A bunch of routers with a WDS network deployment.
A stack of Linksys WRT-54G’s flashed with dd-wrt firmware gets pwn-ed by a Buffalo WHR-HP-54G.
What are they for?
Okay here’s the plan. To set up a WDS network environment and also to establish a point to point connection from building A to building B which is located around 100m +/- . All connections have to be able to access the shared hard disk drive and if possible, all under one SSID .
Here’s a diagram of the 2 points from Google Earth’s view. Had to use it to check out the distance etc before starting the task.
Reng Kwan, George, Scott and I messed around with the routers for more than 5 hours and we managed to set up a WDS network within building A. However, once the router was brought apart(brought to the other building), the Linksys WRT54G routers with DDWRT Firmware could not manage to establish a connection. At that moment, we were pretty much frustrated because after so many hours, we simply couldn’t get a connection. I was much disappointed with the Linksys routers because it was only 100m distance apart with both juiced up to a 100mW of transmitting power, the connection could not work. Placed too much expectations on linksys ddwrts. If they had worked, I would not have to go to the site and configure the stuff again. Argh..
Fortunately, Reng Kwan reminded me to carry along my Buffalo WHR-HP-54G with DD-WRT and I tried to connect it to the network by replacing one of the routers and it worked. Now I would have to get a pair of these routers to replace the somehow weak linksys units to complete the job.
Well, yet another day I couldn’t complete the task. Still have to go to the site one last time. *hopefully*
i still think u shud have went to networking lol
There aren’t any courses catered just for networking.. not in malaysia..
then wat is rk doing?
IT.. it does go into networking but in year 2 or 3 i think? lol. not pure networking..
Why kenot take compsci meh? lols..
i duno..u do all this er…config stuff wif routers..seems more like networking lol
lu mari networking here la lulz
lols.. i also do scripting wad… example would be yltan.com. hahaa..
haha.. yeah lor.. sob wan la.. no networking yet.. learning signal.. damn..
good lar lol signal basic of networking ahha
but da problem is very sienz mar…
wadtodo… if study engineering lagi detail learn about signals lol
i still think u shudve went to business LOL
no wonder la this yltan wan buy my router lols
1 business subject also already giving me headache..
yeah i wanted to get ur buffalo because i accidentally killed one of the linksys routers.
pretty much before rengkwan lend me his linksys..
lols.
lols.
