If I could have a network wide open port that would be great. I can knock a hole in the firewall to be “more” friendly to P2P apps like BitTorrent, but the forwarding is bound to specific IPs, yet they are assigned via DHCP, so… its a chicken and egg situation, you don’t know which PC is going to get which IP (though you can make a good guess). The one thing I would like to change in the firmware is port-fowarding. I will still share with polite folk, and the SSID on the router is “In_302_Knock_On_Door_4_WEP_Key” I don’t mind lending bandwidth, but downloading gobs of stuff is leeching, and rude. I was running the wireless open, since on of my Wi-Fi cards was an ancient 16 bit PC-card in an OLD Mac powerbook, until I caught a neighbor leeching. The only thing I could ask for was more ethernet ports (there is only one) but the built in wireless has uncouraged me to cut the cord in my home. Its very robust, and I do not need an additional router, NAT or firewall, as the modem has all these built in. I have one of these, and I find the native features to be pretty nice – no hacking needed. Have you done anything neat with your 701 or a different embedded linux router? do you have any great ideas for what could be done with this system? tell us about it in the comments area. then you can open up your wireless network for your neighbors, but not broadcast your email in the clear.
#QWEST Q1000 FIRMWARE INSTALL#
better yet, install ssh and use it as a tunneling server. you could always port forward, but it’s one less machine to worry about. Most people have a single static ip, so it would be sort of neat to have your dsl router run a small static web site.
#QWEST Q1000 FIRMWARE HOW TO#
seatllewireless has a nice page describing the system, and people have already figured out how to build and install custom firmware on the device. The interesting thing about these new actiontec routers is that they run linux. i believe this is what they are starting to distribute by default in my area, and i wouldn’t be surprised if these were to be found elsewhere as well.
After having problems with my old dsl router, i finally ordered and received the actiontec gt701-wg from qwest.
