Netgear DG834 and WDS

[JerryMungo]

I have the DG834GT and can't find WDS setup. I have flashed with the official firmware that is supposed to support WDS but can't find WDS anywhere... can anyone help?

Ok - it turns out WDS is only available in an earlier firmware - dg834gt_1_02_14.img

Got it working fine with WEP - now to try WPA2.

I've seen a Planet-branded device that could do WDS after a firmware upgrade, but the only encryption it would offer in WDS mode was WEP.

I don't know why...

Apparently the same with this unit... will try wpa2 tho. There is an unofficial firmware for the Netgears from "DG Team" or whoever.... and they claim to have wpa2 and wds working but there is no option when I install their firmware. Anyway, this one works, I'll just have to make it 128 bit with some random key for now till something else becomes available.
