Router sharing
This might initially not seem to be directly related to eBooks, but please bear with me.
Like most of you I have a WiFi router, at most I think I have 16 devices connected to it. That still leaves a lot of open connections just sitting there, completely useless. For obvious reasons I don't want anyone to gain access to what I have on my network, but I actually wouldn't mind sharing some of my resources.
I would love to open up something like ten connections. Perhaps set up a total of Internet bandwidth to 1 or 2 Mb for public use.
I don't think that is a possibility with my D-Link DIR-655, but are there other routers that will support such a setup, in essence providing a few IPs for public usage?
This would be a boon to those with eReaders without 3G support. They could stop up while within my range, download a book and be on their way. If this was a possibility I think a lot of people would be happy to provide some ten IPs or so, if they can limit it to 10 - 15% of their bandwidth.
