Anyone heard of these? They real cheap in NZ compared to equipment such as dlink and netgear.

A while back after they figured that you could run Linux (MIPS) on it there have been alternative firmware popping up which you could load into the router to do a little more or add better features. One such company Sveasoft (http://www.sveasoft.com) makes firmware and another open source project OpenWRT (http://openwrt.ksilebo.net) is dedicated to the task. OpenWRT is something Id consider a bit more advanced since it really gives you an extremely minimal setup to get you up and running and then you pick + choose, only hassle is you have to build/compile the kernel yourself (instead of just uploading a .bin file). These are of course *do at your own risk* modifications that I beleive void your warranty, but it allows you to play around and try cool stuff. Another feature of the Sveasoft firmware is the support for WDS (wireless distribution system) allowing for meshing a bunch together. And it also claims you boost the antenna power x 300% (not sure about 300% but its up there). So for < $60 you get a cheap barebones Linux wireless PC. If you want to compile apps for it, simply download the firmware source from Linux as the tools come w/ it. - Jon On Fri, Jun 11, 2004 at 04:00:13PM -0400, Luis F Brathwaite wrote: > Jon, > Would you expand on what a wrt54g is and it's uses for newbies to > learn. > > Thanks > -- pgp key: http://www.jonbaer.net/jonbaer.asc fingerprint: F438 A47E C45E 8B27 F68C 1F9B 41DB DB8B 9A0C AF47 -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/ -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
