Fun with openwrt

I wanted to extend my network at home, with one router by the fibre-node downstairs and one by our desks upstairs. Also, I wanted to tryout DD-WRT. However, since there are two different versions of TP-Link WE1043ND floating around and I happened to get the black v2.1 version that are currently not supported by DD-WRT, I opted for OpenWRT instead.

It was quite scary to flash the new router with the OpenWRT image, but it worked flawlessly and in minutes I had configured it to do my bidding - despite OpenWRT looking seemingly overwhelming with all the choosable bells and whistles.
