Isn't this the same type of thing you were recently warning somebody about Dave?

Oh, it is Chris. It'll whoop your stang...
So Chris, I had fun tonight. I wiped the firmware outta my old router, and replaced it with DD-WRT and then turned it into a bridged repeater. My qwest router is downstairs and my desktop in the sunroom barely had a connection. Now with the bridged router it's got a great connection! I like it, and all for the price of $0!!

DD-WRT is pretty cool stuff. I just picked up a Cisco 4200 to function as a VPN appliance at work. I got one method of VPN working, just need to figure out the OpenVPN stuff.
Did you turn up the power for the router too?

Tim?? How fast is the Mustang going right now?
I didn't turn up the power yet. Still playing with some of the settings. Considering loading it on the qwest one too, and then amping them both up.

I'd be more than happy to show you my taillights when the salt is gone. 
Is the Qwest unit a built in modem/router?

Evening everyone!!
I had DD-WRT on a cheapy Buffalo wireless router at my former employer. The idea was to be cheap and use them as a VPN endpoint device for our farms to connect their network to the corporate network. I got it to work, but the next guy that came along would never be able to figure out what I did to make it work. It took ALOT of work.
I had DD-WRT on my home access point before I got a new wireless router from my ISP. If you have the right router/access point hardware, DD-WRT can do some amazing stuff!!
Glad to hear your back is getting better Dave!!
Not much work on the house tonight. Schedule didn't line up right.
Up for tomorrow is to build up the platform on our bed. We don't have a box spring (don't really need one). The base on our new bed set is only about a foot off the ground. I'm planning to build a second platform to raise it up another 7 1/4 inches (2x8). I've got the plans drawn out at work and material list. In my head, it looks pretty good. Let's see if reality holds up as well as what is in my head.
Hope everyone else is doing well!!
