Can this be changed at all to run over the ethernet port?

I have the following

MIKROTIK Metal 2SHPn (RouterOS Level 4)

[www.wifi-stock.co.uk]


2.4GHz 15dBi Outdoor Omni-directional Antenna TL-ANT2415D

[www.tplink.com]

The ide ais i run the Mikrotik as an AP. I can set an IP but if the Pi can make an ip, DHCP for it then ideal.

I've had 5 miles so far withthe above setup as an AP.

I got a few 2TB drives kicking about, stick them both on the pi via SATA to USB and away you go

splitted the topic.

Yes it is possible.

Have a look PirateBox on RaspberryPI without Wifi here and test it.
Theoretical this should work. The piratebox configuration is designed to enable running in such contexts

How did you get on with the setup. I am planning something similar but using a standard router for WiFi. This should give me much better range than the USB stick I am currently using.

When using an alternative device for the AP I assume you need to some how forward all requests from the AP to the Pi?

Ok thanks Matthias, My router arrived today its a DLink DIR-615 I have flashed it with DDWRT to make it nicer to deal with,

It looks like I need to start from scratch so will be making a go of it tomorrow.

I'd like to know how you got on.

I've managed to find a DLink DIR-615 D2 and am busy collecting the tools I need. My idea is the same. Pi + router + battery. I shall report back with results.

Got a few btomehubs and played with them instead. I made free home phones for people instead.

Sorry people. No progress.
