No compusa except at state capital
I have been using my neighbors connection for over 2 years now and never had a problem.
well hell ape, no complaints when someone jacks your credit card or SS# off the internet and runs up your card.. i mean, it's not like they're "stealing actual objects".
ats head and laughs ass off:
My parents use a linksys WRT54G router (version 4) and I just brought them up some amplifier antennas to boost the signal but found out that version 4 does not have removable antennas. Fucking Linksys.
Anyways, it's my mom's desktop that is having trouble connecting, it gets on but with a very low signal, teeters between 1mbps and 5 mbps. So I bought a repeater for them and installed it, works great except that it hiccups every few hours and when it does, her PC immediately reverts back to the distant access point (low signal) and stays there. So she has to repair her PC's adapter connection every time she goes back to her computer, and sometimes while she's working on it.
Any advice out there as to how to prevent/fix this? Or why a repeater would hiccup every so often? I've tested it's placement, it get's good signal so it's not losing the connection to the access point.
would I be better off flashing the router to a 3rd party firmware and increasing the signal strength?
the link to google I posted earlier deals with the wrt54g and flashing it to boost signal strength
any side effects for flashing a router in regards to the funcition of a high dollar stand alone VOIP phone? Dad uses one as a business phone to place calls on and through his office network 500 miles away. Should be okay as long as packets are going to and from the device properly right?
Oh, and if I flash it and don't like the results can it be flashed back to Linksys firmware?
Never tried 3rd party stuff before.
eh, i'll give it a shot over christmas. the worst thing that can happen is i make it a brick and have to go buy another router for 50 bucks.
I was thinking about doing the antennas AND flashing the bios, then Ill drive to elpaso and see if I can still log in
What's the advantage of DD-WRT over OpenWRT or something like that?

Just make sure your router is prior to version 4, and that it has removable antennas.
I bought the damn antennas at fry's in atlanta, box said "works with WRT54G"
I took them to charlotte looked at my parent's wrt54g and couldn't figure out how to get the old antennas off, looked online and found out that version 4 and later they decided not to design them with removable antennas. .

My understanding is that when DD-WRT and OpenWRT split, OpenWRT was command line only. I don't know if it still is. Since then, BrianSlayer has made a shitload of advancements with it.
Hmmm, command line keeps the feebs out.
That's different, silly goose. That is stealing money and identity.
