I recently was given a Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G broadband router with its installation CD (which according to the terse instructions has a windows and mac modes - of course no Linux). I want to use this as simply a wireless access point to my existing LAN. I already have a router and DSL internet connection. Anyone have any experience or links which can help me figure out how to use this puppy?You might find it informative to check out the fora (plural of forum) and wiki at dd-wrt.com. dd-wrt is alternative firmware for many (but not all) of those linksys router/AP thingies, so the main emphasis there is using their firmware. But you might glean something too even if you decide not to change firmware.
Unfortunately, I dd-wrt won't run very well on the above router. This router has too little RAM to accomodate dd-wrt. You need the the WRT54GL flag, to use DD-WRT succesfully.
/me ordered WRT54GL precisely because I looked all of this up, beforehand.If you browse through this router's manual, I believe that it has web-based configuration access. I forget what's the router's default address, I think it's http://192.168.1.2, confirm it in the manual.
Just plug in a laptop into one of the router's port, browse to its configuration page, and set it up, by hand.
