Making the Asus WL-520gU portable.
Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2010 8:06 am
Hello,
I want to power the router with some external power thing. Just like you can charge your iPod with some special chargers. I want to power up the router with something like that. To make it 'portable'. So I did found this. It has 5 volts and 2A, exactly what the routers needs, and after some little discussion with someone the router could run a few hours on it with not to heavy work. But... because I don't have that much money at all for some little project, I was wondering if the router could work on 1A. The most products that can function as an external battery have an output of 1A (1000mAh, just to be sure ^.^") and are a lot cheaper.
I want to make a portable sniffer. Meaning as in letting it run on DD-WRT and putting a flash drive in it as a 'hard drive'. Then run a sniffer on it and let it log. And then I want it to be completely powered with some battery pack. And again, it just needs to run an hour or so, not more. There are a lot of other things I want to do with the router too besides that (making it a multi-project :3) such as having an IRC bouncer on it, and maybe even some network file sharing (it has an usb port anyway and a hub could be used)
I hope anyone can help me! Thanks in advance!
Kind Regards,
