− | My brother gave me a FONERA router which I will make into a WLAN link station soon. Here are the important links I have collected:
| + | The Fonera is a fantastic platform because |

− | * http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Fon/Fonera | + | * it is cheap |
− | * http://sodoityourself.com/accessing-serial-console-on-the-fon | + | * there are many routers on sale in Ebay |
− | * http://jauzsi.hu/2006/10/13/inside-of-the-fonera | + | * power consumption is minimal |
− | * http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/LaFonera_Hardware_Serial-Cable-Port | + | * it has two network interfaces: LAN / WLAN |
− | * http://www.flickr.com/photos/mother/261623405/sizes/o/ | + | * it has a GPIO interface |
− | * http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/262.html | + | * there's a lot of information on the net |
− | * http://wiki.cuwin.net/index.php?title=Flashing_the_La_Fonera_with_OpenWRT Excellent intro on flashing the fonera | + | * LINUX / OpenWRT will run on it |
| | | |
− | I intend to use the FONERA router as remote little box to serve a WLAN link, but also to handle a packet radio Terminal Node Controller. Because it is a little hard to have software running on it, I want it to make its ttyS0 available over the network to my core box... '''ser2net''' seems an interesting way to go.
| + | Here are two finished projects: |
| | | |
− | * http://www.nwlab.net/tutorials/ser2net/konsolenserver-linux.html | + | * [[Turn a Fonera router into a link station]] |
− | * http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=13161 | + | * [[Setting up a WIFI link between DL8RDS and DB0MHB]] |

− | Hacking it is extremely simple. Just follow the instructions given [http://sodoityourself.com/accessing-serial-console-on-the-fon here] and connect a level shifter correctly and you will get access to the Redboot BIOS. The only little difficulty I ran into was to keep any kind of flow control switched off. If HW flow control should still be "on", you cannot write to the console and entering CTRL-C will not cause Redboot to come up.
