UTOS – openWRT

So Thursday I attended UTOSC’s session on openWRT. Mike Lovell really motivated me to try and put openWRT on a wifi router. So I had be given an Netgear wnr2000 from my physics friend Tim. It has 4MB flash and 32 MB ram and a wireless N 2.4GHz Radio. So Friday night I set out to get it all flashed and working. To my surprise it was releatively easy to get openWRT install. I got ssh working, and the wifi setup. I’m excited to have it as an always on ssh server. It only draws 12 Watts. Not bad for a computer.
