Now navigate to the Wireless Security on the same Wireless tab. Now navigate to the Advanced Routing on the same Setup tab. Apply all Settings and Reboot the Router. Posted in Linux , News.

The wiki seems to be pushing the stable builds, but those are deprecated. Setting this flag involves typing commands into the ping. The details for how to do this are in the wiki. Using openWRT will familiarize you with the command line and its lightweight nature encourages customization. We will be sending the firmware binary using tftp while the router is restarting.
The computer must have a static ip not DHCP so that it will have an active connection while the router boots. Unplug the power to the router and then plug it back in. Now you can send the tftp command. After the tftp transfer successfully completes the lights on the front of the router will flash for a bit. Then the power and DMZ lights will turn on solid while the router boots and sets up the file system. After this is complete the DMZ light will turn off.
Congratulations you have successfully flashed your router, well, maybe; You should ping a few things just to be sure.
Telnet will be removed on the next boot and replaced with ssh because telnet is really insecure. Time to move to Putty. The warning message is not a problem. Now you have full control of the router. These values can be changed at any time.
Before we tear down our good connection we need to install a piece of software. So to modify the file we remove the symlink and then make a copy of the original file and then modify that copy. Now we need to axe the firewall since the internet will be available on the wireless side of our router. Remove the symlink as before. If you decide to set up a new one and you probably should be careful because you could end up locking yourself out of the router, I did.
Now we break the bridge between the wifi and lan ports. This is where the wrt really shines; the grouping of lan ports and wifi is entirely up to your creativity. After the naming has been switched we set the router to client. The changes are commited and the router rebooted. This is just scraping the surface of what the wrt54g is capable of. Using client mode you can hang your wired network off of any wireless network you come across. You could plug in another wireless router to create a repeater.
You could set up multiple wrts in client mode like Cringely and have a redundant internet connection. Scripts like wondershaper can improve your network performance. All of your regular traffic could be sent over the wan interface while your bittorrent was sent over wireless to use your neighbors connection.
You could separate the wireless and wired sides, giving free access to passers-by while keep a secure wired connection for your home network. Well, I hope you can see how easy this to do and will try it out on your own equipment. Good luck! Oh, and Happy Birthday Vince!
I hope your day goes far better than the date Friday the 13th would imply. I have been using this solution myself for a while now and I am very satisfied. Also, I can only recommend to anyone to set up a VPN with their friends. You can very easily install tinc on OpenWRT by adding a few sources to the ipkg. Happy Birthday there! I know I am! Just to clear up any confusion: There are two people here. Vince writes the lazy afternoons and the links. I got my WRT54g just to use xlink. Now it is, I suppose Improve this answer.
