4) Telnet to your router and enter the username of root and your administrative password.  

5a) If this is your second WRT (the VPN client DD-WRT) skip to step 5b.   If this is the VPN server WRT type in openvpn --genkey --secret /jffs/static.key and hit <enter>.  This will generate the static key we will use for our VPN.  (Once the command is complete the WRT will return to the bash prompt.   Now type cat /jffs/static.key and hit <enter>.    Copy and paste the output into notepad or wordpad.  You will need the key information for the next router.  Now you can skip to step 6. 

Below is a static key example.  DO NOT USE THIS KEY YOUR VPN WILL NOT BE SECURE.
