Hi everyone am very new to the openwrt world and kinder looking for some idea. I just finished modding my wrt56g with the openwrt firmware, I don’t have a really idea on what I want to do with it yet or the software I can install on it. So he is where my question comes to play... what kind of software can i install , if I get a few names I can research them and find out what they do, give me a better idea of what i want to do. so far I already have snort.
thank in advances
you can put roombacomm on it and use it to control a roomba wireless!! ha
"opkg list" will give you a good list of what you can install on your router with a single command. My favorites are openvpn and asterisk! But you can also do a jabber server, mail server, bittorrent, etc. Almost anything you can do with a normal linux server you can do with openwrt, it is very powerful.
Wrong sub-forum....
The discussion might have continued from here.
