@chetasha , hi bought the router and its v10 , some how managed to flast dd-wrt to it but i am not able to set it up as wifi repeater or extender. watched some you tube videos and followed the steps carefully but still giving me hard time setting it up.

Finally, got it working after a hell lot of trys , but WiFi signal strength is weak as repeater hope in the next dd wrt build they solve it.
