I am thinking of building this router. Can anyone tell me whether Smoothwall or Untangle support wireless bridge (whereby my router will connect wirelessly to a primary router and clients can connect wirelessly to my router).

Great idea, to do this with a atom, and the way building the “case” – really cool!

But i think the software choosen, could be bit more advanced. What aboute i debian box with those features, dhcp, iptabels, so on…?

Would be happy to see more, maybe on same platform – part2?

So if I only want the box for a router for general game and web surfer and not to load anything on the box, what is the real advantage of putting this box together? I know you can put apps on it but if I don’t, does it really work better than a store bought box?

Think I need to get off my ass and build something like this one of these days.. Lots of great options out there besides SmoothWall too..

excelent show but like others here would like a parts list for the build specifically the power adapter used. i built one and used pico but havent a clue what to use to power it as he skipped over that bit. but good show.

Does anyone know the specific board that Darren used or a similar one that would be compatible with this project?

This is EXACTLY the kind of stuff we like to see on the show. Ground-up home/office projects are the best. Keep it coming Darren despite not being on the east coast anymore still love and support the show. Love hardware projects like the router, server etc.,
