I have already set it up with another v1000m router as a repeater with the help of the ddwrt web site. I was just on that site but can no longer find any info for the v1000m...

The stock model is not ddrwrt so you are way off in the bushes. That is, I only talk about stock setups. If you go with ddwrt, then you hit the ddwrt forums.

That's where I go for ddrwt setup, install and use.

Here I don't see folk get into ddwrt and what it can do.
