NotesMy prefered solution for general router console access is via a Bluetooth connection. This Bluetooth connectivity is provided with a Bluetooth module such as the "BlueSMiRF" module sold by SparkFun (see note below). The Bluetooth connection is based on the SPP/RFCOMM profiles which this module supports. Access from Windows, Macs, and Linux systems quite easy. I use hyperterm on Windows-based systems and minicom on Linux-based systems.FeedUnfurl
NotesThe story of the Linksys Wireless-G Router (model WRT54G) and how you can turn a $60 router into a $600 router is a little bit CSI and a little bit Freaks & Geeks.Unfurl
