Here is my situation: I work with a Makerspace and we frequently do workshops at our local library. We are planning to do some IOT workshops using arduinos with ethernet shields.

We have arduinos, ethernet shields, and a pair of WRT54G2 V1 routers on which we have installed dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin.

In order to connect the arduinos to the Internet, we would like to use the routers to connect to the library's wifi and then connect the arduinos via wired-ethernet to the routers.

There appear to be three means for achieving this goal: Client Mode, Client Bridged Mode, and Repeater Bridged Mode.

What are the pros and cons of each of these strategies, and which do you think would be easiest for our arduinos (and therefore our patrons) to navigate?
