We can put our spare device to work as a repeater, which can act as a range-extender for a new section of your house or yard.

If you have your old one lying around, why not throw DD-WRT on it? I had a spare Linksys wireless access point, but after putting alternate firmware on it, I had a full-blown router on my hands. We now have a firt firmware build available The firmware images can then be obtained via the Router Database. Most of us have upgraded our networks with new routers over the years. Support for the new Linksys WRT3200ACM Update: FW avail OctoLinksys provided the technical information and code to implement support for their new WRT3200ACM in DD-WRT. Turning this setting on should keep the two from interfering too badly with one another. If you use bluetooth a lot, then you may have noticed a drop in reliability or speed with both wireless and bluetooth devices. B-only devices won’t see any problems and N-based devices shouldn’t be negatively affected, either.įinally, we get to Bluetooth Coexistence Mode. Things may slow down if they don’t support it, though, so be sure to do your homework. If your wireless router and adapters support Afterburner – also known as SpeedBooster, SuperSpeed, Turbo G, and G Plus (but not Super-G) – you can enable this to get a boost. It’s been that way for a few weeks and I haven’t had a problem yet, but your mileage may vary. I don’t have to worry about that since my “server area” is cold and I’m also a bit reckless, so I kicked mine up to 150. Pushing it higher can cause excessive heat which can damage your router. Most people report that jumping up to a 100 is safe. The default is a safe value of 70, but we can kick it up a bit. This is the broadcasting power of your transmitting antenna. There are three settings of interest, the first being TX Power.
