Hi Daemons,
I need some basic information about Wifi routers - very little I know about it.
There is my FreeBSD-server (the other one is Linux) and some clients are
connected with a LAN-switch.
Now I want to add a Wifi Router to the network. I am not sure if I can set up the router without using some Windows software what comes with the router.
My questions:
I just connect the Wifi router to the LAN and it should work? Or do I need any
software (drivers) to keep the thing running?
There must be some software to 'talk' to the router - for setup. Is there
anything available for FreeBSD or do I need Windows environment (what I dont
have available)? What did you use to install your Wifi-router?
It depends on the router. Many if not most routers provide a web based
configuration tool, but a special application may be needed to update
firmware.
I have an airport extreme, works great, but no web interface. My DSL is
a 3Com with WiFi, it also has a web interface. I have seen routers that
allows a commandline configuration tool, connect with ssh or telnet and
upload or download the configuration with ftp.
BR, Erik
