Before getting started, there's a few basic requirements you must meet. First, you'll need a computer that has at least 2 Network Interface Cards (NICs) in it. Next, you'll need the configuration settings for your internet connection (may include things like IP/DNS/Gateway/username/password). You optionally need a wifi card which supports master mode. It is recommended to avoid NICs with a bypass feature as some of them require proprietary drivers. If you don't have access to that driver, the card will remain in bypass mode permanently and will not be usable. Finally, you'll need a bit of spare time and some Gentoo loving in order to succesfully follow this guide and implement a well functioning home router.
