WDS to implement a wireless network bridge (wireless repeater)

Primeiramente gostaria de salientar que não sou o autor principal do conteúdo deste artigo. A minha intenção é de mostrar o que outros autores tem realizado (referenciando links para o conteúdo original) neste blog até como um guia pessoal para uso próprio e ainda compartilhar minhas anotações e pequenas modificações que realizo no conteúdo, desejando que possa ajudar mais alguém em algum lugar.
First and foremost, I take no credit for any of this post’s content. I am really just taking what others have done (which I have links to bellow) and am putting it on my blog for a personal reference and hopefully the small changes that I made to their guides will help someone somewhere.

Set the IP to an another address.
On switchless devices, simply bridge all ethernet interfaces together, remove the existing WAN interface - if any. On devices where WAN and LAN are separated by switch config, reconfigure the LAN VLAN to cover all ports, remove the existing WAN interface and its related VLAN - if any.
If you would like your AP to receive IPv6 as a host only and not for routing you have to tell dhcp6c not to request prefix deligation. If you do not do this the AP will reject basic IPv6 addresses. If you want to still be able to use ipv6 on the Router itself change the wan6 to lan6 and @wan to @lan

In the radio0 section, make sure that the wireless settings match the values in the access point.
Modify the wifi-iface section to include the desired SSID to which to connect (the same one as on the access point) and ensure WDS is enabled by setting this value to 1.
Create a new wifi-iface section and copy all the values from the existing interface, but make two changes: use mode 'ap' instead of 'sta' and leave out the WDS option or set it to 0.

And Disable Firewall (optional):
/etc/init.d/firewall disable 
/etc/init.d/firewall stop



Multicast forwarding is necessary for DLNA and UPnP clients to work properly. For example PS3, xbox, TVs and stereos use DLNA to detect, communicate with and stream audio/video over the network. Since multicasting is turned off (multicast snooping is turned on) by default in newer OpenWrt releases, it must be activated. This would forward any multicast packets to all ports allowing your TV to find your DLNA capable NAS with movies. In large networks, this could cause some overhead which may not be desirable.
vi /etc/rc.local


# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.

echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/net/br-lan/bridge/multicast_snooping

exit 0


Config Access Point

Only one change is needed from a normal wireless access point configuration. In the existing wifi-iface section that is being used, add a line with option wds '1'.
edit our  /etc/config/wireless file and disable wifi-iface STA mode and unhide wifi-iface AP mode. Also set this WDS to 1.

vi /etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device radio0
option type mac80211
option hwmode 11g
option path '10180000.wmac'
option channel 1
option htmode HT40
option country '00'
option txpower '17'
option distance '30'

config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network lan
option ssid 'casa'
option mode 'sta'
option wds '1'
option bssid '90:F6:52:D4:F2:50'
option encryption 'psk-mixed+tkip+ccmp'
option disabled '1'
option key 'wifipassword'

config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network lan
option ssid 'casa'
option mode 'ap'
option wds '1'
option encryption 'psk-mixed+tkip+ccmp'
option hidden '0'
option key 'wifipassword'

config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network service
option mode ap
option ssid service
option encryption none
option isolate 1
option hidden '1'

Apply changes:

/etc/init.d/network reload

/etc/init.d/firewall restart

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart

To access each router in "service" mode connect to wifi ssid ( YS161919451F , YS160708032F ) and point browser to http://192.168.8.1. Then login with your root password at luci interface. It is not very safe if you have an hacker close to you, but is very handy.

On the router you should config these MAC Address to have reserved client dhcp:
router YS160708032F = 20:28:18:a1:e5:2e
router YS161919451F = 20:28:18:a2:2c:12
