Comment:
Remove reference to configure-edu-gateway and link to instructions for debian-edu-router-config

  
  The router should not run a DHCP server, it can run a DNS server, though this is not needed and will not be used.
  
+ In case you do not already have a router or your existing router cannot be set up accordingly, any machine which fulfills the requirements for a minimal Debian installation and which has at least two network interfaces can be turned into a gateway between the existing network and the DebianEdu one. See [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Bookworm/Installation#Installing_a_gateway_using_debian-edu-router|installation documentation]] for a simple way to install and set up a Debian machine using `debian-edu-router-config`. 
- In case you already have a router but are unable to configure it as needed (eg because you are not allowed to do so, or for technical reasons), an older computer with two network interfaces can be turned into a gateway between the existing network and the Debian Edu one.
- 
- A simple way is to install Debian Edu on this computer; select 'Minimal' as profile during installation.
- 
- After installation, run {{{/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/configure-edu-gateway --firewall <yes|no>}}} which will make the following changes:
- 
-  * Adjust the /etc/network/interfaces file.
-  * Change the hostname permanently to 'gateway'.
-  * Remove superfluous scripts.
-  * Enable IP forwarding and NAT for the 10.0.0.0/8 network.
-  * Install a firewall (optionally).
  
  If you need something for an embedded router or accesspoint we recommend using [[https://openwrt.org|OpenWRT]], though of course you can also use the original firmware. Using the original firmware is easier; using OpenWRT gives you more choices and control. Check the OpenWRT webpages for a list of [[https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start|supported hardware]].
