@inbox788. Thanks for the clarification on the terminology. Yes, a Wireless Repeater is exactly what this client needs. But I don't see "Wireless Repeater" as an option for the Wireless Mode in Tomato. The 5 options are: 1. Access Point 2. Access Point + WDS 3. Wireless Client 4. Wireless Ethernet Bridge 5. WDS @yarwell.
Any bridge/gaming adapter/ethernet bridge/etc from most manufacturer should work and most support WPA2/AES. These are client-bridge devices eg. I now have a setup where I can connect 4 or 5 devices on a client bridged router, connected to the wndr3700. Running tomato (broadcom only ) though only a single mac is recognized on the other end In fact, Tomato supports two types of client modes: wireless client mode and wireless Ethernet bridge mode. In bridge mode, the wired clients share the same subnet with the primary or “host” router. DHCP is assigned by the primary router and simply passed through by the client router. Tomato will accept WRT54G/GL, WRT54GS, WRT54GSv4, WRTSL54GS, WR850G and TRX types of files, but it cannot check if the firmware actually supports your router. Open Tomato's GUI in your browser, go to Administration/Upgrade, select the file and click the Upgrade button.

A "wireless access point" per se does not claim to be a bridge or repeater. It is a common misconception that a "wireless access point" must also be a "repeater" or "bridge" although these are distinct functions different from an access point. Of course, there are wireless access points which can also be configured as repeater or bridge or used

IPv6 won't work in the Wireless Ethernet Bridge mode. This is because the Broadcom driver doesn't support it, see some explanation here (see below, this is a link on the website), for example (this is about the hardware wireless bridge, but the same concepts apply to the WET mode on a Broadcom router). It would not connect as a Wireless Bridge to a 5GHZ SSID that had a space in the name. I was able to get it to connect to a 2.4ghz without a space but no matter what I did (I wasted 2 hours on this thing), I could not get it to work. Also the user interface was the worst I have ever seen on a router.
