[Grogan]

"If you are anything like me, you have probably been through your fair share of wireless routers. You may even have a collection of them growing in your storage room, if you haven't gotten around to selling them on the second hand market yet. In this guide you will learn how to make very good use of an old wireless router which is otherwise sitting around doing nothing. You will learn how to turn it into a DIY wireless access point and save money in the process by not having to go out and buy a brand new wireless access point or wireless range extender, which will set you back $100 USD or more."

Still on my first WAP... Nice little Wireless-G model from Linksys... 4yrs old now and still kickin...

Don't know what that story is talking about "collection of gear"
Drive it till it drops... Then go out and get new one...

My Linksys WRT54G really is sitting around doing nothing. It turned into a doorstop recently.

Pressing the reset button doesn't do squat. The power LED doesn't light, but the 4 port LEDs are all on, even though only one port was connected to anything.
