More on Linksys WRT54GL

At least some comment about my Linksys WRT54GL router

• "Usually, home routers have very limited options when it comes to controlling bandwidth by using QoS. It usually involves something like checking an option to prioritize games, and that's it. However, you can buy a cheap ($60) router and turn it into a powerful device that can perform nearly all functions of expensive, commercial routers. I'll take WRT54GL model from Linksys as an example, since I'm most familiar with it, but there really are more options to choose (like several cheaper ASUS models). For the sake of simplicity, I'll keep to this model, since it's really a great choice.

• After buying your cheap router, how do you turn it into something much more powerful? That's pretty simple really, you have to 'flash' the firmware, that is, install a third party firmware package onto the router. It may sound complicated, but it merely involves uploading the package using a very simple web interface - just like you would upload a picture to ImageShack, for instance. You will be able to use many advanced features then, such as unlimited port forwarding, very good QoS control, custom firewall scripts and so on (features will differ between different firmware projects)."

My Notebook (II)

As mention earlier. My keyboard not working. I bought USB keyboard to fix it



The idea is ......... COST SAVING

My Router

Here where I put the router. On the wall. Or what we call wall mounted equipment.

D-I-Y Home Networking

I decide to buy a router. Wireless ADSL router. I bought Linksys WRT54GL, with 4-port RJ45 and WLAN. This router has basic web filtering and basic firewall. It's allow me to block access up to 4 site.
Now, I have wi-fi at my home, which I can offer to my neighbour. On second thought, I should use to my home only.

All this devices, modem and router, I placed it and mount at one place, specifically up stair.

Now, I need to run UTP Cat-5e from there to living room. At least 1 port. This is for backup purpose in case I have problem with WLAN.

My Broadband

I need an internet connection to my home. Which provider should I apply. But, well... at Malaysia, Streamyx is the only ISP choice I have. Now I've installed broadband at my home as I mentioned earliear.


No the choice is should I used only ADSL modem only, or should I install router. But if I use ADSL modem only connection, only one connection at same time. There some various router in my mind.

Oh.... before I forget, my subscription is include free ADSL modem. Which mean, if something wrong with my ADSL modem, I can return to my ISP. It's good haa...

My Notebook

Look at my notebook. Fujitsu Lifebook S6210. I own this since 2004.

My keyboard not function anymore. But still steady.

Home Network

I have my home networking for my use at home. I'm using TM Streamyx with only 512Kbps. Not bad for me. Some people might think that this speed is slow. Here my test result using speedtest.net


For me, it's ok. It's for my access to offce network and also for some other stuff. No streaming or big downloading size.
