Connecting LinkSys WRT54G using WDS and make a kid happy.
Sat, Mar 12th 2011 7:20p Kenio Carvalho Today I solved a problem with my wireless home network. My kid have a PS3 and wants to play online.

The problem was that WRT54G doesn't have support to WDS. To solve this problem go and change the bios of the WRT54G from the LinkSys to DD-WRT http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index.
