Re: Can the WRTG54L do client-bridge mode?

Would that be a Russian mail order client mode bride? Heh.

Sheesh. Leave out one letter and this is what I get. At my age, a
mail order bride is about all I can get.

Well, someone's gotta be the 'geezer pleaser', right?

You can use a WRT54G as a client to another network AND have it act as a
router out it's wired LAN ports.

I think you mean out it's WAN port. The LAN port(s) go to the local
LAN network.

Now that you mention it, I'm not entirely sure. I just recall doing that on our boat. Well, I did it for a short while until I added a 2nd router down below that handles it instead.

You can also do something similar using WDS (wireless
distribution system) which simultaneously acts as a bridge and a
repeater. Although I guess you can use the router section to glue the
local LAN to yet another network, that's not the way it's usually done
(meaning I've never done it that way).

Ugh, I despise WDS. Wireless is slow enough and prone to enough interference without turning it into half-duplex walkie-talkies.

Yes, the port setups under DD-WRT are pretty flexible for routing.
