    Trying to use an old router as a wireless bridge

    My understanding is that it should be completely independent of the gateway (I could be wrong on this, though). Unfortunately, I don't have another router handy to test it out. When you tried with two DD-WRT routers, did you try it with everything set exactly the same as your ISP's gateway?

    Trying to use an old router as a wireless bridge

    Ok, so I got things working by setting it up as a repeater, following these instructions. Means my desktop is on a different subnet, but that's not a big deal. Just thought I'd update, in case anyone else comes across this post.

    Trying to use an old router as a wireless bridge

    I recently rearranged my house, and now the most convenient place to set up my computer is unfortunately inconvenient to run a wire to. Fortunately, I have an old router lying around (Linksys E2500), that I figured I could use as a bridge, and while it wouldn't be as fast as connecting a wire...

    Can anyone recommend a method to have all pdf files in a given folder automatically OCR? My scanner saves files as pdf, but I would like them to be searchable. Thanks in advance.

    Medical Is the 4G internet tower harmful for health?

    No, there is no evidence of any risk of health problems from such a station. The risk you should be worried about is the perception of uneducated people, who may avoid your building because of irrational fears of such things, thus lowering the value of your property.

    Any More Sexy Song Recommendations for My Playlist?

    Hey, sorry I haven't been online. I was on vacation in Vietnam for the past few weeks. Thanks for the suggestions so far. The Chris Isaak song fits well, and the Heather Nova one is pretty good too. I hadn't thought of STP, that song works well as well. The others don't quite fit with the...

    Any More Sexy Song Recommendations for My Playlist?

    I'm trying to put together a playlist. I'm not looking for romantic songs, necessarily, more looking for appropriate sound than what the lyrics are saying... I found two songs that are pretty much perfectly what I want, but I can't seem to find any others that I like nearly as much. If...
