DD WRT on a Linksys WRT54GL-DE v1.1

my brand new linksysSo, i recently got a Linksys WRT54GL-DE v1.1. What was the first the thing for me to do? Of course i flashed the firmware with the most recent version of DD WRT. Why DD WRT and not some other wrt, like OpenWRT? Well, the device should just work, as it is for my home (as in parents-home) network. I have to say im quite impressed by DD WRT, its a real nice piece of software. There is one tiny thing i havent figured out yet though. Imagine the following scenario: I want to use the WRT as router for my wired and wireless network, as an access point as well. I have my dsl modem somewhere in my network, connected to a switch. I want to connect the WRT with only one cable to the whole wired network, this means it should use this one link for the local network connectivity as well as for dialup. No, dont tell me it doesnt work, i used this setup for years with my software routers ;)

  1. I like the dd-wrt software too (as I mentioned in my blog a few months ago). It’s very easy to use and has got a lot of features which are not included in the original software.
    btw: nice to read new stuff here :)

  2. Warum sollte irgendwer behaupten, dass das nicht geht?

    Übrigens fragt mich das Spam Plugin gerade was 0 + 0 ist.. sehr cool ;-)

  3. weil das mit der standard-firmware nicht geht. ich denke das geht mit dd wrt, hab etwas probiert aber es nicht hingekriegt. jetzt hab ich es so (bitte aufpassen) hingebogen dass ich ein kabel vom wan/internet-port zu einem switch port laufen lassen und das kabel zum hausnetzwerk in einen anderen switchport gesteckt hab, rofl
