Networks DD-WRT Repeater mode

does anybody know if a dd-wrt router in repeater mode has the wired ports active? right now i have a router running in client mode connected to my desktop and fileserver, i'd like to get it working as a repeater as well because my new aspire one is having a hard time getting a signal in my room.

 

Yea, they're active.

 

thanks. gonna try it tonight.

 

I never knew about repeater mode, what are the limitations? I have a "N" router in my room that my laptop can barley pick up in the living room, if I got one of these could I leave it downstairs and it could just pick up and repeat the "G" signal along with giving me a wired connection for my PS3?

 

limitations are that the clients connected to the repeater have to be on a different subnet to the clients on the primary router.

 

Which makes since. You can't have the same subnet on two sides of a router.

 

you can use a router in "client mode" to connect to your main router then broadcast a second SSID on the second router as far as i know based on info from the DD-WRT forum.
