Lately I’ve been using two Mikrotik mAP lite devices back-to-back. Unfortunately, the device hasn’t had any update in ages and using alternative firmware makes wireless bridging functionality much more difficult than it should be.
#ASUS MAC ADDRESS WL 330GE HOW TO#
In one of the future posts we can talk about connecting over VPN and how to skin that particular cat.įor me a favorite wireless-to-wireless bridge device was aging Asus WL-330gE. Yes, having your own wireless doesn’t necessarily fix that as you still go over unprotected media but it is a necessary first step. And you will be surprised how much data is actually not encrypted. Connecting to an open network (or one with widely known key) means every single device is fully exposed to snooping gremlins hiding around. Particularly handy if you bring your Roku or Chromecast with you as they generally have no provisions for even entering user name/password combination. One reason is convenience – if you always connect to your own wireless access point, you have everything setup and ready to go without annoying web prompts. Having a device capable of bridging two wireless networks is becoming a necessity. That means you cannot simply plug-in your own wireless and have it just work. While wireless is available in the most hotels these days, the good old ethernet cable seems to be disappearing bit by bit.
