New WRT54G and WPC54G

This is great. Just setup my wireless LAN. I feel so free.

Have you seen the linux firmware offered for the WRT54G? Allows for a LOT more stuff to be done including traffic shaping.

Check it out here

Get the firmware here:

I use it, and I can honestly say it kicks some serious butt.

Cool!

I'm guessing I can still access everything via Winders?

the only draw back from linksys at this time that the wireless G cards arent yet supported in linux ...

you have to use a wrapper to get the card to work on it at least for the pci version I have....

but surely I love the freedom of moving my system everyplace I want in my home, specially on lan parties...

I have the same setup. Installed it last week.
Works great.

EvilRick: Yeah you still use the web management interface. It is the same thing just with A LOT more options. You also have the ability to telnetl/ssh to the router and do evrything from the CLI as well.

This actually is a natural extension as that Linksys router is already running a linux kernel inside (Linksys published their source as required by the GPL). It was just taken and updated to add more features that people actually want.

I'm giving it a go now.

Hmm, my router doesn't have a floppy drive. I'm gonna have to mash the BITS up into little . . . bits . . . and just cram them down the CAT5 cable. Hope it works!

Hmm, I've got the firmware, but I don't think I can install it yet because mine is "V2". I did see this . . . "New versions of Sveasoft firmware are available on a subscription basis for $20.00 US per year. This will begin with the upcoming "Satori" release. We expect to release four to six versions of firmware..."

did you follow my thread to locking down your network you big man mod you?


wireless is one of the best things to have in a house!

i hook my laptop up to the home theater system we have and use the wireless to stream music.

love it!
