you know that you can hack the current linksys stuffs to unlock the cisco innards and be able to boost the signal as is?

omg link plz

 

[JAXvillain]

Yes, but DD-WRT and Hyper-WRT does all that plus adds more functionality and its free.

ah, missed the free part on the antenna deal

I didn't end up getting much of anything fun..... there's a local store that had half off socks, so I went and bought new socks. That's it

Basic improvements : http://www.hyperwrt.org/
Advanced improvements : http://www.dd-wrt.org/


Can't decide which to go with. DD has SIP serving and routing and that's pretty damn hot. Just wish the current edition wasn't in beta

Firmware replacements for Linksys routers. There's a shit load out there. Most are tracked and discussed at www.linksysinfo.org

woohoo, a plethora of links! Guess I'll be doing a little research today..... I've got a pretty good everywhere in the house, I'd just like to get it a little stronger. I'll try some of this stuff out and if it doesn't work, I guess I'll go for the booster.

I dont trust that new-fangled stuff.
I like my internet signal where I can see it. Inside a cable.

When I wired my house with cat5 , I almost ran a lead to the can.
But then I decided that its a place of solitude, and I didnt want one there.
Plus its hard to type when Im pinching a loaf.

Good point, but in this jerkwater town I live in, I'm not too worried about some punk hacking me. Not saying it couldn't happen, but based on my neighbors, it'll be a long time before it does.

We got my wireless up and working this weekend and I'm definitely enjoying the mobility.

If somebody managed to get a wifi signal from my house, them's in shootin' range

I'm surprised you didn't wire for wireless APs in the ceiling.

forgot to mention about the antenna deal...you will not need it, I can guarantee...we have total saturation in a ~4000 sq ft house and we don't even have it turned up all the way with no extra antenna...turned up all the way it'll probably start microwaving our neighbors leftovers whilst still in the fridge

I frequently lose coverage when someone is using the microwave or the wireless phone. There are also dead spots in the bathrooms and bedroom. This isn't totally surprising as my house seems to be a cell phone dead spot too, although if you go outside, reception is fine.
