I thought that I would record the configuration files that I used for the Specialized Router here, so that I would have something to reference in the future. The setup here assumes that I have a common SSID that I connect to both at home and at work. At home, I have a separate SSID that I have set up on my primary router and on the WAP that I have downstairs. The channel number is not the same in both places, but the RPi software looks for the SSID and does the connection. At work, I use a DIR-505L router which is set to wifi hotspot mode with the same SSID but is connected to the guest wifi SSID at work. Assuming that hostapd and isc-dhcp-server are installed, the configuration files are as follows:
(1) /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="CairParavelClone"
psk="p19dsndgyxhrh$AM"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
auth_alg=OPEN
}
(2) /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
# Path to dhcpd's config file (default: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf).
DHCPD_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd_test.conf
# Path to dhcpd's PID file (default: /var/run/dhcpd.pid).
DHCPD_PID=/var/run/dhcpd_test.pid
# Additional options to start dhcpd with.
# Don't use options -cf or -pf here; use DHCPD_CONF/ DHCPD_PID instead
#OPTIONS=""
# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
# Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACES="wlan1"

That is about it for right now. Updates to follow when I get the Netgear G54/N150 nano adapters to be more stable.
