Creating A Super-Router (For Free)

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-own-the-hardware-that-is dept.

Aaron writes "Kind of an interesting discussion and story over at Broadband Reports about the flurry of vendors releasing modified Linux based firmware updates for the Linksys WRT54G router. The updates bring a whole new level of functionality Linksys couldn't be bothered to incorporate. Among a long list of free improvements is the incorporation of bandwidth management, allowing users to end the days of choppy VoIP conversations without swapping out hardware."

  5. A feature I'd like to see added to my router... by ThogScully · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    While my router will update normal DynDNS addresses, it can't update Custom DNS, so my own domain name I have to update from a machine instide my network. I'd rather the router take care of that.

    Regardless, my router's a Netgear, so I'm guessing this isn't really applicable here. Although it would be nice to see similar projects for other routers, if possible.

    Listen you, there is nothing *wrong* with sucking cock. *Cock* is good. A large part of my diet comes from *cock*, and quite frankly, sucking *cock* is easyer than eating pussy, and the feedback is 100% better. So I say to all you cute guys, shave your pubes and get some *cock* action.
