If you want to play there are plenty of budget routers to experiment with and some are even easily available through things like Freecycle / Freegle / Gumtree / etc.. My first one, which admittedly was with DD-WRT not OpenWRT, was a D-Link DIR615 that I picked up for free as it was badged as a Virgin router. It was only custom firmware on standard hardware, so could be re-flashed with the stock firmware (much like the Netear DG834 units used by Sky some years ago - I did well with free ones of those reflashed too stock allowing an easy VPN to parents and in-laws for IT support - there was an odd date bug in the log email code though that jumped the month back a couple of months at the end of the year). That I setup as a wireless access point with a straight forward install of DD-WRT. This was a handy cheap way of extending my wifi coverage.
Actually, two of the access points (original post) are WRT54G running DD-WRT. Tim -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-02-05 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
