Linux Wi-Fi: Supercharge a Buffalo (Part 2)
In last week's installment, we installed DD-WRT on a Buffalo wireless broadband router. Today we're going to learn how to do package management, TurboBoost, access restrictions and WPA/WPA2 authentication and encryption.
While you're still getting your router configured, don't connect its WAN port to the Internet; it's not ready for that yet. It's better to treat it as an ordinary LAN host until you have it all set up. On the Setup -> Basic Setup page, disable the WAN port and the DHCP server, and set the correct time zone. (The Time Zone converter can help you here.) Then on the Network Setup section, configure it like any other host on your LAN, with a local address and using your Internet gateway, because you're going to need Internet access.
