I have a WRT54G with DDWRT installed. I'd love to extend the GoPro's network so I can get better FPV range with my GoPro. I own the FC40 which operates at 5.4ghz so I wanted to avoid a FPV option that operates on 5.8 (the GoPro is 2.4ghz)

Does anyone have a how-to?
 
Have a look at how I made it work. Some steps might be redundant.

I'm glad I found this thread. I tried to get this working last night. I got the iPhone app to connect to the repeater and could see the preview for a few seconds then it would disconnect.

I just have missed some small setting.

It seems that it worked then the gopro or app saw it wasn't connected to a proper device and dropped. I had different security on the phone side of the router than the gopro. I bet they need to be the same.
