It loaded all the settings I had with the stock firmware including password. Awesome. I went with Tomato because I wanted wake-on-LAN capability and the stock Linksys firmware does not let you send the magic packet. I have an ethernet bridge using OpenWRT installed on a Fon Fonera connected to it, thanks to Zach demonstrating the device way back when.<br></div><div style="font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> "dennisjperkins@comcast.net" <dennisjperkins@comcast.net><br><b><span style="font-weight:

She uses her neighbor's wireless<br>to get on the internet, with permission thankfully. The connection is near<br>the limit for her nearly G wireless laptop.<br><br>So she needs a wireless repeater. My first impulse is a Linksys dd-wrt<br>flashed router in a repeater mode. Not a problem.<br><br>But before I ship it, I'd thought I ask around for comments. Different<br>hardware is a possibility but I'd like something that
could be reconfigured<br>back to a standard router later on.<br><br>Different software is a possibility too. I'm not set on dd-wrt, it's just<br>the first thing that jumps to mind.<br><br>Oh and remote support is high on the list. My mom is not that technical.<br>She's learning but anything more complicated than programming her vcr and<br>she's lost.<br><br>thanks!<br>Mike<br>_______________________________________________<br>clue-tech mailing list<br>clue-tech@cluedenver.org<br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech">http://www.cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech</a></span><br></div></div></div>
