[GRLUG] Wireless question

[Joseph McLaughlin]

a router like  Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS with dd-wrt on it?

 There is still a bug in the program must use RAID!

 I would not go down to encryption that weak. If the device isn't     capable of 
encryption that can withstand a basic script-kiddie     attack then it's not 
worth using. All is not necessarily lost,     though. Look into custom firmware 
if the device has enough memory     and such to handle it. OpenWRT is the 
original Linux distribution     for embedded broadband routers, but in my 
experience it can be     cranky. I've heard good things about dd-wrt, and I 
personally have     used Tomato flawlessly for several years. 


Having reread your question, Something like Tomato would not be the     best 
choice as it is intended as routers, not media servers. I'll     bet somebody 
makes a custom firmware for media servers. Maybe look     around at OpenStora, 
which is for NAS box media servers like the     Netgear Stora.
