I will have to get with my tech savvy son who will check this out. I have the Lynxsis router you speak of. Will this work with the Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper Lite unit?

I'm not sure I use an Apex but I believe you'll need a net module.

Hi,
I configured my Linksys and it is updated with dd-wrt.
My question is, I assume I can use it as repeater as well and use the ports too. Is that possible?

Put my ACIII in one of the ports, get wifi signal from one antenna and put signal out with the other antenna as repeater or access point. Is that possible?

Thanks !

If it's a dual band router you should be able to do it.

Everyone keeps talking about router address being 192.168.1.1 My old router was that. My wireless router is now from my cable company and has a home address of 10.0.0.1
Should I use this address where your instructions are stating 192.168.1.1?
Not real computer savvy.
Thanks

Everything was goin good till i got to 2-12. Router was rebootin and during the reboot it it said something about renewing a lease so I clicked continue and idk what happened. Not sure if it's bricked now or not. If I type in 192.168.1.2 or with the one I get nothing.

When I get to 2-12 my router reboots and displays " if u changed your routers up you must renew your clients address on the network."

I have no idea what this means lol
