With the Buffalo WHR-G300N flashed with DD-WRT as the main access point, and the Linksys WRT54G flashed with Tomato as the client bridge, the new subnet is operational. Really underwhelming experience, quite frankly. But it’s done.

I’ve decided to configure the Buffalo to replace the Linksys as the main access point for the home network. Once that’s done, assuming it works adequately, I will flash the Linksys with Tomato Firmware and see if that works any better as a client bridge.
It’s not just buying a new television; it’s upgrading everything even remotely TV-related.
Current project: extending the home network because everything now wants access to the Internets.
First strike: Buying the Buffalo WHR-G300N and flashing DD-WRT firmware onto it. The WHR-G300N’s internal antennae are pretty much crap, and the DD-WRT firmware (which is excellent stuff) cannot implement the Client Bridge solution on this particular router, possibly due to hardware limitations.
Thinking I might just run a cable under the house and use a simple wired switch instead.
