Linux router

Linux router

The linux based router offers a standard private WiFi signal, but then provides a smaller amount of bandwidth for public use that can be shared by fellow users. The router is designed by a company known as Fonera. All router users can share each others' excess bandwidth for free, without monthly charges, and the routers can even be set up to share local and networked files with authenticated users.

This Fenora router measures 3.7 x 1.0 x 4.3 inches (93.5 x 25.5 x 110mm), excluding its detachable 1.5dBi antenna. The router provides 802.11b/g WiFi for up to 54 Mbps, as well as dual Ethernet ports, one for the broadband modem and one for the LAN. The new USB port can connect fellow Fonero users to file or print servers, or can hook up external webcams. Users can also attach a 3G USB modem dongle to take advantage of 3G connections, bridging WiFi and 3G networks. The Fonera router supports WEP 64bit/128 bit, WPA, WPA2 and WPA mixed authentication, and offers automatic security firmware updates.
