gamehead200 Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 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)!
Zxian Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Why did you need a new router? Blind spots in your house?Oh, and you can never have enough wireless!
army20 Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 With all thoses wireless router can you do ROAMING ?
gamehead200 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 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...
sven Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 great, u can confuse hackers in front of your house cuz they dont know which routers your lol
gamehead200 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 great, u can confuse hackers in front of your house cuz they dont know which routers your lolApart from having "soaresroom" as my SSID, yeah, maybe I can confuse them!!
gamehead200 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 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!
matrix0978 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Lol i didnt get the configuration of gameheads.
rendrag Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 what router do you have? and where did you get the 3rd party firmware?
gamehead200 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 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!
sven Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 hes just not smart enough to buy a bigger antenna thats why the config is so complex
