This post discusses how one could use Reaver to make use of a flaw in WPS to recover a WPA password. Tomato and DD-WRT firmwares don’t support WPS so my network is safe. Lesson: buy and use a router that you can flash Tomato or DD-WRT. On another note, WEP passwords could also be compromised… Read more »
I already discussed how one can make use of Google Voice with Asterisk – the possibilities are limitless. However, all this requires a server running Asterisk. I recently explored how one can explore other options of Google Voice (or other VoIP services) without the use of a server. Since I own routers running tomato and… Read more »
In my previous employments, I remember co-workers having to use VPN when they work from home. They can access everything at the company as if they were physically on-site. I haven’t tried configuring it on my home network since if I ever needed anything, I ssh’d into my home NAS, and grabbed stuff from there…. Read more »
I assume you have a compatible router with usb ports with the Teddy Bear mod Tomato firmware installed. These instructions show that the USB NAS portion is quite easy. Once the hard drives are connected, they are automatically mounted in the router’s Linux OS. A computer on the same network can connect to the router’s… Read more »
All my routers at home are either on the Tomato firmware or DD-WRT. I’ve set up wireless bridge many times but keep having to google it up as I keep forgetting the exact steps. I’m going to record it now for my reference. The following is taken from here, the V24 build instructions. Do a… Read more »
Recently I’ve been playing with DD-WRT as my firmware of choice for my main router at home and the one I use as a wireless bridge. I recently purchased an Asus RT-N16 for a variety of reasons: Gigabit ethernet, DD-WRT, 2 usb ports (for NAS and printers), Wireless N, and Great with bittorrent. Reason 1… Read more »
My Trendnet 652BRP primary router (DD-WRT) with a Linksys WRT160Nv3 (DD-WRT) as a wireless bridge did not work too well (setup here). Sometimes my laptop disconnects to the wireless network and I have to unplug/re-plug the primary router to be able to reconnect. This occurs fairly often (2x a week?). I don’t know what the… Read more »
I recently bought a refurbished linksys wrt160n-rm from amazon for $31. I ordered it before getting DD-WRT working on my trendnet router. I didn’t want to hassle with returning it, so I decided to turn it into a wireless bridge, something I wanted to do for a while. With the refurbished router, I had to… Read more »
So I own a relatively inexpensive trendnet router (on sale ~ $25) for a while now, and I’ve been trying to get DD-WRT working with it since having it. This site says it is supported, but I couldn’t find a firmware available until now. This post (page 16) has a link to this site that… Read more »
