In my quest to acquire all of the city's WRT54GS's, I've also picked up a fair number of other Linksys routers that are not BBHN capable, but are capable of running DD-WRT (Open-wrt's commercial cousin). I've used WRT54G V8's for AP's connected to mesh nodes, as bridges and repeaters to get an internet connection to a mesh node, and a variety of other strange things. My usual drop-box is now a WRT54GS and G V8 strapped together into a mesh node/wifi AP combination.
Moving up to Ubiquiti, I'm stockpiling Nanostation M2's 'cuz they're so easy to work with. I'd like to graduate to a rocket or 3 with sector antennas on a repeater site.
Has anyone experimented with DD-WRT as a managed switch, setting up the VLANs to utlilize the DtD linking in BBHN V3? I'm about to spend some time trying, but if there's a land mine or two in the idea, I'd sure appreciate the heads-up.
Thx. |
