Well, I set mine up and it works fine. Your home machine (the one you want to tunnel to) needs to be set up with a fixed IP address and you need to port forward port 22 from the ro…
You don't need to connect the wifi ap directly to the cable modem.
Just connect the APBS to a free port on your d-link, and disable nat/dhcp on the APBS. Should work out of the bo…
