Hi,
factory reset did not to change anything. So I'm looking for instal openWRT firmware because with respect to DDWRT it constantly receives updates (last on this september 15.05 vs 2013 of DDWRT).

Hello erotavlas,
Repeating Functionality was removed in the latest firmware update due to security vulnerability.
The only way to get the Repeating function back is to downgrade to the previous version.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
thank you for your reply. I solved by installing the latest openWRT 15.05 firmware and it works like a charm.
this information is helpful as I also have the WNDR4300 with the latest firmware version installed on it. I have an older Netgear WNR2000 I want to use as a repeater. But...per your last posts, how do I get that openWRT 15.05 to work? I am not great with computers so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
the firmwares for 3700 and 4300 are both here: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/nand/
In particular, you have to download this https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/nand/openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-nand-wndr4300-ubi-factory.img and then you can install it from GUI by connectting to router.
Regarding to WNR2000 http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wnr2000 you have to find which version do you have by taking a look at the bottom of the router and then you can download the appropriate firmware. The installation procedure is the same as WNDR4300.
