Instead it was filled by automagically created Twitter updates. In the meantime lots of things happened: too much to write down here. Instead I’ll focus on my (re-)achievements with IPv6. I had IPv6 enabled a couple of years ago, using a 6to4 tunnel, offered as an experimental service by my ISP XS4ALL, but neglected it after installing a new hard drive. This time around, I choose SixXS for the tunnel broker portion and installed their AICCU-tool on my aging FreeBSD-host. It turned out the so called router advertisement daemon (man 8 rtadvd), needed to propagate IPv6 addresses to our MacBooks and my Linux- / WinXP-host, was able to route between the interfaces /dev/tun0 and /dev/net/fxp0.
And now what?! Fck, the fcking Thing is f*cked - Props go to b10m for pointing me to this one! Just as in the days of VHS, Betamax and V2000 it’s pr0n that matters. Tomato Firmware - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbook. Contents Tomato is a partially free open source Linux-based firmware for several Broadcom-based Wi-Fi routers, including the Linksys WRT54G.
The major emphasis of Tomato is on stability, speed and efficiency. It is maintained by Jonathan Zarate[1], who also developed HyperWRT +tofu. Tomato is notable for its web-based user interface that includes several types of bandwidth usage charts, advanced QoS access restriction features, raised connection limits which enables P2P networking, and support for 125 High Speed Mode (marketed by Linksys as "SpeedBooster"). This wikibook serves as the documentation for the Tomato firmware and its variations, documenting features, installation, configuration and use of the firmware. The following features implemented in the Tomato base firmware over typical OEM firmware and open alternatives such as DD-WRT and OpenWRT: Weblinks[edit] Screenshots Many screenshots of version 1.25 Video Wikipedia References[edit] Universal Wireless Repeater - WRT Wiki.
From DD-WRT Wiki You are here: DD-WRT wiki mainpage / Linking Routers / Universal Wireless Repeater A repeater is just a very normal client which, at the same time, can also be an access point, independent of the SSID and type of encryption used.
THESE ARE NOT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING A REPEATER OR A REPEATER BRIDGE which is the normal way to link routers. These are OUT OF DATE instructions for creating a special UNIVERSAL repeater as explained below, not for linking the routers you own. See the wiki on linking routers if you wish to connect two routers in your home. This How-To provides step-by-step instructions for creating a Universal Wireless Repeater appliance: a device that you can place anywhere and it will wirelessly repeat the strongest signal, onto another wireless network (with or without security).
Architecturally the repeater connects to another wireless router as a client, getting a single IP address via DHCP. For example: [edit] Prerequisites 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. News.
