Well, if the machine's hostname is "wtf", that'd kinda explain it… ;D ;D ;D

LOL, Well i've a HDMI, VGA, and DVI port on this beast. I checked DVI/HDMI no go. So I pulled power to PSU, shut off PSU, Pulled CMOS battery. jumped the reset pins on the board. let it sit for 5 min. now it shows me something on the screen. So let me see if I can't get back to breaking stuff. :P

So Now i have WAN, LAN, and OPT1 interfaces.
Renamed OPT1 to AP
Type should be?…. DHCP or static?
Should be static...
Now as far as what kejianshi said about giving it a new IP and DHCP range elaborate further?
-
Just set up DHCP server on the AP interface.
-
The OPT1 should have a static IP just like the LAN, but a different subnet.
Then go to DHCP server and set up DHCP for that interface, just like the LAN (but different subnet).WTF - You can do it…
Purely for instance:
LAN - Static IP of 10.10.30.1 set up as a /24 and in DHCP range of 10.10.30.50 - 10.10.30.150
OPT1 - Static IP of 10.10.40.1 set up as a /24 and in DHCP range of 10.10.40.50 - 10.10.40.150
Just as an example...
If that doesn't work, I don't know WTF is wrong... Captain.
-
Okay, theres that.
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2925/ov3c.pngFinally I got it set up properly. The pfsense box has assigned the AP an ip of 10.0.1.10, Now on the AP side of things I believe i'm sticking it into straight up AP mode. no DHCP or anything, which should have it pull addresses from the pfsense machine I believe.
-
WTF, looks like it works! :o ;D
-
WTF, looks like it works! :o ;D
So far, Only problem is the AP interface doesn't pull WAN connection.
And how do I get the AP to pull DHCP requests from the PFsense box, Its running DD-WRT
I tried at one point to have it pull DHCP requests from the pfsense box but it ended up making the AP inaccessible via webgui and telnet so I had to reset it.

Yeah - I have a DDWRT set up as AP like you want - Following that manual will do it.
Caution - During that whole process, make sure you are SAVING after every step - Not applying.Do apply at the very end, then under admin interface in DDWRT, at very end, reboot.
Make sure you tell the AP to grab a static IP outside the DHCP range on OPT1.Should be all good.

+1, works perfectly fine here.

Followed those instructions SPECIFICALLY. did not work. lol. AP is not assigning ip addresses. nor can I acces web UI anymore.
-
The AP isn't supposed to assign the IPs.
Pfsense is supposed to handle DHCP for it.
You should have given your DD-WRT a static IP.
Trust me when I tell you, you didn't do something EXACTLY as you are supposed to. -

Trust me when I tell you, you didn't do something EXACTLY as you are supposed to.I did follow the tutorial EXACTLY as I was supposed to.
AP is set to assign out IP at 10.0.1.10-245 and I set the IP of the AP static @ 10.0.1.5 so shut your face sir :P
I followed that tutorial EXACTLY word for fucking word.
3 times.

Open the Setup -> Basic Setup tab
WAN Connection Type : Disabled
Local IP Address: 192.168.1.2 (i.e. different from primary router and out of primary router's DHCP pool)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (i.e. same as primary router)
DHCP Server: Disable (also uncheck DNSmasq options)
(Recommended) Gateway/Local DNS: IP address of primary router (many things will fail without this)
(Optional) Assign WAN Port to Switch (visible only with WAN Connection Type set to disabled): Enable this if you want to use WAN port as a switch port
(Optional) NTP Client: Enable/Disable (if Enabled, specify Gateway/Local DNS above)
Save -
Its ok. You know what they say.
If at first you don't succeed - WTF - Try, Try again. And again. And sometimes again.
You will get it right.
BTW - All of the things they list as "Optional" and "recommended" in that how-to aren't optional.
Disable all the optional stuff as well and take all the optional steps.
(Sorry if I didn't mention that before - Shutting face now :P) -

O Captain! My Captain! WTF not I say. Good luck.
-
Still doesn't seem to work. what the hell am I doing wrong lol

What version of DD-WRT are you using? What build number? (upper right hand corner of screen).
Also, what type of router? Lets start there.Also, if you remove DD-WRT router and you plug a computer into the new OPT1 interface, does that work?
