Do you connect your WRT54G to another computer using the WAN port or using a LAN port (1...4)? If any LAN port or WIFI link (default on 192.168.0.x) is established between WRT54G and another router with DHCP enabled, OpenWrt would surely disable DHCP server functions, allowing all connected devices to change all IP settings coming from the other router you have (192.168.1.x). If any computer is connected with an IP different from 192.168.0.x, you'll not be able to connect to the WRT54G web configuration service. If the main network is based on 192.168.1.x subnet, you should modify your WRT54G to use a static IP belonging to 192.168.1.x network. >I think I will turn off the main router or will go to a place where it is out of range, and then I will try again. This could be a good chance. >Would it be safe to press on the physical reset button on the OpenWrt router? Generally the reset button brings the router into a factory default configuration with a static IP setting 192.168.0.x, DHCP on, wifi off. Any reset would not help to connect it while using a different IP subnet. >> >In general, OpenWrt 8.09 seems to be working as expected. >> >The thing I would like to do is to use that router as a wireless >> >repeater (bridge). >> >> That's surely working, at least try to avoid double DHCP and/or DNS >> between the wireless repeater/router and the main router/appliance >> where you get connected to.

What do you exactly mean with "wireless repeater"? Wireless interface in Access Point/infrastructure mode? (=lan bridged to wireless, wireless available for wireless clients) Wireless interface in wireless client mode with bridged lan? (=wireless connected to another network, lan bridged to wireless) Wireless interface in wireless client mode with routed lan?

Any OpenWrt edition/release may review and modify the classified families or groups. By the time, new products and new chipsets are released, so any older group could be changed, grouped or split into more folders. You probably found the right firmware for "Broadcom 2.4" on Kamikaze 8.09, that in next OpenWrt releases was split into different several Broadcom 47xx, 53xx, 63xx, etc etc, new families.
