BlackICE:
I am going to respond to your post, but please do not mention DDWRT on this board or your posts will be removed and you will be banned as per our guidelines.
"Can there be a feature in future firmware, where the wireless of thedevice can be set to client mode, so it just connects to any existingwireless network as a client? This is what I would need."
I understand what you want, you want WDS. This feature is not available on this unit, and it might not ever be.
"Actually, on the packaging it should explain the limitations"
This is a feature that is not on every router. In fact it isn't on most routers, therefor it is not a "limitation" but a feature, and one that doesn't come with this unit. I bet you would have a hard time finding any router manufacturer that puts "not WDS compatable" on the box. Simply put, if it says it is WDS capable on the box, then it is WDS capable
"Or explain, what it is meant with "bridge". Many people will buy WHR-G300N and will miss a wireless bridging function"
There are many different features for different wireless devices, if you need one of these features you should make sure that you know what the feature is called before purchasing the product. This is no different than any electronic device that comes with different features.
"another question: where can I download firmware for the WHR-G300N? Iwant to try DD-WRT but later switch back to original firmware and couldnot find any version to be downloadable."
You can download it from our website (if you're in the US) however once you put DD-WRT on the router you void the warranty. Also the firmware that we have is encrypted and you may not be able to put it back on once you flash the third party firmware. If you wish to try it out, I suggest waiting until the warranty expires or you do so at your own risk.
