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."

    Everyone knows that you're supposed to keep the receipt if you buy something that might break. Stop blaming other people for your problems. Learn to accept responsibility for your actions. Also, learn how to flash a router.
