Please log in for more thread options trying to get rid of the wired network in my house and want to use the routers as Lan adapters. I was told I could do this if I loaded DD-WRT on the routers. I loaded them with v24 and they seem to all still work but I dont have a clue as to how to set them up. The routers still work fine as wireless routers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please log in for more thread options with this? Just the wasted electricity alone running those boxes would surely end up costing more than a couple of USB adapters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

> - Show quoted text - The routers cost me $5 each at auction. I have had a couple of USB devices and they both got damaged(I have kids)costing me over $100, and sometimes you just like to do stuff because you can. Doing something like this is far from TORMENT and geeeez God forbid I may learn something in the process. Jimmie | ||||||||||||||||||||||

You can use a wrt54gs as an access point by turning off DHCP server. I'm

I'm not familiar with dd-wrt but the wiki might be instructive. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page It seems to me you want to make your routers into wireless bridges. >> Please reply via email
