If mikrotik could make a functional web gui and a 'quick set up' type feature (dhcp client/server/nat/wifi already set up out of the box), I think they would blow all the other consumer stuff out of the water. e: Nobody can tell me with a straight face that they'd recommend their mom buy a mikrotik.

CuddleChunks posted:I haven't tried webmin (their web configuration tool) in the latest 4.x or 5.x firmwares but the earlier versions were dreadful. Who cares? Winbox takes care of 95% of all configuration tasks and a command line fills in the rest of the gaps. Your guide owns btw. How feasible is this idea: I have a 2wire uverse RG, which doesn't really do bridge mode or even DMZ very well, but forwards ports fine. I also have a wrt-350n that does wifi and acts as a switch. Could I set up a VM on my desktop that's on all the time that runs routerOS and set that up as a VPN server? I don't really know why I have such a boner about this, but I want to encrypt all my iPhone traffic through my home connection. I've tried a few dd-wrt VPN guides and just haven't had much luck with it.

CuddleChunks posted:What OS are you using on your desktop? If it's one of the pro versions (WinXP Pro, Vista Pro, Win7 Pro) then you can just enable the PPTP server that's built into the OS. It's straightforward with the online guides available. I'm using win 7 pro, set up the pptp vpn, opened a port on the 2wire, works great! The only time it doesn't work on my phone is if I'm on the local wifi, which is fine with me. Oddly enough though my win7 laptop does fine using the wan IP from my local network.

Ragingsheep posted:My wireless router is currently behind a double brick wall and another single brick wall since it's at the front of the house while I'm at the back. Because of the way everyone is set up, I'd rather not move it. Yes, or you could get an additional AP and put it on the other side of the wall if that's feasible (hoping that's where the PC is), I think you will have better luck doing that than messing around with a USB dongle on a laptop.

Dongles don't really work very well, I wouldn't recommend doing that. do you have a separate modem where the AP is now?

Newf posted:Hello thread. I've just moved into a new apartment with my girlfriend and we had intended to go without an internet connection for a number of reasons but primarily due to addiction issues of mine. After getting our stuff unpacked we learned that our landlords (we're in a basement apartment) have an unsecured wireless network that they're happy enough for us to use. Meh. It's a convenience for the girlfriend, so that's fine and all, but I want to set something up to restrict my own access. Best way to implement this is to go to a shrink

I just added another ddwrt wireless AP in the attic to my existing ddwrt router which is downstairs. I was having trouble connecting from my bedroom and now it works seamlessly up there. I do have one problem though. I have 3 wansview IP cameras which connect wirelessly, two downstairs and one up in my daughters bedroom. Tonight, I noticed that the camera keeps becoming unresponsive for a minute or two before coming back. I'm assuming that its jumping between the access points and getting confused-- it's not exactly the greatest IP camera in the world. My question is if there's a way to make it 'stick' to one of the APs (the attic one in this case) without changing the ssid of one of the APs
