U
p for sale are some NICE WRT54G V3 units that has
been flashed with custom firmware.
This firmware replaces the original Linksys firmware
and adds a multitude of extra and powerful features. This unit has
also been loaded with custom configurations, which, as configured,
turns the unit into a powerful universal range expander wireless
repeater.
This
would be a device that you can place anywhere and it will
automatically search for the strongest wireless signal, verify
Internet connectivity, and then repeat that signal wirelessly onto
another network thereby dramatically increasing wireless
coverage.
It will then periodically
scan to be sure it is connected to the strongest open
signal.
It does not need to be connected to a
LAN cable… Simply plug it in within range of any open
wireless signal.
Just to give you some idea as
to how the repeater actually works, basically, the repeater has 2
networks... The "source network" actually connects to an existing
wireless signal, just like your laptop, etc. connects to a wireless
network. The repeater also has a "repeated network"... This
is a separate network that is basically bridged internally from the
"source network" for it's Internet connection.... It's wireless
SSID "repeater" transmits from the repeater, just as if it were a
separate router. In addition to connecting to the repeater's
wireless signal, you can also connect to the "repeated network" via
Ethernet cable from one of the 4 LAN ports on the back of the
repeater.
What makes this WRT54G so attractive for running my custom
configuration is its
16MB Ram
and 4MB flash memory.
The newer WRT54G
routers (after version 4) only have half this amount of memory and
are not ideally suited for this application.
** This
device can also be used as a wireless card for your XBOX 360 or
PS3! **
I set these up with
90Mw power output, which is about 3 times the power of standard
routers or wireless cards, so the range is fantastic. (I use one of
these myself.
It connects to signals that my laptop cannot
even detect!)
Once it is plugged in, all you have to do is
have your laptop (or wireless equipped desktop) look for a wireless
signal called "repeater".
(You can also connect up to 4 computers via ethernet
cable to the ethernet ports on the rear of the unit for computers
that do not have a wireless card.)
In case you want to
repeat a secure signal that requires a password, you would simply
log into the device thru your web browser and make the necessary
changes. I also include written instructions on how to repeat
a secure wireless network, and instructions on how to secure your
repeated signal with a password of your choice.
Also included is the ac power supply.
You
can be assured of prompt and professional service. Not only
are you buying my repeater, but you are also getting prompt and
professional support after the your purchase!
Winning bidder to include $10.00 to cover s/h.
Good luck, and thanks for
looking.
