Hacking the Linksys WRT54G

Posted by timothy on from the go-forth-and-multiply-them dept.

knightrdr writes "Robert X. Cringely has posted an interesting article on the PBS web site about modifying the Linksys WRT54G wireless G broadband router to build a wireless layer on top of the Internet. He argues that with as little as a $70 investment per node, the Sveasoft WRT54G Firmware could be the first in a line of many wireless devices to enable a giant leap forward for the Internet."

  1. Actually it's being developped! by internet-redstar · · Score: 5, Interesting
    LinSpot for WRT54G will be launched soon.

    This means a WISP in a box for everyone - and LinSpot handles the roaming between all linspots and fills your PayPal account while you sleep (and while others roam).

    I guess it will take the LinSpot crew a couple of weeks to iron the bugs out and release this for your enjoyement.
