Interesting article on lifehacker that talks about upgrading your routers firmware to boost your wireless signal, prioritize what programs get your precious bandwidth (QOS for VOIP), and do lots of other simple or potentially much more complicated things to improve your computing experience.
The firmware is called DD-WRT. From their website:
“DD-WRT is third party firmware for the Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL and various other 802.11g wireless routers based on a similar Broadcom reference design. See Supported Devices. These routers run Linux from the factory, and as such, their source is released under the terms of the GPL.”
I’m currently running an Airlink AR410W Super-G that doesn’t appear in the list of supported devices.
