This example uses DD-WRT firmware which is available for both WRT54G and WHR-G125. Connect the two routers with a LAN cable and connect your computer to the second router with another LAN cable. You can also set up the router while connecting wirelessly but it is a bit more difficult. Unless you have just uploaded the firmware start clean by resetting to factory defaults. The factory reset is under "Administration" tab.

It is very helpful to change the GUI colors on one of the routers so you can always know which control panel you are logged into. You will find the color control settings under "Administration" tab as well [Fig. 3].

Change the user name and password and take a note of them for later use [Fig. 4]. The default DD-WRT user name is "root" and password is "admin"
