Fon , those lovable guys trying to make a WiFi sharing community , are celebrating their 1 - year birthday with a 10,000 router giveaway . The b / g routers have both a secret and public entree point , and you’re able to partake your broadband with strangers in exchange for free access to other Fon user ’s APs around the humankind , or for hard currency when non - Fon users pony up .
The router , design by Cisco , is palm sized . And despite some rumors on the internet , it is not stronger than ye previous full sized AP . In special , I compared it to a Linksys 802.11 A / g-force router , the WRT55AG . The signaling military posture for the Fon was only 70 % of the bigger router . There are n’t any ethernet ports , either . But look at how tiny this matter is ? Use this affair as a second AP . And do I need to cue you that this usually $ 30 router is going for detached now . No shipping . No revenue enhancement .
Go Giz readers ! You are the fast reader on all of the net !
OK , so you have to lumber into the public AP with the user / pass you signed up at fon ’s website with . That activates your AP . You enter your full info , address to be added into the Fon AP directory , and then you ’re ready to apply both the public and secret hot spot . It ’s a bit disappointing that the AP ’s control control panel is on FON ’s organization , but that ’s the price of a free router .
