Change Operating Mode to ‘Router’ (Setup->Advanced Routing->Operating Mode: Router).Disable DHCP Server (Setup->Basic Setup->DHCP Server: Disable).Assign WAN port to Switch (Setup->Basic Setup->Assign WAN Port to Switch: Check – Optional, but I like to do this to gain the extra port).Change the Router Name (Setup->Basic Setup->Router Name: – this is helpful later).

Disable the WAN connection (Setup->Basic Setup->WAN Connection Type: Disabled).The built in DHCP server will work for now. Connect to the ‘dd-wrt’ device, then connect to the router through a web browser ().First do a ‘hard reset’ (look up 30/30/30 on the DD-WRT site).These are basic instructions and may not take in to account specific environmental needs. Regardless of the hardware, the instructions should work on the same DD-WRT version. No matter where the device is plugged in, it will pull an address and allow remote management.įor the purposes of this discussion, we are using a Cisco LinkSYS E2000 with DD-WRT version v24-SP2. We have also used the technique to ‘standardize’ the interfaces of dissimilar hardware.) The topic has been discussed elsewhere and those discussions usually finish with ‘Why would you want to do that’? In our environment, we need the device to be a DHCP client because of our highly sub-netted network. The basic purpose is to enhance the capabilities of that hardware – make it do something it may not normally be able to do. (For those that don’t know, DD-WRT is an operating system that can be put on many popular over the counter routers to replace the default OS. This ‘HowTo’ describes how to to set up DD-WRT to be a stand alone access point and use DHCP to get it’s LAN address.
