Build a Hotspot at Home

Development of computer network is now very rapidly, especially the development of Wi-Fi connection, many devices that require connection to wi-fi so that can be connected to the internet such as mobile phones and notebook. So when you say "Wi-Fi" today, you probably mean 802.11b, which is a subset of the general 802.11 standard. A standard means the technical form of something such as a message or a communication. In other words, a standard might specify how the communication is made.

In my home, I use DSL to connect to the internet. I place the DSL modem on the floor above my home not far from my PC. But when I buy a notebook that support wi-fi, I started thinking to share internet access through the hotspot, so with this technology I can use a notebook around the house even on the first floor.

To build a hotspot at home I decided to buy Linksys WRT54G because the price is affordable by my bag and it is very easy to settings. here the simple steps
  • Configure your router name and your local IP address at home.


  • Configure wireless SSID and channel that will be accessed from your notebook


  • Don't forget to activate the security mode that can not be accessed by neighbors. You can choose between WEP or WPA mode whatever you want.



Your hotspot should be working now.
