As the previous owner of one of the "need of further hacking" routers, I want to thank Bill, Kevin and Jeff in particular, and all of the other participants in Saturday's session.

While I have read about this technology for years I have never before successfully loaded a "third-party" firmware package into a wireless ( or other ) router.

I have also never successfully bricked a router!


It was a very enjoyable and educational session, and I would certainly like to attend others.


Thanks,
Brian
