Turbocharge Your Linksys WRT54G Access Point router

This is the most fun I've had in weeks -- computer-wise, that is. With a free download, you can update the Linux-based operating system of the ubiquitous Linksys WRT54G wireless access point (WAP) and become a superuser at the root level. Very cool. Tweak your power and antenna settings. Run admin using a secure shell. Download the source code for the router as an educational tool.

Highly recommended.

Caveat: Be sure to have your user manual so that you can get back to factory settings if you really mess up. You also ought to have a copy of the latest Linksys firmware available.
