OpenWRT<\/a> for the Buffallo WHR-G125 is listed as Work-In-Progress, with no install or config information on the wiki<\/a>. However I just verified that the latest X-Wrt<\/a> Kamakazi brcm-2.4 snapshots work, including wireless. WRT treats the left-most port, labeled “1”, as the WAN port instead of the “Internet” port, which I think is switched with the other lan ports. Also it crashed when I tried to enable SSL for the web-interface, during the install of libopenssl. I think this happens when it runs out of space on \/jffs, which is very tight at 2MB.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I installed this snapshot, built on July 9th, from the X-Wrt website, using Tamato’s firmware upgrade page on the web-interface. I imagine it will work with the stock firmware or DD-WRT as well, although you may have to rename the file to .bin:<\/p>\n

I use PPPoE to connect to Qwest, bridged through my DSL router. Wireless is working with WEP, both from my centrino laptop with Intel PRO\/Wireless 2200BG and from the NintendoDS. I haven’t tried WPA. I also installed and enabled UPnP and QoS using the web-interface, but I haven’t tested them yet.<\/p>\n

One of the things I love about OpenWRT is the ease of setting up fixed DHCP ips and local DNS. You can use the web-interface, but I find that editing the files directly is more convenient when adding many entries at once. Just ssh in to the router (user root, password same as web-interface), edit \/etc\/ethers and \/etc\/hosts, then run “\/etc\/init.d\/dnsmasq reload”. Ethers is a new line separated list of MAC addresses followed by ips:<\/p>\n

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX::XX\u00c2\u00a0 192.168.1.X<\/p>\n

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX::XX\u00c2\u00a0 192.168.1.X<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The hosts file, just like on any linux system, is a new line separated list of ips followed by a list of hostnames:<\/p>\n

192.168.1.1 wrt wrtroutername2 wrtroutername3<\/p>\n

192.168.1.2 a alongname<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Now if you try to ping “wrt” and “a” it should go to 192.168.1.1 and .2. Note that you need to release\/renew the clients using DHCP so they get the new fixed ips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
