Re: piggybacking a wireless router on a another router, and DHCP

Tom Jedrzejewicz wrote:

I don't think so.  It appears that David is not using the router or
DHCP server capabilities of the WRT54G, only using it a switch and
wireless access point.  Kind of slick, although I would also ask why
he didn't just replace his original internet router with the WRT54G.


Other way around ... the WRT54G *IS* being used as a router ... the
WRT54GC (travel router) isn't being used as a router, just a switch &
access point.  Neither is being used as a DHCP server, as my linux
system is doing that job.

As for the why of it ... just because I could.  The WRT54GC was dirt
cheap (around $20 a/r).
