| Wooo.
999 Euros = 1,342.0566 U.S. dollars act:google.
Maybe this could be done cheaper with 6 modified WRT54GL's and....
...what?
I could use 6 nic's in a Server2003 box but MS won't bond them. What would bridging them do? Nothing good I bet. Server 2003 has a hard enough time routing from multiple gateways.
Who's smarter than I am about this? Is there anything in the MS world that would bond multiple connections?
Shine your brilliance here you crazy diamond.

The guys who made this live in Amsterdam. I wonder what the legal status of all this is over there? In the article they mention it is a bit touchy but don't elaborate.

Re: interesting
I visit Amsterdam a lot on business, and the city has more hotspots than you can imagine. This box would be a leacher's dream.
Still, this has to illegal as hell in most countries as it constitutes unauthorized "theft of service", especially if they are going to deliberately try and hack less secure WEP access points. |

| RB532...
The RB532 bus from what I have always been told would not support all those radios, but the RB564 was still invented and worked well for a few radios. My guess is that they are using the RB532r5 boards in the final product, but the picture does show the standard RB532 (w/out speaker on board). The r5 does have the 400MHz processor, still comes with 32 (RB532r5) or 64 (RB532Ar5) megs of memory, and they said the power bus was improved tremendously. It's still got the ability to move some data through it -- using 2 RB532r5 boards I am pushing near 90mbps of traffic (half duplex, still using RouterOS on it and NStreme2, 8.6 miles, and XR5 radios) and it's stable as could be.
I still just haven't done a Linux load on it yet to see if I could get anything more out of it, but RouterOS sure is stable. |

Who says this has to be considered stealing?
ISP agreements aside, just enter into a co-op agreement with your neighbors and share the keys to your private networks with the understanding that you are aggregating your bandwidth for the common good of each other. |

I don't know RouterOS at all. Will it run on anything that takes a *nix kernel?

Re: interesting
the wep thing makes it shaky on the legal side, auto locking onto wireless networks is hard to make illegal. my laptop if left turned on will find and access an unsecure WIFI link if it sees it because that is what windows does if it cant find any of my default networks.

| DD-WRT Linkys and cantenas work great...
I have been slurping my neighbors internet connection for 2 years now useing the same 3 routers and cantennas. They were'nt too expensive but the money has paid off hansomely in free access and Safe Anonomous movie DLing. The routers never change but I have to periodically adjust the 3 cantena positions to maintain good speeds. One antenna on an expensive router will never be as good so its just a waste of money. I finally hit the 12,000 movie file mark and almost as many TV show eposides, so clearly anonimity from **aa lawsuits is my biggest wireless benefit. Long live Wifi...  |

Re: Wooo.
1342 US dollars could get you about 2.5 years of broadband legally from cable (6-8Mbps) or fiber (15-20Mbps). In that 2.5 years, some or all of your neighbors could leave, cancel service, or upgrade to equipment that can't be broken in to. Then you have an expensive paperweight. I'm sure it would be useful to a select number in select locations, but it would be much more attractive if it were, say, a quarter of the cost. |

Re: RB532...
The RB532 can run any MIPS-compiled Linux and at routerboard.com they even have the CF card image for you to load to have basic Debian linux. RouterOS is just great because it does everything from wireless AP/client setups to long-range wireless bridges, then it does standard router stuff (think Linksys routers), and then it also does VPN, IPSec VPN, MPLS-type applications, bandwidth management, hotspot systems, BGP/OSPF/RIP routing, and really everything else you can imagine (except CALEA, coming VERY soon!) in a little package. Obviously you can't accept full BGP routes on a little box with 32-64 megs of memory, but RouterOS also does run on x86 architecture too, and it has lots of interface bonding features as well. I just don't do all the "1337 h4x0r" stuff that I did back in the days, I just like the product since it works. At the same time, I have a router running BGP at the head-end of my network announcing its routes, handling 4 carriers, and has enough memory and processor room to do plenty more, but I'm not pushing it that heavily. They make great routers for redundant failover because on Ethernet alone they can handle a very good amount of traffic. Even on an all wired network if you haven't looked at RouterOS to replace some older Cisco gear you have to because it's stable and fully functional. I just wish they had more interface options available but then again it seems like everybody is moving to Ethernet. (Multichannel DS3, anybody? ) |
