WRT54G with dd-wrt firmware question

mloc

I have a linksys WRT54G with dd-wrt firmware working nicely. It's in a separate building to my house, connected via a wireless bridge of two WAP54G access points.

I was wondering if its possible to use the WRT54G as a wireless bridge point, freeing up one of the WAP54Gs. It would be pretty handy if i could.

I know theres a specific forums for the wtr54g that gives u all new firmware to do pretty much anything you want with it (like a full new OS on the system) but again - cant remember the address offhand

I know ur prob happy with the DDwrt firmware, but have u looked into the options of other firmwares like http://www.hyperwrt.org/ ?

There may be something in there that will let you do as you wish.

think i got it working. updated to v23 firmware on the router, set one AP to client mode and now thats working as a wireless bridge with the router. second ap (working as basic ap) connect through a switch to the first, and third ap working as wireless repeater from the second.

perfect.
