Supercharging Your Linksys Wireless Access Point
kwishot writes "Xam over at www.wi2600.org has documented a relatively simple way to 'turn up the juice' on your Linksys WAP11 Wireless Access Point." Caveats: the outlined method requires a Windows box, recent firmware, and (some) bravery, but no going inside the box or special hardware.
The real trick is to get your neighbor to turn up his power so you don't have to buy your own...
...whether hacks like this are just plants by the parent companies sometimes.
"So you tried to up the radio signal of your WAP11 by hacking it to boost the radio signal, and now it won't work? (Hey Bob, we got another one!) What, oh that was nothing sir. Sir, I'm sorry to say your warranty is void. But we do have a sale on the upgraded model right now..."
It hurts when I pee.
>Essentially what I'm saying is, you turn up the power on this thing, you don't wanna wear it as a hat. Not that you wanted to do it before, but now you *really* don't want to.
I can see it now. Admin puts a tweaked WAP11 on his desk and his coffee starts boiling in the cup.
...and my Pringles can burst into flames.
How many of these will I need to replace my microwave?
Remember, there were no nuclear weapons before women were allowed to vote.
