Flashing om1p with stock openwrt

It was a painful process but well worth it. Now I have nice little OpenWRT units for any hacking pleasure. I have made…

In this scenario we will be implementing a openWRT as a wireless access point only. One wireless essid will be LAN accessible and the other will be segregated from the LAN but able to access the WAN. The openWRT in this example will not be the gateway to the network. Another device is the gateway…

OpenWRT, firewall to block public wireless users from private lan behind wan
The updated and more flexible way to do this is outlined here. It also requires updated hardware. The wrt54gl only supports openwrt v10 (backfire). I would like to add that despite the wrt54gl literally being ancient, its still a rock solid device today. Of course, only if openwrt is installed! A while ago Second Street…
