January 29, 200521 yr OK, well, I decided to go and buy another wireless router today, and I'm glad I did!!Here is my current configuration: | | MODEM/INTERNET |-------------| |-- Dell| Wireless || Router |-- Server| |------------- | | UPLINK PORT |-------------| |-- Main Desktop| Wired |-- Testing Machine| Router |-- Wire to Bed (this was for before I added wireless to my room)| |------------- | | CROSSOVER CABLE |-------------| || Wireless || Router || |-------------What do you guys think?? Too much wireless for you? BTW, that UPLINK PORT has a LONG wire going from my basement to my room (through the walls, of course)!
January 30, 200521 yr Why did you need a new router? Blind spots in your house?Oh, and you can never have enough wireless!
January 30, 200521 yr Author Why did you need a new router? Blind spots in your house?Oh, and you can never have enough wireless!Half my house had a blind spot... BTW, I also bought this router because its the one with the Linux firmware... I flashed it last night with a hacked firmware and now I can do tons of things, like increase the signal strength, telnet into it, etc... I think I can do roaming...

January 31, 200521 yr Author oh well, maybeBut then again, I have MAC Filtering and a 128-bit WEP key.. I also have my antennas pointing into the house and not up straight... So the signal isn't so strong outside!
January 31, 200521 yr Author I'm running a BEFW11S4 (wireless), a BEFSR81 (wired), and a WRT54G (wireless with 3rd party firmware). http://www.linksysinfo.org/ I'm using WiFi-Box... And best of all, its Open-Source!
