WDS multiple router setup

Verified with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/30/09) build 12424 --Macgyver 22:57, 03 July 2009 (CEST)
This is a 3 router WDS setup using WRT350N and 2 WRT54G, with the 1st WRT54G connecting to the WRT350N, and the 2nd WRT54G connecting to the 1st WRT54G. I have also tested with WRT600N, WRT310N, WRT300N and WRT54GS, so any broadcom-based device should work with these settings
