thank you for this reply. I was not aware that DDWRT weakened the wireless security of WPA2.

Nevertheless, I disabled the wireless security and enabled the hotspot in the services tab. I also enabled the wireless to separate from the LAN. This resulted in showing the SSID as the hotspot in the basic wireless settings.

Do I keep the network configuration BRIDGED, or unbridged?

I currently have it Bridged in AP mode.

If unbridged, what IP address would I use and what boxes do I enable?

I tried connecting to the the unsecured wireless network, but it is connecting with limited or no connectivity.

What do I need to do to get this working?
