I've already tried that, but it seems my router is outdated or doesn't offer a wireless repeater. I checked custom firmwares, but I'm not sure if I'm making the right adjustments or if there are extra steps needed. Thanks!

Usually there are additional procedures needed to install third-party firmwares. For instance, on my old DLink I had to perform a 30-30-30 reset before DDWRT could install. Also, I needed to use an older version and upgrade it to the latest one.

Sure, I can help with that. A guide would be useful for someone just starting out with DDWRT.

Your gadgets aren't listed among the approved options. So... you're in a tough spot. I can't suggest even attempting a flash since it might damage the device. It could render the whole thing unusable. You might be compatible with alternatives like Tomato or similar systems. https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486 But this is the manual I followed. At the top you'll notice it's intended for Broadcomm-based devices. Not every router uses Broadcomm processors.
