WN3500RP and DDWRT (on WNDR3800)
Hi
i am unable to connect the WN3500 to my WNDR3800 running DD wrt. I am very happy with DD Wrt but i cannot seem to be able to authenticate the WN3500RP in the Netgear Genie against my DD Wrt setup. My wifi setup on the main router is fairly standard, no ACLs, just WPA2.
The WN3500RP does not seem to have any problem connecting to my ISP's Netgear cable router (with stock Netgear s/w) so it must be some incompatibility with DD WRT.
Can someone please advise
thanks

- Should not be an issues being no ACL and using WPA2.
Extender simply joins just like any wifi adapter will do by scan the SSID and supply WPA2 encryption.
I don't know if firmware difference that much matters but from your finding it is. I don't think there is any thread to similar to this so it is new question asked.
