</a><br><br>That's what I'm doing at home now. One router downstairs (standard OEM firmware on WRT54GS) connecting to my WRT54G running dd-wrt as a. Technically, it's not WDS because that uses MAC addies to help establish the connection. It works, it's simple and rock solid.

But then I started port forwarding to different internal ports and all the new wireless settings (WDS, Bridging, etc) I needed to use. It was really 3 extra steps past the standard Linksys firmware update. And those Linksys steps are SIMPLE. OK, I think I've ventured into the realm of OT. Back to topic, Myth is uber kewl. It pwnz. There, now I feel justified.
