Is this site really alive?

I submitted an article on Oct 4th and it has not been accepted or rejected. I see new articles dated today -- I wonder how long they had to wait to be accepted.

Hi, Any plans to support a device with a DSL/Cable modem embedded, similar to the DG834G model? Thanks!

email notification of network events

wjcarpenter — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:08:30 GMT

The existing email notification for content related stuff (available in various Netgear routers) is fine for those who want that. I don't happen to care about it, but it's not skin off my nose. I'd be interested in piggybacking on top of that to get notification of network events. My primary interest is in various kinds of attacks from the WAN side, but it might also be nice to occasionally get notification streams when devices (particularly WIFI) attached/detached, etc.

My Router Wishlist

Jon Skanes — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:36:48 GMT

Hi All, I'm a self employed system admin/consultant based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. All of my customers would be considered small businesses. All of them are using Linux in some fashion. I've used a few different routers with Open-WRT and would love one platform to standardize on. Here is my wishlist: Fast CPU and more RAM: Most of my customers are remotely managed. For this, I use OpenVPN in combination with Shorewall Firewall. None of the base consumer grade open sourceable routers have the beef to handle it with the exception of the ASUS WL-500G Premium. Even this one leaves a little to be desired. It has a MIPS32 processor at 266MHz. The memory requirements are quite steep as well. Using the conntrack feature of the 2.6 kernel is quite a memory hog. The ASUS barely manages at 32M. 64M would be ideal. Crypto Accelerator: This is more of a dream item. If the CPU is fast enough to handle 25 or so simultaneous OpenVPN connections using AES-256, it's not really necessary. Must have open source drivers available and work with OpenSSL and OpenVPN supporting AES256 and SHA512. Storage Subsystem: The closest router I've tried that matches my requirements...

Important: April Site Updates and Improvements

Peter Redmer — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:09:41 GMT

Greetings, As many of you have seen, MyOpenRouter has undergone several updates and improvements over the last few months. As we continue to evolve this innovative and original approach to our community software platform, we hope you find many of the changes and enhancements enjoyable and useful. I would also like to say that as we continue to try new ideas, we really value feedback from you, our users. Not all of the changes we've made over the last year have made people do cartwheels and backflips out of pure joy, but we always have our ears perked up to hear your thoughts and make this community work exactly how you want. The vast majority of changes I'll talk about below are inspired by the feedback we've gotten, so please keep those suggestions and calls for improvements coming. So without further adieu, let's get to the updates! This time it's all about the forums and comments, and I (personally) think you'll all love what's new. Single Thread, Single Topic First the biggest change of all... After much feedback, the concept of multi-dimensional forum threads is going away, meaning that threads will no longer be multi-tagged to forum topics. The concept...

How To Upload Pictures and Post Videos

MrScott — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 23:31:40 GMT

This article provides step by step instructions for how to upload pictures from your computer directly into your community contributions. It also shows how to add YouTube videos that can be viewed directly in your contributions. How to Upload Pictures Directly into Posts and Articles Most community members know that they can add photo links when editing their forum posts and articles. This is done by pasting a photo's internet URL address into the Insert/edit Image dialog. What many contributors do not know is that you can upload pictures directly from your computer and have them appear in community contributions. That means you do not have to use a photo hosting service to share your pictures with the community. Here is how it is done. First, in the post edit area, click on the Tree icon to get the Image Insert/edit dialog. Note that there is a Browse icon to your right of the Image URL field. When you click on that Browse Icon, you will get the Image Upload dialog. Note that I already have a previously uploaded picture in the screen capture of the dialog. Once you upload a picture, it is associated with the thread, blog, or...
