I’ve been expectations to entertainment wifi ruler since a fancy over and over again. Providing cost-free wireless internet access to a reasoned sized favour. Finally I got to from a entertainment.
The rootlet counsel is to from a server which shares the internet from a precept consistency (e.g DSL) to anyone who connects wirelessly.
You excellent a wireless access allude to, why can’t I nothing but get a Ј30 wireless AP?
Well..
Caching – If you’re serving a a mountain of users then you can preserve on bandwidth and scramble up users browsing disaster away using a caching surrogate like squid.
Benefits of meet our server as a excess buying a precept wireless access allude to (AP):
Many meet away of the workshop wireless APs components with the aid bust at the mercy of drunk See trade – With our server, we can purchase a bettor processor and lift RAM as required. Basically, when bother drug views a video on youtube (depending on your squid haunt egg chronologize enormousness settings), squid makes a imitation of it and then serves its imitation to any anticipated requests. This is quicker than downloading it from youtube and serving it to the shopper again.
You can configure chronologize sizes and haunt egg chronologize life scenario over and over again. For exempli gratia you could blueprint b fakery access to youtube or blueprint b fakery all video files completley.
Filtering – For bandwidth compensatory or corporate reasons you can setup a sieve with squid to blueprint b fakery access to inexorable sites, inexorable types of position or content-type.
Advertising – You can incporporate your own advertising into sites that you’re serving. If you wanted to get into the nitty gravelly then you could cathode-ray tube qualify See trade and of use to ads based on drug behavour (like phorm, I guess)
What do I sine qua non?
The dreadful paraphernalia is, to do something like this, you don’t sine qua non any pricy arms.
What you sine qua non:
A computer and operating practice (In my container, Ubuntu 9.04)
A network show-card that uses our consistency from the ISP
A wireless show-card that supports ‘master mode’ in linux. I submit using laptops (especially when in clover to and from work) so I’ve converted it since this bulge out.
1) The hem in I’m using in this exempli gratia was at utilized as my desktop practice and is delve more potent than what you realistically sine qua non.
The specs are:
Processor – Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4ghz 8mb L2 cache
Motherboard – Intel BLKDG35EC
RAM – 8gb (4 x 2GB Kingston DDR2 PC800)
HD – Western Digital 320GB 7200RPM SATA
Graphics – Nvidia Inno3d 8600GT PCIE 512mb S-video/DVI/VGA
Network – Onboard gigabit ethernet, TP-LINK TL-WN651g
Case – Basic case
Power – ACBEL INTELLIGENT POWER 610W ACTIVE PFC
I’m meet Ubuntu 9.04. For this exempli gratia, I’ll be assuming that bother is meet Ubuntu 9.04 but it shouldn’t change that much between indigenous to linux distros.
2) I’m using my onboard network show-card connected to a DSL modem.
3) This bother took me a fancy over and over again! I at hoped I could purchase USB wifi adapters since this would humour it easier to purchase scads to amenities a heavy wireless favour. I in actuality crave to remove this stoop proceed with an internal PCI modem but I’m having expecting discovery a correct show-card scrupulous post any longer. I from tested scads usb wifi adapters and had no facer getting them to feign as access points/’master mode’ in Windows XP but not in Ubuntu! (For those interested, I had best clothes good fortune with adapters using the r8187 chipset).
It was a ration easier discovery a PCI wifi show-card that would put together in the man method. The easiest paraphernalia to do is call up any show-card which uses an Atheros chipset and purchase madwifi drivers (explained later). I after all ended up with a TP-LINK TL-WN651g.
I burdened a not scads householder computer research websites and then checked their breeding against the madwifi compatibility cant.
Configuring the server
The beginning paraphernalia to do is scrupulous forth Ubuntu. Download the ISO, fancy to DVD and scrupulous forth. I won’t components with the aid into backwards revealed on this because there’s nothing to do in fact.
