Right now, I have my (de-bricked, thanks wzab) WAP54G set up in repeater mode, the Client (Bridge) option in webif^2.

However, there's 2 other ways I could have set it up to bridge, correct?

* WDS with the main AP (WRT54G running OpenWRT)
* Bridge the WLAN and the Ethernet interfaces and use AP mode

I'm using repeater mode as it was easiest to set up (after setting lan_ifname=eth2 instead of br0, to avoid the "received packet with  own address as source address" problem). I don't think WDS is really necessary as we have only one other AP, and bridging the lan and wan interfaces and using AP mode would make clients be wishy-washy about which AP they associate to, the main or the secondary.

What would you guys recommend for my purpose? I was berated for having the AP as a client, as apparently it wastes bandwidth between the main AP and the secondary.

Hm. Apparently using Client-Bridge mode doesn't actually do much for me, even when setting iwconfig's mode to repeater. So, I just switched to using the bridge and AP mode, and I guess the clients will flop between APs as they see fit.
