Hello all,
I have a few extra parts laying around and my router is going out. So i thought for a project, i would build a router.
I have my old q9300 cpu (might trade it to a buddy for his dual since quadcore is a bit overkill for a router) and some corsair ddr2 memory. As i dont know to much about making my own router i came to tom's hardware hoping for some feedback.
What is the best/cost effective way to create my router? I know i need two lan cards, but is there any features needed or special requirements? Also, how do i go about getting it to broadcast a wireless signal?
I want to make it as small as possible, but i realize having 3 cards in it will limit that goal a bit.
thanks,
Terry.
