WRT54GS Router

I got this router as it come highly recommend, but my initial opinion of it is not brilliant, it doesn't even support dhcp reservations....

im thinking of getting rid and getting a different router and just flashing it with dd-wrt

Has anyone else any experience with this router?

Ive got loads of junk haha

Dont get me started on that.

Run oscam off a router? Now im confused....

You have more faith in me than I do... :still_dreaming:

This is making my head hurt, as im not seeing any practical reason for using a router to run oscam.

Ok did some digging into this, and then I got totally lost, I did get a better understanding of OSCam out of it though.

What I was hoping to do was be able to use DHCP Reservation, and setup a vpn of some sort, well two possibly and depending on which device depends on which vpn it uses.

So for example
Widows pc, PS3 could use American based ip
Linux laptop uk, duo stb uk based ip

Any suggestions which firmware I could use as a base, and still stick oscam on top, or am I askng too much... lol

Also how would i connect the omnikeys to the router?

Well I decided to upgrade it to the DD-WRT firmware, but it didn't go so good.

I tried to follow -

Download [vxworks_prep_v03.zip] and extract.
Download [vxworks_killer_g_v06.zip] and extract, OR create a custom firmware image with your MAC address embedded in it. See the 'Changing your MAC address' section below for more information.
Download [DD-WRT micro generic]. You may want to check [ DD-WRT] to make sure there isn't a newer version than v23 SP2 beta 08/03/06. Do not use the one labelled 'WRT54G' or 'WRT54GS', use the 'generic' version.
If you don't know how to use (or don't have) a console mode TFTP tool (i.e. tftp.exe), download the [Linksys TFTP transfer tool].
You will want to assign your network adaptor a manual IP address, since you may loose your automatically configured one and have trouble TFTP'ing the firmware. To do this see the troubleshooting section or google it. It's done at the properties dialog of your network connection, in the 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' properties.
Go to your router's web based interface and enter the 'Administration' tab. Then select 'Firmware Upgrade' and choose the vxworks_prep_v03.bin file. Hit apply. After a minute, your browser window will go blank. At this point, power cycle your router.
Again point your web browser to _http://192.168.1.1. You'll see a different sort of firmware upgrade screen. This is the Management Mode. Select and apply the vxworks_killer_g_v06.bin firmware upgrade. WAIT for your browser window to turn to report 'Success'. Have troubles? Try a different web browser, the http daemon in management mode is very finicky.

The browser said failed, a few times then I couldn't even get the Management Mode page back on.
