Hey guys - just about finished configuring my new Linksys router and wifi box.... it is inetoperating nicely with my previous 802.11b EdiMax WAP point and all is good....
There are a couple of sticking points for me though:-
1. I like to disable broadcasting of my SSID (done this fine with EdiMax WAP), but when I do this with the Linksys it seems like my wi-fi machines cannot pick up the connection again, maybe it is being built different in SP2 or I have to reboot all the machines, but I htink I tried that with one to no avail. Anyone have any thoughts on that one?
2. I sometimes liked a feature on my EdiMax that enabled me to monitor network traffic (I could see who was sucking most bandwidth - usually me!). I cannot seem to find similar function for my LinkSys... does it exist? There are a whole load of neat new things like admin options to schedule times to allow connections and firewall/VPN, but nothing for this that I can find.... unless anyone out there knows different?
Cheers guys! (Next project is to run CAT5 and move the old WAP point to a more advantageous place for garden coverage )
