Routers on the road

[WEE WILLIE]

I have a number of wireless routers including a linksys wrt54g v5.0. I will be using a laptop in my trailer while any of at different rv parks, and wondered if I can set any of them up to pick up the parks wifi, and use a nfusion solaris to watch tv. I wanted to have my laptop connected to a router in trailer, and using a outside antenna to pick up the wifi. If anyone could give me a step by step instructions to set up laptop and router to do this would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

You would need to set it up as a repeater.

First check to see if your router is compatible with ddwrt (I'm sure it is) but this link will also give you the flashing instructions and the kernal to flash. Punch in your make and model, and make sure you include the version # as it's important

Then once you have ddwrt running on your router follow this guide

For more visual instructions refer to this video

That's a two part video, part one explains client bridging and repeater bridges and part 2 is the execution

The WIFI stuff is the easy part, re-aligning the dish to your satellite(s) every time you move would be the fun part.

You could also just configure the DD-WRT router as a "bridge", then wire connect laptop and Solaris, run NOI or IKS4SUN on the laptop and away you go.
