I have multiple devices such as Xbox and Tivo that need network access. Buying an individual wireless game adapter for them is not an option and costly. I have a spare Linksys WRT54G wireless broadband router laying around and want to make the most of it. I scoured the Intetnet and found a hacked firmware that turns the router into a four port wireless Ethernet bridge. The site http://www.dd-wrt.com. A very good step by step setup here. But you could download dd-wrt v23 below. This zip file includes the bin file for different WRT54G model out there. The setup was very simple. This is what I did.

1. It is best to reset the config back to factory default by holding down the reset button in the back. Access the WRT54G console with a web browser at 192.168.1.1 admin/admin and go to Upgrade Firmware.
2. Select browse and choose the bin file for your WRT54G model and click upgrade firmware.
3. After the router is rebooted, access the admin console and click on Basic Setting.
4. Choose Client Bridged Wireless Mode. For Wireless Network Mode you could use Mixed, B or G-Only.
5. Enter the SSID of the AP that the WRT54G will be connected to. Remember, the WRT54G is no longer an access point. It is a client to your existing access point.
6. That it. The rest if just basic router settings that you should already know.

If you happen to be in San Francisco, stop by the new Beard Papa Sweets Cafe. It is located across the YB Garden off of Mission. The line gets pretty long.

Watch this video and you will know why the Chinese Communist government can not be forgiven for what they did to their own people on June 4th, 1989.

I don't think so. Apparently it was a misprint Fry's Electronic ads. I'd pick one up in a heartbeat at that price.

Not in my garage of course. The last time I drove a brand new Porsche into the garage was back in August 1998. The Cayman is like between a Boxster S and 911. It has the mid engine placement of the Boxster which makes it one of the best cars to take on the winding moutain road. If I had $70K to waste, then I'll think about it but another two seater is not for me anymore.
