRT 10.03.1 / Luci 0.10 on my router.
I have access to to the gui (luci) and telnet.
My primary goal is to establish a wireless bridge to my primary Router (fritzbox). But after hours of configering without success, i decided to start with the smallest config.
I want only connect my router via WAN to my primary.
Config:
ip fritzbox 192.168.1.1
Ip openwrt 192.168.1.2 (LAN) static
WAN - dhcp (get 192.168.1.20)
DNS server 192.168.1.1

Ping from openwrt to 192.168.1.1, no success.

Sorry guys, but help would be highly appeciated

Ok, i have installed gargoyle, took the config files and reinstalled openwrt (LUCI), but again no success.
With gargoyle i get the wireless bridge running...
When a try to start the wifi i get: wireless is disabled or not associated

I'd recommend OpenWrt Backfire final + LuCI and Routed Client with relayd (Pseudobridge).

Thanks guys for your help.
Finally i use Gargoyle, which is also openwrt based.
Gargoyle is very easy to configure.

The relayd works too, but it is to awkward. The gargoyle gui is much more user friendly.

Now i have a bridge instead of WDS, the speed growth up as twice as much.

Ok, just for information.
I am back again to openwrt (luci) because gargoyle doesnt support DHCP over the bridge.
The relayd function works really good...

The discussion might have continued from here.
