Hi to all!

I have been tasked with building wifi hotspots for a restaurant and of course on a budget. I have flashed dd-wrt in a linksys ashtray router and successfully had it running as a client bridge. I have read an article on the main site as to set up No Cat Splash using a fedora box as the web server. I do not have DNS on the internal web server so I put in it's address.

Questions:
1) does it have to listen on port 5280 or can I just have it on port 80?
2) the article mentioned uploading the splash.html to the router but I see no where to do this. Is it possible?
3) is a Netgear WRN3500L good for this application?
4) can I use four routers in this fashion get my needed coverage?
5) does the "redirect" radio button in dd-wrt have to be enabled?

The router is a wrt310N V1 and the firmware is dd-wrt.24_std_generic.bin

Thanks for any input! David
