I know that this is quite honestly a noobish question, but I'm trying to set up the rpi box hard-wired to an external router. I've got it working with the wifi dongle, but I want more range, and to configure WDS with two other routers. Right now, I just want to try to get it working with one router.
Router is: Linksys WRT54G V8 running DD-WRT firmware
I know that it's been stated that DD-WRT will not be supported but it seems to me that it shouldn't be that hard to achieve. I've tried turning off my routers DHCP and DNSmasq but with no joy. Should I disable the pi's dnsmasq and dhcp?
So my question I guess becomes more complicated:
1. Is it even possible to use an external router with the piratebox
2. How can I go about doing this?
3. Would this be easier if I were to just flash OpenWRT onto my router?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
