[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 910553, member: 8287"] I would have to bone up on the dd-wrt firmware a bit but I know what you are trying to do. Let me run this by you real fast to be sure I understand exactly what you want. You have the DSL Modem. How is your iMac connecting to the DSL Modem? Wired correct? If so then you have to set up OSX Internet Sharing. The Airport adapter in the Mac would be set up in AdHoc mode like CWA mentioned. It would send out a WiFi signal like an Access point. Your Linksys then would receive that signal and send it Via Cat-5 to the TV/DVD/ whatever. Is that what you are trying to do? I can help easily with the OSX end and will read up on the dd-wrt firmware. I have a few Linksys WRT54G's, 2 Version 2's and a GL even. I had the dd-wrt installed at one point but wanted the Linksys back stock for a reason. Let us know if we are understanding you correctly. The main thing I need to know is how the iMac is connected to the DSL Modem. [/QUOTE]
