Linksys Neighborhood Hotspot (dd-wrt)

A Linksys WRT54G becomes a neighborhood hotspot with some thermal paste, a spool of wire, and the help of Abe Lincoln.

Very nice, but I recommend ordering a cheap set of fsb copper heat sinks from newegg for about $4.99us instead of the pennys but very creative. Also what kinda range are you getting?

[annahegedusdotcom]

@wifimonkey It easily covers my entire house and then some. I was able to go to the end of the block and still get about two bars of signal, so I'm imagining I could irradiate my own crops with it if I wanted to :)

Nice. However increasing the output power of the WRT54G will compromise throughput, due to the crappy WRT54G amplifier.

First off, I am glad to know that im not the only one that has modded my router with a fan and heatsink (but i used a real small heatsink i took off of a chip on an old motherboard). I have the same router as my main router (WRT54G running DD-WRT). This is really neat! Keep modding!!!
