Re: [LUG] current routers for cable

 
It would. ÂBut it is 11 years old.

I did once upon a time use a white box with a spare network card, running off the BT Home Highway ISDN I had then.

And I still want radio, OTOH I suppose I could use madam's Mac Mini as the radio set.

I'm beginning to think my 20th Century Linksys router should be replaced.

Virgin cable coming in on co-ax.

There's a Draytek with WAN and wireless and ADSL for under Â200 that looks
plausible ...?

Ideally I'd like something that can have its OS reflashed with Linux of
course but actually the Linksys still has the original on it.

Why not see if it will take OpenWRT ?

Failing that any old Linux box with 2 Ethernet ports will do you. I use an MiniITX Intel Atom board and a plug-in 4-port Ethernet card for the various LANs in my home/office running Debian.
