This guide will show you how to setup your own hotspot using a LinkSys WRT54GL wireless router and also using the services of HotSpotSystem.com. In the 1st part we'll replace the default firmware with DD-WRT. For more information please visit our website at: www.hotspotsystem.com The text version of the setup guide can be found at www.hotspotsystem.com (including the link to the firmware image) Part 2 of the video can be found here: www.youtube.com

800mW Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Point/Repeater/Client/Bridge
- 800mW Outdoor Wi-Fi bi-directional transmitter with or without built-in antenna
- Fully programmable with 5 levels of power settings, WEP,WPA, WPA-PSK security
- multiple SSIDs, Power over Ethernet with everything included for ease of installation
- including 80' cat5 cable, poe injector, power supply, mounting kit, disc
- line of sight range, point to point of 2-5 miles.
This is an outstanding wifi transmitter with or without antenna, and up to 800mW of transmit power. Choose from a unit with the built in 15dBi gain flat panel antenna, or the "N" model where you can use any antenna for a variety of coverage areas and transmit distance.
One of our On-Site tests yielded 11MBPS connection speed at a distance of 1450 feet using a 12 db gain (2412P) antenna, an 802.11b - 11MBPS router and a standard Dell laptop. We would have had more throughput using an 802.11g router.

Broadcom Sees the Linuxy Light at Last
Good things come to those who wait, as the saying goes, and recently the Linux community had occasion to observe a vivid illustration close to home. Specifically, after years of ill repute as one of the primary wireless chipmakers that didn't support Linux, Broadcom on Monday showed the community some love.

DUDE!!! This Is Awesome!!!!

Nice project but why a second serials? i thought 1 is only needed
January 16th, 2011 - 10:06
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooool
January 16th, 2011 - 10:07
no i dont think u can control this from anywhere in the world.
January 16th, 2011 - 10:07
Where did you take that robot ? And can you control it from anywhere in the world ?
January 16th, 2011 - 10:09
For the flip over thing… Just add a Arm or something to flip it back over,,
January 16th, 2011 - 10:26
yes. As long as it keeps the same IP Address.. and someone doesn’t decide to steal it.
January 16th, 2011 - 10:36
wow nice work men,i am at the last year computer engineering,and i want to make my graduation project this one,can you help me please?
January 16th, 2011 - 10:56
From what i understand.. with RC cars, digital controllers enable you to have more precise control of the thing, over just, “Stop, reverse, and Go”
January 16th, 2011 - 11:08
ta potem michalski popierdala z routerem na takim
January 16th, 2011 - 11:21
Can you put that anywhere on the world that has a wifi point and then go in a different country and control it from another wifi point?
January 16th, 2011 - 11:47
sam, he said it looks for open access points, so it would seem as long as he can jump from router to router he can keep going. Needs GPS locator, ha.
January 16th, 2011 - 11:52
Now that’s cool….and it doesn’t cost $5,000 like the 914 PC-BOT. You’ve gotta love the WRT54G router for their ability to be modified.
It does still suffer the same fate as most R/C cars…they flip over sometimes…and go down sewers…………and get run over by larger cars.
January 16th, 2011 - 12:02
Impressive
January 16th, 2011 - 13:00
get a gas powered one
January 16th, 2011 - 13:57
hmmm i saw this on hack a day but how can you control it via the internet, doesnt it need a modem connected to the router because it is only a router
January 16th, 2011 - 14:01
Only 1 serial port is needed. It’s not much work to add a second one, so I did. I also used the second one for debugging the software. Now that’s it’s debugged, you don’t need to worry about that though.
January 16th, 2011 - 14:20
From what I’ve read about hacking these, the contacts for both serial ports are usually next to each other. So it’s easier to use a single 10 pin mount and just do both serial ports at once.
January 16th, 2011 - 14:38
cool Im trying to build my own right now, I just dont get it why did you add 2 serials? when you only need 1?
January 16th, 2011 - 15:24
też posiadam ten jedyny godny uwagi router WRT54GL (i jego “koledzy” GS i G), brawo stary, świetna modyfikacja, szacunek, za poświęcony czas i mózg do wykonania tego cuda…
i znowu twórcy tego modelu, nie dowierzają możliwością oprogramowania GPL (a właściwie co daje ta licencja)
January 16th, 2011 - 15:55

The reccomended router to use for HotSpot System is Linksys WRT54GL, any version can be used (1.0 or 1.1) but obviously the 1.1 version has slight hardware fixes from Linksys though the main difference was the firmware version which in our case does not matter because we are replacing it with DD-WRT.
Just a note, version 1.0 of the router has two rows of LED’s and 1.1 has one row (less LEDs), people commonly get confused when they see two images of the same router.

Videos have been updated for those who are using DD-WRT v24.

January 17th, 2011 - 00:36
The default Linksys firmware username/password is admin/admin. The username and password for DD-WRT changes to root/admin after install.
Just a note.
