free range wifi...

Guests went on their way today.  Had a great visit with the boys.  It will take a couple of days to get used to being alone out here.  This morning - IT Neil set me up with a hacked Linksys wireless router to act as a repeater for my wifi enabled DSL modem.  Now I have extended range and it can run off its' own solar charged battery system.  98,104,75,0,B

What operating system did he use on the router? My favorite is DD-WRT, but there are others, such as Tomato. It is crazy what you can do with the WRT-54G once it is hacked.

Just a router on the range. You will be able to stay connected all over the Field Lab. Nice for guests, too. They can get on-line with their smart phones while there.

Glad you had a good visit with the boys. I know y'all had fun.
