[/h3][hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"][h3]HOWTO turn a $60 Linksys router into a $600 super-router         [/h3] An open-source replacement firmware for a $60 Linksys router can give it the functionality of a $600 enterprise device. That's because Linksys/Cisco got caught using GNU/Linux in their routers without abiding by the GPL licensing terms and were forced to publish the details of their firmware, opening the door to open source hackers who added all kinds of improvements to the router. With the instructions in this HOWTO, you can turn your Linksys into a super-router that runs your phone network using the open-source phone-switcher Asterisk, boost your signal strength and perform many other cool tricks.
