Titan Hotspots Park Outside Titan Hotspots: Our world in and out of context.

We wanted to write a quick note to let everyone know that we’ve been loving the community over at myopenrouter.com. It’s a group of people developing, tweaking, and just having fun with Netgear’s new opensource router. It’s the router we use to run client’s hotspots so you know it’s got to be great. Stop over and read the blog written by our owner at http://www.myopenrouter.com/blog/13/The-Business-End-Of-Open-Source-Networking/. Have a good night!

We’ve recently discovered a new router that Netgear came out with a few months ago. After making a curiosity-driven purchase and playing around a bit, I’m glad to say that I am impressed. The WGR614L is an open source wireless router with an entire community surrounding different developments for the equipment. DD-WRT, Tomato, and OpenWRT firmware all work with the router as well as Netgear’s own factory firmware and a community-built independent build.

The people around here were so impressed with the possibilities of the Netgear WGR614L that Titan Hotspots has begun working with the fine folks at Netgear’s Advanced Wireless Division. We’d like to announce that we are now using Netgear’s router to power our new client hotspots. We’ve worked hard to modify our management software work with the device and arranged to purchase Netgear routers for new setups. This will provide our clients with what we believe to be a more reliable and faster hotspot connection.

Congrats on a better surfing session for all Titan Hotspots’ users!
