[Bradford] Monday 20th meeting

[Laurence Horrocks-Barlow]

*wrt is the reason most of these routers were spare, however I stopped 
using *wrt based devices for routing about 5 years ago as they used to 
pop/reset/otherwise do funky things. Instead I started bridging the 
connection to IPCOP on a old desktop and now currently pfsense on a 
modified watchguard firebox, I then use dedicated wireless AP's or 
"de-routered" devices with just the AP/switch enabled.
If anyone's adventurous or a bit of a nutty geek it's worth a play.

This is why I have a few ADSL routers kicking about, mainly 
thomson/technicolor iirc but I do believe I have the odd d-link with 
ddwrt and a linksys (If they didn't go with the last clear-out).
