Cisco Linksys WRT160NL - 'toy' specifically for open source people

Being open-source who likes to use toxic goods, Mr. Nguyen scoured the place to find an open-source Wi-fi device. He shared his experience when he found a unique 'toy'.

Spoiled 'dabble' the software

I must admit that I have an inherent habit of open source people that 'like to use poison' . After a Sunday morning having trouble connecting to the wireless, struggling to reset the config file forever, I decided to find a new Wi-Fi transmitter.

As a programmer using the open source system (Open Source) with online needs anytime, anywhere, what I need at a wifi transmitter is a quick connection, high data transfer rate and range wide coverage. So after spending time researching and researching everywhere, I decided to choose a wifi transmitter designed on the Cisco Linksys WRT160NL open source platform.

When I have a little free time, I often scramble with this new item and re-code the systems to better suit the needs and nature of my work. I was delighted to discover that the open feature of the Cisco Linksys WRT160NL allows users to replace firmware to be able to test other features. Firmware are fixed software for controlling the device's internal content, but the software at the Cisco Linksys WRT160NL is very flexible. Originally written on an open source platform, the firmware of Cisco Linksys WRT160NL allowed me to upgrade to a completely new version with more interesting utilities. In addition, I also set up additional security tools and power saving mode for my router.

Comfortable data sharing, flexible access

I am also quite pleased with the Storage Link Flexible Storage function when it allows me to share with other members of the network the ' heavy ' data such as movies, music clips, songs with HD standards. (high definition) easy, fast with just one click. Storage Link technology works by the ability to connect storage devices such as USB / portable hard drives (flash drive) or hard drives directly to the Router, which also turns the Router into an FTP server. .

With a local WLAN system consisting of three laptops and a desktop like my family, all members of the home can carry laptops around the house and still have access to the Internet at a steady speed. This is thanks to MIMO ' Multi Input, Multiple In, Multiple Out technology with flexible storage capability. This utility is also very useful in case when I was sitting at the company, I could still access the network at home. A device that is quite convenient to connect and represents the ' high-tech ' range!

When using an old network device, sometimes logging in or accessing remotely via Network, it is common to experience a problem of ' disconnection '. But my new ' friend ' Cisco Linksys WRT160NL completely fixes this situation.

After more than three weeks of experience with the Cisco Linksys WRT160NL, I felt really satisfied with the decision to change my wireless device.

Working in the field of information technology, information security is always at the forefront because only a document file or a code is attacked by hackers, as if the job failed. With a good open source operating system for information security, I trusted Linux. Now, with the addition of the Cisco Linksys WRT160NL, the security can be said to be absolute. That's why I think, WRT160NL is the ' private toy ' of open source people!
