[Nottingham] Process CPU and memory usage?

[Jim Moore]

My real-world-tested* solution:

router 1:    port 1: internet
router 1:    port 2: bridge

router 2:    port 1: internet (wireless client capable)
router 2:    port 2: bridge

I used a Belkin SOHO router (ethernet only) as router 1, which ran the 
DHCP on its own subnet, and a Busybox wireless/G router as #2 which also 
ran on its own DHCP but on a different subnet. Never ever had a 
collision, and between the two routers and one cable and one ADSL 
connection, an always-on net link on both subnets. Don't know what the 
uptime percentage was, but it was pretty high.The important thing the 
two routers had in common was (I think common to most SOHO routers these 
days) was autonegotiating ports.

And for my next trick, I'm running on a Busybox at home, I also have a 
Netgear SOHO wireless/G router. Gonna try same with those. I know the 
Busybox does the trick, dunno about the £40 Netgear.


*tested and as far as I know, still running after three years

cheers,
