Hi all, After reading through reviews and checking through the HCL and stock availability in stores, I bought a Linksys WRH54G wireless router and a WUSB54GC USB wireless adapter. The wireless adapter is fully supported out of the box - I plugged it in and it came up in Network Manager with the router's SSID, though I haven't yet tested WPA2.
I'm still setting up the router. This is not a strictly Linux question, though. Current setup (modem is desktop's gateway): (Desktop:192.168.5.84) >> (Modem:192.168.5.1) Desired setup (router is everyone's gateway, modem is router's gateway): (Desktop:192.168.5.84) >> (Router:192.168.5.2) >> (Modem:192.168.5.1) (Other Machines)---------------^ (the >> indicate wired connection, everything else is wireless) Most guides on the net simply say "plug in the cable from the modem into the WAN port". But I am not so sure. For one, I have turned off DHCP on the modem. If I try to select static IP as the type of Internet connection on the router, I am stuck at the gateway. The values I enter are: IP: 192.168.5.1/255.255.255.0 DNS: openDNS IPs What gateway should I enter? I am sure I'm getting something basic wrong. Configuring the WAN is the next major block for me.
