This is Leo! I have decided to help out iseeinet and is my first time posting.
Today, I would like to share with you all an interesting idea and product by Fon. It is the La Fonera Wireless Router.
Fon allows people from all over the world form WIFI communities. Members of the community network can become either a Linus or a Bill. A Linus, in exchange for sharing their own internet connection at home, gets to enjoy it too from members of the other Fon hotspot anywhere. A Bill on the other hand, gets to milk customer known as Aliens - some money in exchange for using their connection. Linus has an additional advantage in getting free connection off from a Bill's hotsspot. Existing hotspots can be found at this link.
The router is simply worthy of your penny, however it has 2 most common downside.
First of all, the La Fonera version 1 has only a single WAN ports. Most home user thinking of getting a router would like to have a LAN port also, thus they can hook up at least more computers without drafting higher budgets, especially due to wired Network cards being cheaper. Secondly, the unit also runs hot, and can at times burn your hand by touching it. Nevertheless, there are many alternative firmware out there for you to play around with, not just to be tied with Fon's idea.
Interested in the La Fonera? Skydio is selling at a price of only $39! Cheap bargain.
On my next blog entry, I would like to share with you all an alternative WIFI community site, sharing off with some of your existing wireless routers instead.
See you!
