What specfic model and version did you purchase? Are you going to install OpenWRT on it?
Read this on installing OpenWRT.
Nexx WT3020
I'm assuming the local LAN goes in the WAN port and the Omni connects to the LAN port on the router?
yes
You can be very flexible with the IPs. I left the WAN side IP as the old Omni IP so that I did not have to reconfigure Omnitouch IP's, CCTV, Omni Plugin and other stuff pointing to the Omni.
what about the NAT & DHCP settings of the mini router?
Yeah disable DHCP on the LAN side. Disable wireless (uses less power).
It is up to you how you want your WAN side to be. I configured it here with a static IP address on the WAN to be part of the main LAN.
So here I made the new WAN IP the same as the old Omni Pro ethernet IP and changed the OmniPro IP to a new IP that matches the new LAN side of the router.
I port forward 80, 22 and 4369. Note: this was for OpenWRT and PCA access and SSH access.
For OpenWRT you can update or add plugins via the web interface or command line interface.
I left the LAN side IP and subnet as default and shut off DHCP
192.168.1.1, 255.255.255.0, gateway at 192.168.1.1
Changed the Omni IP to 192.168.1.2
All IPV6 is off on LAN/WAN sides.
Note that this device has now been up over a year and doing fine.
