I bought a cheap wireless router recently. It's configured via the built-in http server so it had to be Linux-compatible, right? Wrong. Maybe it works on IE but not Mozilla & friends. Or maybe it doesn't even work with IE, who knows. Bottom line is that not all the configuration pages work right. I can't even turn on the WEP auth or edit the MAC filter table. The date and time reset with every power interruption. I'd tell you the brand name but there isn't one :)
So... does anyone have a recommendation for a router that they've been having good luck with (with Linux)? I need a four-port LAN. Don't need 802.11g (just b) and don't actually have a WAN connection right now, it's just an internal network. Might get broadband later. Long story. Regarding the security ... assuming that anyone can access this router, is this really any worse than having a box on a static IP on the internet? I do everything with ssh and have the appropriate access controls, "I think". thanks as always... Judah
