My network laser printer is assigned an IP address within the approved subnet range and is therefore unavailable to house guests. This design prevents curious house guests from trying to snoop the server and private files. When testing and enabling DHCP, DD-WRT assigns addresses outside the preconfigured range. I configure DD-WRT not to provide DHCP addresses. I have both NFS and Samba configured on my LAN server to allow connections only from within a specific range of the subnet. DD-WRT on the RT-AC66U supports OpenVPN, which I want to use. On the WRT54GL I have DD-WRT configured with the following:Ī feature I did not use on the WRT54GL is a VPN because only PPTP is available. Time to update my documentation by rewriting them as a “DD-WRT From Scratch” exercise. Finding correct information is a frustrating effort.
The web interface built-in help leaves much to be desired.
Even finding the correct firmware version for a router is an uphill exercise. The DD-WRT wiki and forum is filled with old and obsolete information. Enabling and configuring various features often requires modifying options in more than one location in the web interface. I was rusty with configuring some of the features. I hadn’t configured DD-WRT from scratch in many years. DD-WRT for the RT-AC66U contains additional features I have seen never before with the WRT54GL. When I started configuring my Asus RT-AC66U from scratch I realized my documentation was insufficient. I have decent notes and backups of my Linksys WRT54GL DD-WRT configuration.
