Sounds like you're happy with how the linksys > hacking went? Any major gotchas? Are you boosting your signal? This must just be the thing for Slim-owners to do this week. I just picked up a WRT54G v1 from my local Freecycle group. The owner said it stoped working, so I picked it up for free. After just a few minutes of testing it turned out it was a bad wall-wart. Amazingly, the power supply from an extra Slimp3 I had was an exact match (voltage, amps and tip size).
I installed the generic DD-WRT v23 SP1 Final (05/30/06) mini and could not be happier with it. The only problem I had was the the router had the original v.1.01 Linksys firmware on it from 2003, and the update to DD-WRT didn't work. I flashed it with the newest Linksys firmware (I think it was 4.something) and then applied the DD-WRT flash without incident. I have to say, I was amazed with all the options that this opened. I also could not resist the urge to boost the signal. I pushed it up to 70 and I now have good coverage of my entire house and most of my yard, something no other router has managed. --Tom Malsbury -- malsbury ------------------------------------------------------------------------ malsbury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25691 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
