Marek, Thanks for the added info in the LinkSys wrt54gl. It just happened that I had one of these units not being used at home, and I noticed that the AC/DC power supply allowed for direct 12V DC powering. I cut off the brick and used the remaining cord to provide the DC power. It has been working fine for many months.
I just search on the open firmware feature you mention, and wow, I am impressed at what is available. - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Oct 29, 2015, at 8:45 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 23:02:34 -0400 > From: Marek Dziedzic <dziedzi...@hotmail.com <mailto:dziedzi...@hotmail.com>> > To: <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Re: Stus-List Signal K interface > Message-ID: <blu184-ds164e1b6e5d62ffc3f14c4bce...@phx.gbl > <mailto:blu184-ds164e1b6e5d62ffc3f14c4bce...@phx.gbl>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Some older ones might be better.
