I'll probably get a WRT-54GL from newegg.com. I'm thinking<br>about getting more than one of these things. Right now, I have<br>a Belkin piece of junk wireless router.<br><br>Can OpenWRT/DDWRT make the WRT-54GL act in both<br>client and AP mode? Suppose I have a WPA wireless network<br>at home and I want to temporarily give people WiFi without<br>doing anything to my wireless router. Can I set the WRT-54GL<br>so that it is a client of my existing network and I put in the<br>passphrase, etc. into it and it then broadcasts an open network?<br><br>John<br><br><br><b><i>Brian Pitts <brian@polibyte.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> John Burdell wrote:<br> > I just put Fedora on an old box and setup port forwarding on<br> > my router to let him login via ssh and then he tunnels his traffic<br> > so that everything appears to come from my home

If it's version 4 or earlier, you could <br>install OpenWRT or DDWRT on it. There is "micro" version of DDWRT that <br>works on some of the later revisions, but it doesn't include ssh.<br><br>http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Linksys/WRT54G<br><br>-Brian<br>_______________________________________________<br>Ale mailing list<br>Ale@ale.org<br>http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale<br></blockquote><br><p> __________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
