Ozz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Good evening, my name is Rick and I'm quiet bored with my internet ( even if it is free ;P ). I'm wondering if it would be possible to turn my old linksys router into a WLAN repeater. This would be a real project for me since I'm still a "noob" hacker. Thoughts, questions, concerns, and suggestions are welcome and praised! Have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Lets pretend i don't know anything about this program/programs.... What do they do? Also, will they help turn my router into a WLAN repeater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingleBerries Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 srsly? Lets not pretend you dont have a clue about this. If you read the dd-wrt web site it will explain alot. after reading that then ask. thank you come again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well aren't you a bag of sunshine. Also, I've already skimmed through this. I guess it has to do with what the router operates on and replacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it has to do with what the router operates on and replacing it. thats a +2 intelligence there.. no im joking around. DD-WRT and the alike are replacement firmware for routers. Most of them are open source and have TONS more features than the manufactures. If you read the instructions its pretty easy to get it done.. DONT RUSH IT.. after that im pretty sure that ddwrt can make a repeater out of you linksys router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
