Maybe an old topic but I can't find a clear answer on this and other forms:

I have an WRT160NL (with USB port) which I plan to use with a usb webcam, goal is to put the webcam in a birdhouse.

Which version (openwt / ddwrt / etc) can be used to achive this ? I found many articles about it but cannot find the right one.
I have several types of USB webcams  I can try, this should not be the problem, main problem for me is to find a good starting point to build it all. I don't need all the extras but only access to my webcam, preferrable streaming but if not, static pages are ok.

Any hints/tips appreciated !

MBS,

I tried to find out which version I need from http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/atheros/ but cannot differentiate one from another. Where can I find the differences between them ?

Cause it is the wrong directory. Reading the wiki says where to get 10.03 and which file: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt … eady.build
It's up to you to read even a bit further and figure out if you better get RC5 or trunk. It's all in the wiki.

Finally I was able to get everything running, I'm connected through a static eth0 lan connection.
However my goal is to use it as a 'client' connecting to my AP, I don't need to use the LAN connection for other devices.

What do I need to change to have the wrt160nl connecting to my AP ?
Preferable using the web gui, ts there a step by step example ?
