OT:Your crusty old Linksys Router for my Brand New One

[iriejp1]

Ok...let me try this again. I've got a brand new N Ultra Range Plus wireless broadband router that I am looking to trade for an older one.

Reason being...I bought this thing thinking I would use it as a bridge for my aquacontroller (shoulda just bought a bridge!) only to find out it won't do bridging. It does everything else...but there is no hack out there yet for this model as it's too new. However for someone who is simply using their wireless router as a wireless router (novel idea I know) this would be an upgrade for you for free.

Here's the info on it:

PM me your model number if interested as I need to make sure there's a hack out there for it.

I just use the wireless gaming adapters from Fry's
We use them all the time in offices, Like I just installed one last week for a copier that's far away from any wired connection, so I just use that little guy and then it's connected wirelessly and still goes cat 5 into the copier..

They are just flat out AWESOME!

Hey Steve,

Do you know if those wireless game adapters will do WPA and/or WPA2?

You know I think it is...can you check on the label underneath and tell me what version it is? (ex. v1.0, v1.1, v2.0, etc.)

Ok so the one I have is an old model but never been used(sorry it not crusty. Not sure if it works for you.
