The Linksys WRT54G is ready to go!

We officially have the first version of the FON software running smoothly. The access point it works with today is the Linksys WRT54G. This model is sold in most computer/IT stores including FNAC and PC CIty. Why this model? Because it works wth open source software and it's great quality. If you already own this model, all you have to do is download the FON software, connect your Linksys, install the software onto your Linksys and convert into a FON access point. Soon, all this is going to be explained in detail in the FON website. If you don't already have a WiFi connection, we recommend you buy this model in any store or you can buy one from FON on our website. If you buy it from us, you'll have it already configured and ready to go. Obviously, for some, it's not fantastic news that FON only works with Linksys, but rest assured, in less than 4 months, FON will work with many more models. To make up for this, we're thinking of how we can make Aliens pay Bills and Linuses without FON pocketing anything, until the price of the units bought is amortized.

When will the solution be ported to other types of access point technologies? linksys does not dominate the market does it?

Hm.. well Raj it's not only the problem of dominating the market :\
There is also fact that offered "Linksys WRT54G" is not best solution, I mean the performances didn't show well here in my wireless comm. in BiH (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
But on the other side maybe it's just enough good for sth. like FON movement. So..
The best FON can do now is to support as much as possible different equipment, rooters +
P.S.some people already have computer's with WiFi cards as AP's, how to join them ?
