Okay, but like I mentioned before, it still doesn't solve the problem of being unable to use anything stronger than WEP on my wireless card. The FiOS router I have works fine for what it does, and I get good reception in both the house and the shop. I only "rent" the router, so I'd presume Verizo

Okay, but that really still doesn't solve the WAP/2 problem I'm having with the wireless card. I'd really much prefer using WAP than WEP. Mark On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 11:31 AM, Kerry Lynn wrote: > > > Yabut... How well do those routers play with FIOS? > > You must retain the router that Ver

> Yabut... How well do those routers play with FIOS? You must retain the router that Verizon gave you as the CE (Customer Edge) device, otherwise you can't stream on demand video and the like. However, you can disable its wireless port and install a WRT54G (about half the cost of an RPi on eBay)

That's not a bad idea. Copper from the machine to the bridge, and wireless from the bridge to the router. I'll poke around for one of them too. Thanks Eric. Mark On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 9:33 AM, Eric Keller wrote: > On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 8:21 AM, Mark Wendt wrote: > > Well, I'm in the ma

Well, I'm in the market for a new wireless card or USB wireless. My old Netgear WG111v3 worked great on my old DSL router which used WEP. We recently upgraded to FIOS, and it uses WPA/2. Unfortunately, under Ubuntu 10.04 and ndiswrappers, it does not work at all with any kind of WPA. Many fruit
