July 17, 201510 yr I own a Linksys WRT54G2 V1 router, upon which I installed DD-WRT. My mom loves the Office, and I have every episode on my unRAID server, which has Plex installed on it. At home, this is no problem, its setup on our internal network and she can watch the office just fine. When I go to school, where we are WiFi only, I have no way of connecting my server to the WiFi. Even setting up a network bridge on my laptop and connecting to the server over Ethernet doesn't work, for whatever reason the WiFi won't connect when the bridge exists. So that brings me to my question. My university uses Microsoft PEAP to protect the WiFi network, and I've found a very small amount of information regarding PEAP and DD-WRT network bridges. I messed around as best I could at school, but was wildly unsuccessful. My goal is to connect the router to the wifi and bridge that to the Ethernet ports. Does anyone have any suggestions or somewhere to point me, I'm sort of at a loss here. Unless I get lucky and they've turned the Ethernet ports back on, it seems like I'm out of luck. Or, is there any way to connect my unRAID server via WiFi? Hypothetically, would a USB WiFi dongle connected through a virtual machine allow the server to communicate via WiFi?
