Hi, I have Optus cable at home, and have been simply plugging my laptop ( a Compaq Presario V6107AU ) running Fedora7 to the cable modem ( Motorola, forgot the exact model ) to get Internet access.
Can anyone recommend a wireless router that I can use instead so that : 1) The wireless router connects to the cable modem. 2) The wireless router serves DHCP to wireless laptops. 3) Supports VPN passthrough 4) WEP / WPA-PSK / AES encyption 5) Allows a USB 2.0 printer to be connected so that it is shared among laptops ( optional ) ... and of course ... works with linux ? I have been looking at these: LinkSys WRT54GX: http://www.ht.com.au/N/-20+-43+-535/part/R8671/detail.hts LinkSys WRT54G: http://www.ht.com.au/N/-20+-43+-535/part/H9739/detail.hts The second one is cheaper, although it does not have WPA or AES. What do people here with Optus cable use ... and what's your feedback ? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
