So I've moved to my new apartment in a cooler part of Los Angeles (no more 100+ in the summer), and Time Warner wasn't able to install cable yet due to bad wiring. In the meantime a very helpful neighbor has allowed me to leach off their wifi for some general net access. That's fine for my laptop, but posed a problem for my MythTV boxes which need to pull program guides for the OTA HD recording. The answer to this problem was to convert my Linksys WRT45GS from running the standard firmware to OpenWRT. Next, I wanted to keep my current wireless settings and use my Linksys as the entire entry point for my apartment. The solution can be found here :

OpenWRT seems great so far, I should have done this a long time ago.
