I want to set-up a network structured like this: every computer in the lan is connected to a dd-wrt router (either by wifi or by ethernet) and this is connected to my provider's router. Right now, my provider's router is assigning dynamically the IPs to dd-wrt, and this works (because by using a ping on the Administration->commands window I get a response from a remote computer). On the LAN is the dd-wrt the one that runs the DHCP server, and all computers are able to see each other. However, what is driving me nuts is the impossibility to go to internet from the LAN :S.
I have checked the routing tables in my laptop
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 309 0 0 wlp3s0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 309 0 0 wlp3s0
and in the dd-wrt router itself
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 vlan2
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 br0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vlan2
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0
and vlan2 is the interface that gets the IP address 192.168.0.3 from my provider's router.
Does anybody know how can I solve this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I think I have made a little advance. If, instead of setting up the dd-wrt router in router mode (as advised by the help) because there is an additional router (the one given to me by my provider), I set dd-wrt as a gateway, my machines are able to see each other and communicate with the Internet.
However I face a new question now: Is it better to put the LAN (behind the dd-wrt) as a DMZ in my provider's, or is better to set all the services in my provider's NAT AND in dd-wrt, so to have them sent to the proper machine? The maintenances in this last case is doubled, and I do not know if it would give an increased security level.
