Because of the way free hotspots work from most of your residential ISPs, most of the work was already done for me. However, what I had laying around was almost enough to complete the solution with out a) breaking the bank and b) getting locked into another contract with a major isp. So, instead of running out the door to the local shack, I decided to use some old unused hardware I had accumulated from past jobs. But here is how I did it with a Linksys Wrt54g:īackground: My in laws have a vacation home at the Jersey shore and recently wanted to add broad band internet with out incurring another monthly bill.

I will def need some constructive criticism and help from board members and gurus, as this is my first DD-WRT project. are just some ISPs that offer this, but I am only a Comcast customer and have no way to test that they actually will work with this guide. I know Time Warner, Optimum, CableVision etc. I'd imagine that this can be used for almost any ISP that allows their residential internet customers to gain internet access from public WiFi hotspots where available. I began engineering this to bring internet into my in-law's vacation home with out incurring another monthly expense to myself or them.
